How Long Does Cum Actually "Build Up"

I’ve searched and read all the “holy grail” and ejaculation frequency discussions, but what I’m really curious about is how long do you edge before you’re just recycling fluids and your load is no longer benefiting?

I’ve deliberately achieved some decent self control over the years, to the point where I tell her “no I’m saving this one for the morning” or whatever. However, I’m curious how many days is just wasting time in terms of building up big loads. The science says 24-36 hours to “replenish” semen, but I’m sure they weren’t measuring money-shots. I’ve had buddies say they edged for a month and had “the biggest load ever”, but there’s no way that the potential volume continues to increase for 30 days.

What’s your experience?

Great question!

I’ve been trying to answer a similar question. Is seamen stored as time goes by or is it produced at the time of ejaculation? Obviously there is a build up, but is it stored somewhere? I say seamen, as sperm is only a small amount of total volume.

IME, 2-3 days. I usually get 6-7 ropes, then a couple dribbles on my first load. Subsequent loads are 2-3 ropes and a dribble; on particularly busy days, all the way out to the 4th or 5th load, ropes are gone, and just dribbles. Whether or not it’s been a couple days, or a week, doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Not stored, it just builds up. Desire and urgency to ejaculate increase through time. But there isn’t anywhere the semen builds up. There’s no “sac” or bladder-type organ in us that stores it. Its all produced during sex and more so at the moment of ejaculation and then its expelled. And semen doesn’t store in the balls or scrotum either, the whole “balls full of cum” they aren’t full of anything like that at all. Hope any of this helps!

Great question. Obviously, the chart isn’t a linear upward climb…you would explode. More like a rapid bell curve climb that simply stops at the top.

There are also nocturnal emissions. You might do your best to save up, only to have it deplete on its own in the middle of the night.

Very good point, Don! One I overlooked. I sleep naked. Over the week or so between washing the sheets, I have spots on my side of the bed. It’s not from intercourse, we put a separate blanket and towel down for easy cleanup.

It usually ends up looking like I was jerking off in bed, which I don’t do. Never really gave it much thought. Yet, another nuance. Wonder what my wife thinks about that? 🤔 🤣

According to my own research, this is something that I elaborated some time ago. I have been on the research of the cumshot for almost as long as I have been enlarging my dick. I have been about to post this under the holy grail thread, but it would derail the focus of that thread that is more towards nutrition for healthy cum.

Bottom line, there is no such thing as taking this or taking that to increase your cumshot. If you are healthy, your volume will be unchanged no matter how much of this or that you take. Now, if you are unhealthy, you WILL see a difference by taking multiple things posted online.

So the question is, how come we see guys cumming loads and ropes after rope, some claim to shoot a huge load after a week, after a month, etc. How come sometimes we randomly shoot a big load, others just dribble. How come with a new GF you cum more, etc.

It all comes down to an axis of psychology and hormones. It is a bizarre mixture between the endocrine system and the brain. When it comes to sex, there is a whole complex chemistry going on in the brain and the body. And depending on the tone of this chemistry is what will directly affect the ejaculation process. It is complex, difficult to understand, difficult to tweak, and even more difficult to manipulate.

If we wanted to come close to the ideal scenario: Your nutrition has to be on point, your mental health as far as stress, sleep. Your hormone levels and endocrine system in general has to be optimal. Now the most difficult factor: Brain chemistry. For example, if you happen to just meet the girl of your dreams, you deeply fall in love, she turns you wild in every single aspect of your life, you WILL shoot massive loads. On of the main contributors to the, is a hormone called Oxytocin. Oxytocin basically is the physical translation of being extremely horny to a level out of control with somebody. This hormone increase the libido, increase erection quality, increase affection, and most importantly, controls ejaculation. Among other things in ejaculation, strength of contractions of PC muscle, synchronization between prostate and seminal vesicles, efraction potency. In conjunction with this, you have other supporting hormones such as Norepinephrine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and others. It is a delicate balance of the body.

But what about guys not in love or with a perfect woman shooting massive loads? Well, this “scenario” does not necessarily happen with a perfect woman. Some people’s brain have fetiches. Sometimes without even knowing. It is all mind tricks of our subconscious with our conscious. For example, some guys might go wild in terms of libido just by having the thought of filming themselves jerking off. Others might get turned on in a wild way just by being jerked by a girl and so on.

For example, when you were really young. And you discovered porn. And you wanted to watch those movies, but you couldnt because of your parents, school, whatever. Til one day, you were home alone, was able to open the videos jerked your brain out and came like a horse. It is the stimuli in the brain of that new undiscovered unexplored world.

From a physiological stand point, we are the same. The size of the prostate, seminal vesicles, coupers glands, will variate within a range of milimiters, so the amount of fluids they can hold and shoot out is almost the same. What changes is the mechanism to shoot all this load out, and that mechanism is our own body through all the process explained before.

In fact, if you jerk off you will cum a certain amount. If you jerk off almost immediately a second time, you will cum a similar amount. Now, what if those 2 loads could have come out together in the first? It would have been a huge load. People who shoot a massive load, if they jerkoff a second time immediately, with all certainty will NOT shoot a similar amount. It will be much less. Why? Because due to their own chemistry going on, their bodies ejaculated almost everything during the first ejaculation.

Needless to say during foreplay with a girl, the body keeps producing even more fluids and building up to the act. So this increases even more the ejaculation amount.

In the current progress of my own research, I am trying to find components that can allow to replicate this scenario/chemistry in a controlled conscious way by biochemically altering the system temporarily for that purpose. 2 of the components already researched and proven, Bremelanotide and Oxytocin.

You definitely did some research. I honestly never really thought about it that much. I figured everything was archetypal in that regard. I know my loads with my wife, because she prefers them “on her”, instead of “in her”. Aside her own desires for that, it keeps her hygienic and whatnot, can’t blame her, and appreciate it myself for obvious reasons.

Although, on the jerking off aspect. My masturbated loads are substantially less, than when I’m with her. 3-4 ropes if I’m really turned on. I don’t use porn. Haven’t in years. I knew the drop was stimuli related, but never connected it to the brain, adrenals, or hormones. I figured it is what it is.

Load reduction after multiple orgasms with her, I always assumed it to be fatigue and exhaustion. I have no problem staying hard, but after 3 or 4, my contractions are notably reduced. Like it’s wore out. Seems I’d have the same load every time then, if my muscles down there weren’t shot themselves.

I’ll have to pay more attention to that, I guess. It’s got me curious.
