eli5 If a man were to hold off his sperm for years, have sex and then have sex again the next day, would the old sperm reach the egg before the new sperm would?

Question

Is the old sperm less healthy than the new sperm? Will it produce children with deformities? How does this whole old new sperm science work?

Answer 1

Sperm dies off and gets removed and replaced every couple of months. All sperm is “new” sperm. Abnormalities can occur with age, I’m not sure what age it is though.
