Male Fertility PERSPECTIVE on The November ABSTINENCE Trend
I wish there was a less NSFW name for this thing, but it is what it is. If you know you know, if you don't, hashtags below.
Anecdotally, the benefits of NNN are well documented across the internet so I won't get into them all here - boosting testosterone and regulating dopamine, supercharging motivation, focus and energy, improved sleep, mood, etc. - all powerful things.
That said, if you're planning to conceive after your month of abstinence, it's worth keeping in mind: after 4 days of abstinence, the vigor and quality of sperm starts to decline quickly. As you might imagine, overall sperm count goes up, however many of those sperm will begin to die off, morphology begins to decrease, motility begins to decrease dramatically and DNA fragmentation begins to rise.
So while it might *feel* like the perfect time to open the flood gates and try to conceive, it might be worth cycling some of those little fellas through. In general, any period of abstinence over 5 days isn't optimal for conception.
If you want to be super safe, go 74+ days for the full sperm regeneration cycle to complete (we're very lucky we can do this by the way), setting the little guys free every 3-5 days.
If you are going to pass a full 74+ day cycle there are a LOT of things you can do to optimize (I strongly recommend this anyway if you're trying to conceive). Too much to get into here, but if this is you or your partner reach out and we can dig in a bit. I'll be posting a lot about this upcoming.
Imho, in general, NNN can be a great thing and a real eye opener to the powerful role T and dopamine play in our life - but it can also fall into the same pitfalls of fad diets. You feel great for a month, then bounce back into old habits and patterns.
If you want to increase testosterone and regulate dopamine long-term, it might be worth considering implementing steady, intentional diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes that are long-lasting and sustainable.
SO - if you're partaking - enjoy your month of monk life, my man!
