> [@The\_Flying\_Dutchman](#): > > That’sa incredible ! Its only two for me at 61 years of age. It used to be at a minimum twice a day. Next time I see a doctor, I’m going to find out whats wrong with me. I worry that if I don’t use it I lose it. Perhaps I need testosterone supplementation. I get testosterone shots, for a variety of reasons. I haven’t noticed any effect whatsoever, but my doctor says I need it anyway. And it has nothing to do with orgasms or their frequency. ---

I am on TRT (Testerone Replacement Therapy) after my body stopped making testosterone due to chronic narcotic use for pain. I will agree that testosterone really has nothing to do with having an orgasm, it certainly has almost everything to do with desire. When my body stopped producing it I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I had zero sex drive. There could have been a naked NFL cheerleading team in front of me and I would have rather watched a movie. Once I started taking the shots my desire not only returned, but was as strong as when I was a teenager. My wife is a lucky woman! ---

I think the Pollster aimed too low with the highest number of times per week being “7+”. Probably should have been 0, 1-4, 5-10, 11-14, 15+. On my days off, I have about 3 or 4 a day. On working days, its usually 1 at the most. ---

I have issues coming with self-stimulation. Mental block. So it varies depending on my relationship status. ---

Committed female 30 years old. Much, much more than 7- usually two a day when I’m on my own, and that can go up exponentially on date nights. ---

Once a month is more than zero, less than one per week. Poorly designed poll. ---

According to a book I’m reading, _Sex At Dawn_, men who have 5 or more ejaculations a week in their twenties have a much lower rate of prostate cancer throughout their life. Kinda like flushing the lines. Probably not strictly related but interesting (imo). ---

> [@obbn](#): > > …She still makes me melt every time I look at her. I feel as if I am the luckiest man in the world… I don’t know about luckiEST, but unless the rest of your life sucks, for the most part, I would agree. Me: over 40, committed, right around 7 per week… but after reading this poll & thread I’m wondering if I should double it. So thanks!
