Spermatotoxicosis is poisoning of the body by the remains of dead sperm that has outlived its life and has not been removed.
The sperm has a limited lifespan.
A sperm that has outlived its time begins to decompose and poison the body with its decomposition products, creating a source of inflammation. The body has to mobilize the immune system to suppress the source of inflammation and remove decomposition products.
As you know, the liver and kidneys are responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. It is also well known that in the case when the liver and kidneys are no longer able to cope with the removal of dirt, this function is partially taken over by the human skin.
This is where rashes, pimples and ulcers on the skin begin, which is nothing more than an indicator that the body is oversaturated with dirt, and the liver and kidneys cannot cope with their removal and dirt begins to seep through the human skin.
The body, oversaturated with dead sperm, gives the central nervous system a signal that it is time to get rid of the sources of internal intoxication and remove them outside.
The brain interprets this signal and creates in a person the need to ejaculate.
An unsatisfied need transforms from a physiological problem into a mental problem.

Some facts:

During every minute, a man's body produces 50,000 sperm.
During every hour, his testicles produce 3,000,000 sperm.
During each day - 72,000,000 sperm.
Sperm make up on average only 3% of the ejaculate. The remaining 97% is the secretion of the prostate gland and the fluid of the seminal vesicles. In the first portion of ejaculate, the sperm content is higher than in subsequent ones, and especially in the last.
The ejaculate contains approximately 300 to 500 million sperm.
In the average volume of ejaculate, provided that orgasm occurs with 3-day breaks, the number of sperm is from 2 to 6 ml.
Spermotoxicosis: myth or reality?
Spermotoxicosis (from the Greek σπερμα - seed, Greek τοξικός - poisonous), probably everyone has heard this word at least once and considered it a joke, but is it a joke, and what actually happens during long-term abstinence in a man’s body? To understand this issue, you will have to touch on the basics of anatomy and physiology.

Diagram of the structure of a mammalian spermatozoon: 1 - head; 2 - neck; 3 - intermediate section; 4 - flagellum (tail); 5 - acrosome; 6 - head cap; 7 - core; 8 and 9 - proximal and distal centrioles; 10 - mitochondrial helix; 11 - axial thread

On the “nose” of the sperm there is an acrosome - a spear-shaped or cup-shaped organelle located at the top of its head, the acrosome is designed to make a passage through the jelly coat of the egg and reach the vitelline layer. This is not an easy task, but for this purpose the acrosome contains powerful hydrolytic enzymes and specific proteins that ensure binding of the tip of the process to the vitelline layer of the egg and easy penetration into the egg.
The parenchyma of the male testicle is formed by a combination of convoluted, straight seminiferous tubules and network tubules. The number of lobules in one testicle is approximately 200, each lobule contains 1–4 convoluted seminiferous tubules up to 80 cm long; at the apex of the lobule, the convoluted seminiferous tubules become straight, which, merging, form the testicular network.

The tubule contains amazing Sertoli cells, which not only diffusely nourish developing germ cells, but also destroy dead and abnormal sperm. The most important function of Sertoli cells is participation in the formation of the blood-testis barrier (BTB), the barrier that protects sperm from the body's immune response. Yes, a sperm contains a haploid (half) set of chromosomes; accordingly, it is a genetically alien cell for a given organism, and the immune system destroys foreign cells, which is why, through GTB, mature and growing sperm are protected from immune blood cells.
These are some features of anatomy and physiology, but in reality, sometimes everything does not work out as the Creator intended. Nature gave a man a woman, in whose presence a man functions correctly and is healthy, and in extreme cases, nature gave us both hands and imagination. Modern science has long proven that masturbation is an ancient mechanism inherent in nature and present in almost all mammals, which is not at all harmful, but, on the contrary, useful, and moreover, it is protective in nature. What does he protect us from?

Since ancient times, the problem of sperm toxicosis has manifested itself most clearly and dramatically in closed male groups, but if in the armies of the past there were opportunities for sexual contact, both with women and between men, and masturbation was not persecuted, then in religious communities the situation was completely different otherwise.

Pope Clement VII

The first studies of spermotoxicosis (spermatotoxicosis) date back to the 16th century, when Pope Clement VII, who had just ascended the throne, signed a secret bull in which a number of trusted bishops were instructed to investigate outbreaks of madness in those monasteries where masturbation was strictly suppressed. This was a period of growing power of the Habsburgs, spies of Charles V reported that in the depths of the Roman Catholic Church there was a discussion of the possibility of approving sex in all its manifestations, including. and masturbation, both for laymen and monks. A formal reason for war was found. The army of Charles V broke into Rome and subjected the city to such devastation as it had not experienced since the invasion of the barbarians. After these sad events, the study of spermotoxicosis was tabooed by the church for many centuries.
In the second half of the 20th century, a breakthrough occurred, society changed its attitude towards both sex and masturbation, recognizing it as physiological and acceptable for people of any age, gender and social status. However, in the West, under the influence of powerful religious associations, the biological and social essence of the problem is still greatly blurred and disguised.

