Hi everyone,
My husband would not be happy if I was sharing this but I just want to help him out and don't know where to turn. I am recently married and we want to try for children. He has no problem getting an erection or keeping it. The concern is that he doesn't ejaculate everytime we have sex. I've never heard of a man not able to cum but he doesn't everytime. We are both fine with it but it might make it difficult to conceive. Anyone heard of this or have suggestions??

Actually, this is much more common than you may realize. But I really wouldn't worry too much about conceiving though. It only takes one sperm to do the job and even if he doesn't ejaculate EVERY time, it shouldn't prevent you from conceiving.

And if worse came to worse, his semen could be stored for future fertilization.

I agree with Katmandoo...this isn't all that unusual. And I also agree that for most couples, as long as he does it sometimes, you shouldn't have a problem getting pregnant.

Also, since we're not doctors, if it happens on a regular basis, then he should talk to a doctor about it......in case there's some kind of problem going on. He should definitely do that before you two try to get pregnant. An Urologist is who he should see.....they specialize in things like this. He will probably get a clean bill of health, but on the off chance that there's some kind of blockage, it should be investigated.
