I want to understand if during a single sex session of trying to conceive, if frequent stimulation without ejaculation (edging) causes any harm to sperm functions once eventually ejaculated?
Logic behind this is that semen becomes very watery and many doctors have linked watery semen to be seen as less fertile.
But normal ejaculation with slight stimulation leads to me to have the normal thick white consistency.
Please let me know as my wife is in her fertile window. 🙂
Note: I never really had a proper education which leads me to not knowing sex ed stuff when I was younger. And I come from a country where they don’t really teach you this stuff.

No. The thin semen you’re experiencing from edging is difference than the pathologically thin semen that doctors are concerned about. For the former, you just have extra fluid added from your prostate because it happened in anticipation of ejaculating more than once. When someone has watery semen with normal ejaculation it can indicate a problem with the way the semen is being formed.
Not an expert, but as a fellow husband going through fertility tests I have some insight.
Had to give 2 samples a few months apart.
First sample: wife edged me 20 or so times over 5 days before sample given. Very good numbers.
Second sample: no edging, very good numbers, same morphology.
Please don’t ask for medical advice on the internet….
If you think your sperm isn’t as it should be consult a doctor, not internet strangers.
Okay. If you are trying to conceive then you should not be edging. You should be leaving your dick alone for three days. During these three days your body will begin to produce and store sperm. This sperm will increase to around it’s maximum number after three days. This is why sperm donors are advised to avoid sexual contact for several days before visiting the clinic.
Now, after those three days your body will begin to cannibalise the older sperm and to use it produce more newer and viable sperm. So your body knows that the best sperm is no older than three days.
So, in essence, you should abstain for at least three days before you try to conceive. That first (literal) load of sperm will be the best weapon you can use for getting your wife pregnant as it would be the most potent.
Regardless, if you have any issues or questions to ask on this subject it’s probably best that you both consult with a professional.