In the post-war USSR, which had a large army, serious problems emerged by the mid-60s of the twentieth century. The phenomenon that we know today as “hazing” flourished in the army, but hazing, in fact, turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Soviet military doctors quickly realized that hazing, as well as a statistically significant increase in mental disorders among soldiers and officers, usually not uncharacteristic for men of this age, as well as some specific social vices in the army are somehow connected with the sexual sphere. Large-scale studies were carried out, as a result of which specific drugs began to be widely used in the Soviet army, sometimes openly, but more often secretly. Bromine, known for its sedative effects, is often mentioned in army folklore, although it is obvious that no one wants a calm and sleepy soldier. In fact, a glycerol derivative was used, namely alpha-chlorohydrin, which has the property of blocking a number of sperm enzymes while they are in the epididymis, and also causes changes in the epithelium of the testicle.
The drug was prescribed at a dose of 30–90 mg/kg body weight per day, and usually soldiers and officers received it with portioned hot food, dry rations or compote. The effect of alpha-chlorohydrin is to reduce the motor activity of sperm up to their complete immobility. This drug turned out to be quite toxic, which, however, did not limit its use until the 90s. By the way, similar methods were and are still used in the Chinese army, but Chinese military doctors, instead of expensive alpha-chlorohydrin, use the traditional medicine plant Tripterygium Wilfordii, the extract and decoction of this plant has a pronounced spermotoxic effect at the level of the epididymis.

What happens in the body during prolonged abstinence? Recently declassified works of domestic histologists and physiologists (in the USSR, this problem was dealt with by the hotel laboratory N42 of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems, which was founded in 1963), as well as the works of German doctors leaked to the Internet during the Second World War, gave a complete scientific understanding of these processes .

Specialist of laboratory N42, Institute of Biomedical Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences: study of acrosomal proteolytic activity of enzymes in vitro

As we already know, the seminiferous tubules contain a huge number of sperm, a healthy active sperm throughout its life, strives to move and by all means reach the goal - the egg, but it turns out that when there is no way out for a long time, and generation after generation of sperm have to die in the seminiferous tubules, having not completed their mission, then a restructuring begins in their anatomy and physiology. First of all, the acrosome undergoes restructuring; the concentration and activity of enzymes in it increases, which at a critical moment makes it possible to melt the epithelium of the testicular tubule and, having broken through the GTB, penetrate into the blood. In the bloodstream, the sperm is immediately attacked by immune cells and it dies, but through the gap formed, millions and millions of other sperm penetrate into the capillaries, and the immune system is no longer able to cope with them. However, the spermatoemia phase is short-lived; to escape the immune response, sperm rush to where it is safe, where there are no ordinary immune cells - to the brain. Brain tissue is fenced off, like the spermatic cords, by a barrier (BBB), through which blood cells and large immune molecules - antibodies - cannot penetrate. To cross the BBB, molecules must either be small (like oxygen molecules) or be able to dissolve in the lipid components of glial cell membranes (like ethanol). In addition, some substances can be transported across the blood-brain barrier by active transport; but for spermatozoa with a hyperactive acrosome that have broken through the blood-testis barrier, the BBB no longer becomes an obstacle.

The sperm destroys the BBB (blood-brain barrier)

Having penetrated into the brain tissue, sperm inevitably damage them, either actively or after their death, when the proteolytic enzymes of the acrosome flow into the intercellular space and damage the membranes of neurons and glial cells - these are the mechanisms of the toxic effect of sperm on brain tissue.

Spermatotoxic effects on the central nervous system are varied: when subcortical structures are damaged, aggression, a feeling of insatiable hunger, increased motor activity, sometimes turning into motor agitation, are manifested, which leads to fights, and in the best case, to excessive exercise. Spermotoxic damage to the hypothalamic-pituitary region is characterized by endocrine disorders - metabolism increases, the man loses weight, and a specific acne appears on the skin. With prolonged exposure to the generative agent, the structures that are in a hyperfunctional state are depleted and degenerate: the man becomes fat, the skin becomes smooth and shiny, acquiring a characteristic red color. The most dangerous thing is the long-term sperm toxic effect on the cerebral cortex: intelligence drops significantly, judgment and such manifestations of higher functions as humor become primitive and flattened, emotional coarsening occurs, men become deceitful and prone to theft. It is impossible not to notice that all these symptoms are often observed in military personnel, as well as in monks, i.e. in those population groups that are most susceptible to spermotoxicosis.

