It is appropriate for men to ejaculate once every two to three days. Generally, young and middle-aged adults may have sexual intercourse 2 to 3 times per week; those aged 40 to 50 years old may have it 1 to 2 times per week; and those aged 50 to 60 years old may have it 2 to 3 times per month. Patients are advised to develop good lifestyle routines and healthy eating habits. In particular, consuming foods high in zinc can improve sperm quality. Appropriate exercise can also enhance sperm motility.
