Not sure about the ejaculation point. Especially with zinc, the amounts released from ejaculation are far less than the rda and the same is also true with the other trace minerals present in semen. Even if we account for multiple ejaculations per day, diet contributes much more to any possible mineral imbalances than ejaculation could. You really can't out ejaculate even just a single day worth of zinc rda food intake. At ~3% of the rda per ejaculation that's ~33 ejaculations.

It's about the overall system. If the man has a full sack, his body won't be utilizing its top-notch resources to replenish itself, making sure it is always at-the-ready. Once restocked, the resources devoted to that unique assembly line can be applied to repair and enhance operations.

Having to arm that legion of competitive swimmers is an energetic undertaking of no small measure and no small importance -- quite the opposite, actually. That is why fasting and exercise are effective ways to tamp down one's sexual impulses. Well, avoiding stimulation (visual and otherwise) can also help tame our more primal energies.

Regardless, semen retention is a way for a man to keep his body burning less quickly through our molecular environment, both internally and externally. The old Taoist texts (IIRC) teach 60 or 80 drops of blood are required to produce a drop of semen, and some significant amount of food to create a drop of blood. Stem the loss and the pipeline backs up, in a good way, so long as the man doesn't become an unbearable ahole, but that's related to self-control via self-evolution of the ego combined with the amount of stimulation they must/choose-to endure.

From what I can tell there's no evidence that the testicles produce any faster when emptied compared to full. Is that a thing?