According to leading biologists and doctors, modern society must reject the prejudices of the past and radically solve this medical and social problem. Particular attention should be paid to the sexual education of schoolchildren, teaching them the basics of masturbation and rational sex within the framework of the life safety program (NVP), it is necessary to immediately make changes to legislation, adopting the progressive experience of the most combat-ready armies in the world (Israel, USA), recruiting a sufficient number of people into the army female. Already today, active preventive and educational work can quickly lead to normalization of the level of masturbation in groups and a radical reduction in the level of those suffering from spermotoxicosis.

In medical terminology, there is no such term as spermotoxicosis. This definition was given to the state of a man’s prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse, in which increased arousal is observed.

Let's look at what sperm toxicosis is in our article? How does this condition manifest itself, and why is it dangerous?

Intimate relationships between a man and a woman are an important part of life.

Not long ago, the works of Soviet scientists, physiologists and histologists, who studied the problem of spermotoxicosis, were received. The information obtained allows us to make a statement that sperm toxicosis is a very real pathological condition, which is accompanied by a number of characteristic symptoms.

In simple terms, this condition is characterized by a lack of sexual activity in a man. Dissatisfaction with carnal desires leads to constant bouts of irritability and nervousness.

Interesting fact. The first occurrences of spermotoxicosis were mentioned in the development of the problem during the time of Pope Clement VII. Having ascended the throne, he issued a secret order to trusted bishops to investigate the causes of madness in monasteries, where, for religious reasons, masturbation was suppressed and was strictly punished.

Why is long-term abstinence harmful?

Despite the fact that many scientists have proven that sperm toxicosis is a disease that needs to be eliminated, there are different thoughts on this matter. For example, there is one proven fact that sperm is produced within 90 days, after which, if a man has not had sexual intercourse during this period, it is destroyed in the synthesis zone (testicles), or is excreted in an inactivated state during urination. But this is absolutely not true.

It is known that sperm strive to reunite with the egg. Not finding a way out, they begin to reconstruct anatomically and physically.

As a result, the concentration of an activating substance in the head increases, which dissolves the walls of the testicular canal where these sperm are contained. As a result, there is an exit into the circulatory system, where the first batch dies under the influence of cells of the immune system, but the remaining millions quietly penetrate into the blood.

But we note that these attacks do not last long, since the sperm tend to the brain, where the cells of the immune system will not overtake them. This is how the first symptoms of sperm toxicosis appear.

The first laboratory studies during the time of Pope Clement VII showed that the resulting ejaculation significantly releases hormones into the bloodstream.

  • prolactin;
  • oxytacin;
  • the neurotransmitter dopamine (known as the “pleasure hormone”).

As a result of hormonal release, the following improvements appear in the body:

  • elevated mood;
  • psycho-emotional relaxation;
  • getting rid of depression;
  • reduction of irritability and aggression.

Stages

There are three stages of the pathological condition:

  1. Easy.
  2. Average.
  3. Heavy.

Table. Stages of spermotoxicosis:

Stage Description
Easy stage It can appear periodically in any man after 1-2 weeks of sexual abstinence. For some males, these periods may be shortened or increased, depending on individual gender characteristics. With this form, no pronounced symptoms of agitation are observed, but the desire for intimacy with a partner increases significantly.
Middle stage The middle stage occurs with prolonged abstinence after the specified period in the first stage. This condition is characterized by the manifestation of certain symptoms:
  • irritability;
  • nervousness;
  • depression.
Severe stage Long-term abstinence from sexual intercourse. It is characterized by a pronounced manifestation of symptoms of irritability, nervousness and depression. In this case, disorders of the central nervous system are possible, and there is also a risk of decreased sexual function.

Impact on the male body, consequences

According to experts, sex is important not only for men, but also for women. Regular intimate life should accompany a person throughout his life, as this is primarily an important factor in good health.

Effect on the central nervous system

The toxic effect of sperm on the central nervous system is manifested by the following signs:

  • motor agitation;
  • attacks of aggression;
  • depression;
  • motor activity.

Spermotoxicosis can affect the hypothalamic-pituitary zone of the brain, which is accompanied by dysfunction of the endocrine system.

