In the below video from the Institute of Human Anatomy, "lead dissector" Jonathan Bennion "discusses sperm production, storage, as well as a common question he gets from students: What happens to sperm cells if they are not not released? He also explores whether frequent release holds any health benefits, and discusses if there is a connection between consistent ejaculation and risk of prostate cancer."
TLDW: One study showed that high frequency of ejaculation (21+ times/month) correlated with a 20% reduction in prostate cancer risk compared to lower frequency of ejaculation (4-7 times/month).
