How can I increase my sperm count?

Sperm count can be affected by length of abstinence, nutrition, stress, amount of sleep, drug and alcohol use and illness. The most important step you can take to maximize your sperm count is to abstain from ejaculating for at least forty-eight hours before each storage visit. Forty-eight hours is the minimum amount of time it takes to replenish sperm. Between two to five days of abstinence is optimal. Abstinence of more than five days is likely to cause an accumulation of aging and dead sperm in the ejaculate.