Effect on the activity of the cerebral cortex

In this case, prolonged abstinence can lead to the following symptoms:

  • significant decrease in intelligence;
  • misunderstanding of humor on the part of others;
  • active manifestation of rudeness.

As a rule, monks, military personnel and prisoners who constantly have to be in a closed male society suffer from this complex condition.

Consequences

The consequences of spermotoxicosis are predictable, since the sexual life of any person is the key to good mood and well-being, then the consequences are of the exact opposite nature.

  • attacks of severe aggression towards others;
  • constant feeling of hunger;
  • motor activity, which leads to causeless fights or active sports;
  • loss of body weight, which subsequently acquires the opposite result - active weight gain;
  • redness and rash on the skin of the face.

Treatment

All adults know how to get rid of sperm toxicosis - this is to release sperm; any doctor will recommend treating sperm toxicosis in this way. However, in the mid-60s, Soviet scientists, after conducting large-scale research, came to the conclusion that sedatives would help with this problem. But this was not the right decision, since these medications cause drowsiness.

Therefore, it was decided that all military personnel should take a glycerol derivative - alphachlorohydrin, the action of which is aimed at blocking sperm enzymes while they are in the epididymis. The effect of alphachlorohydrin is aimed at suppressing the activity of sperm, up to their complete immobility. But at the same time, as can be seen in the photo, the drug has a hypnotic effect.

Interesting fact. Despite the fact that alphachlorohydrin was recognized as a highly toxic drug, it was used until the early 90s. And the cost of military personnel’s health did not matter at all.

Studies have shown that this method causes dysfunction in the epithelium of the testicles, so the dose of the drug was changed. As recommended by the instructions, the drug was added to the soldier’s portion at a dose of up to 90 mg per 1 kg of the soldier’s weight.

The People's Republic of China still provides treatment for sperm toxicosis in their military, but they have replaced alpha chlorohydrin with the plant Tripterygium Wilfordii. The plant extract has a spermotoxic effect.

But you shouldn’t delve into medicine, because there are ways to get rid of the “pathological condition”! The video presented in this article will allow our readers to become familiar with the concept of spermotoxicosis.

In medicine, there is no such term as spermotoxicosis. This concept was invented by people far from science, implying prolonged sexual abstinence and increased arousal.

The sperm is produced (grows) for ninety days, after which, if there is no release (sexual intercourse or the like), it will be destroyed in the synthesis zone (testicles) or, in an inactivated state, excreted singly in the urine.

Is a man at risk of intoxication?

Even if all the sperm are destroyed at the same time, the guy will not face any intoxication. Meanwhile, experts say: sex, by definition, should accompany a person throughout his life, as an effective rejuvenating agent and an important factor in maintaining health.

Sex helps you lose weight - up to 40 kilograms

Employees of the Moscow Institute of Endocrinology have proven a direct relationship between weight loss and increased sexual activity. For their study, they took a group of men. The weight of some of them reached one hundred kilograms or more. For four months, patients took medications that increased hormones to the required level for an active sex life. During this time, some of them managed to lose up to forty kilograms. This effect could not be achieved by any other means. Andrologists recommend moderate sexual activity not only for those who are obese, but also for patients with diabetes.


Studies have shown that a person begins to lose calories from the moment the desire for sexual intercourse appears. An excited person's pulse quickens, like an athlete's during a competition - up to one hundred and eighty beats per minute. According to available data, you can burn up to three hundred kilocalories in one sexual act. This is as much as a fifteen minute jog.

Sex has a very beneficial effect on a person’s general physical condition, but it would be too reckless to consider it the only means for losing weight. If you want to be in shape, you need to engage in physical education or sports.

Sex helps against hair loss and congestion

For a man, it is not so much the frequency of sexual intercourse that is important, but rather its regular nature. Long breaks can lead to decreased sexual function. For women, regular sexual intercourse will help avoid stagnation in the pelvic vessels. Sex is also needed to maintain normal hormonal levels in men and women. An imbalance of male and female hormones, which are present in both sexes, can lead to a variety of pathologies.

In medical terminology, there is no such term as spermotoxicosis. This definition was given to the state of a man’s prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse, in which increased arousal is observed.

It has long been known that long-term sexual abstinence affects a man’s behavior in a certain way. Ancient Greek doctors believed that in such a situation the body is exposed to intoxication by excess sperm. It was they who introduced the term “spermotoxicosis”, the literal translation of which is “poisonous seed” (from the Greek σπερμα - seed and τοξικός - poisonous).

