Compared to other mammals, humans have low fertility rates. Less than 30% of conceptions result in a successful pregnancy. But a new study may have a way to attenuate the problem: more sex.

The longer sperm stays inside the testicles, the more likely it is to suffer from reactive oxygen species, DNA’s number one enemy. By ejaculating daily, theoretically sperm should be healthier and more able to achieve conception.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
