Interesting article. Their dopamine prolactin description definitely explained my teenage days of masturbating 3+ times a day. They do make dopamine and prolactin out to be a bandit though (which they might have been when I was 15). However, into my twenties I have found that I don't have the desire to have sex or masturbate all of the time. I do find that I feel anti-social after sex, I never want to go to parties etc (perhaps an effect of prolactin). Interesting article though, it definitely gives some explanations to what a 'healthy sex life' might look life hormonally.
My experience says that at the age of about 50, attempting anything like 3
ejaculations or more almost daily would be suicidal. One can virtually feel vital life resource cells being depleted after each
ejaculation at this elderly age. Of course, this would not be the case during teens. I used to pray to stay away from thinking of sex or
ejaculation during those days! No use. My body chemistry would not allow. Now, for the past few years, I have settled down to 2
ejaculations per week the natural way and no masturbating.
After years of brooding on the subject, as many here also mentioned that the frequency depends on many factors, I feel it is best to let nature to control the
ejaculation frequency. A good way to allow this is to avoid meddling with natural
ejaculation by avoiding consciously manipulating
ejaculation during an intercourse (or a masturbation started in a natural urge) and also to avoid routinely attempting to erect when there is no mood.