Over time, scientists have established that no poisoning of the body with seminal fluid or unused eggs (if a woman is deprived of sexual contact) occurs. However, some still believe that sperm toxicosis exists. We decided to dispel misconceptions associated with the dangers of sexual abstinence.

Abstinence undermines health

In fact, there is much evidence to the contrary. It is enough that abstaining from sexual relations significantly reduces the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. For a person who has been deprived of sex for a long time, the likelihood of getting the pathogens of syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV or hepatitis B into the body is very low (in fact, he can only become infected through a blood transfusion).

However, prolonged sexual abstinence can negatively affect hormonal levels, which largely determine the state of the nervous system and human behavior. In men, this often manifests itself as excessive aggressiveness or a tendency to moralize, and in women – sudden mood swings, quarrelsomeness or depression. However, such a subtle mechanism as the endocrine system reacts to the lack of sex individually.

In addition, the behavior of people deprived of sexual contact for a long time is strongly influenced by the social factor. Men, who are usually proud of their sexual successes, are especially sensitive to failures in this area, fearing becoming objects of increased attention and even ridicule from others. A sexually dissatisfied woman suffers from low self-esteem and considers herself deprived of the attention of members of the opposite sex. All this does not have the best impact on the quality of life, but there is still no need to talk about the direct harm that sexual abstinence supposedly causes to health.

Spermotoxicosis is a common and dangerous disease

There is often an opinion that it is not so much unused germ cells that have a toxic effect on the body, but rather the products of their decay. It's a delusion. Sperm and eggs consist of the same substances as the cells of other tissues. Sex cells undergo the same process of maturation and exist for their prescribed period. Then those of them that failed to participate in the birth of a new life are destroyed. Decay products are removed from the body.

There is simple and obvious evidence that there are no pathological conditions caused by lack of sexual intercourse. Otherwise, they would certainly affect all people who are forced to go without sex for a long time (for example, military personnel or ministers of religious cults who take a lifelong vow of celibacy).

Abstinence leads to perversion

Paraphilias (socially unacceptable sexual desires) are caused by pathological abnormalities in the psyche; there is no evidence linking them to sexual abstinence. Scientists have not yet established the exact cause of such perversions as pedophilia or bestiality, but presumably it lies in negative impressions received in early childhood, and not in circumstances that contribute to sexual dissatisfaction in an adult.

Masturbation is bad for your health

In medieval Europe, masturbation was considered a serious sin. This idea was widespread, it was instilled and supported by the church. Apparently, it is on this basis that the modern misconception arose that people who have the habit of self-gratification are destroying their health.

In reality, masturbation does not harm the body. According to modern ideas, this is simply a type of sexual activity. It is worth noting that masturbation is not the preserve of exclusively lonely and sexually dissatisfied people. As a complement to regular contacts, it is also successfully practiced by happy married couples.

Early onset of sexual activity is the norm

The root of this misconception lies in the recognition of the correctness of the family structure that existed in many countries in the pre-industrial period. In those days, people tried to marry (and have sexual relations) at a very young age in order to provide families with new workers as early as possible. This practice was also dictated by factors such as short life span and high infant mortality.

For a modern person, early onset of sexual activity is not a necessity. Today there is no shame in being a virgin at 18-20 years old. On the contrary, this often indicates a variety of life goals and interests, a rich inner world and the presence of high demands on oneself and a future partner.

Abstinence helps you achieve athletic success

Sports doctors held this opinion for quite a long time, but studies have shown it to be untenable. High sporting achievements do not necessarily require sacrifices of this kind. Sex in reasonable quantities not only does not weaken a person, but also increases the overall tone of the body, improves mood and creates self-confidence. Today, no one requires athletes to abstain from sexual intercourse, including before competitions.

The human body is designed very intelligently and economically. If any of its functions is in little demand, it is provided to a lesser extent by biological material than all the others. This is exactly what happens to a man who is temporarily deprived of sexual intercourse: his body begins to reduce sperm production. The process is neither pathological nor irreversible: with normalization of sexual life, the volume of seminal fluid is restored.

Despite the fact that sperm toxicosis does not exist, some representatives of the stronger sex still believe that abstinence is harmful to their health. It is easy to verify the opposite: you need to do a spermogram, a biochemical analysis of sperm and a MAR test (to determine the number of non-working sperm). The doctor will evaluate the research results and give an opinion on the state of the reproductive system. If there are problems, you may need the help of an andrologist or urologist. In some cases, a consultation with a psychologist will not be superfluous: normalizing sexual life is a complex process, and problems associated with it can sometimes only be solved through the joint efforts of several specialists with the active assistance of the patient himself.
