Yes, a man can feel satisfied without ejaculating because orgasm and ejaculation are separate processes, and some men can even train to have orgasms without ejaculation, experiencing intense pleasure, sometimes called a "dry orgasm," with potential satisfaction, though frequent dry orgasms can signal underlying issues like nerve damage or hormonal problems, requiring medical consultation if it causes distress or is unintentional.
Like all cells, sperm that are not ejaculated will naturally die within the body, (usually when cells die naturally, they can digest themselves from the inside using lysosomes and what have you) and the organic material left over will be recycled through out the body.
It's called a ``dry orgasm'', and yes. Some men do it, either due to a medical condition or through intentional action, like inducing a retrograde ejaculation.
After 7 days of not ejaculating, sperm that isn't released is naturally reabsorbed by the body or expelled via nocturnal emission ("wet dreams"), with no significant health risks, though some anecdotal claims of benefits (energy, focus) lack strong scientific backing, while prolonged retention (beyond a week) might slightly decrease sperm quality for fertility analysis but isn't harmful for general health, though extended periods of arousal without release might cause temporary testicular discomfort ("blue balls").
Women's pleasure is highly individual but often centers on the clitoris, with many enjoying diverse stimulation like pressure, vibration, and different patterns, alongside emotional connection, kissing, and exploring other sensitive areas like inner thighs, ears, and nipples, with communication being key for shared satisfaction. Techniques like "Angling" during intercourse are scientifically shown to increase pleasure for many, emphasizing a holistic approach beyond just penetration.
A woman can orgasm multiple times in a row, with some studies suggesting many women can have several or even dozens, as female bodies often lack a significant refractory period like men; however, limits depend on individual factors, stimulation, physical stamina, and hormonal responses, with some reporting dozens while others find several are enough before needing a break for sensitivity or fatigue.
Can I Avoid Getting Erections? You can't really control erections, so there's not much you can do to avoid getting them. Sometimes erections can happen when you least expect them or you really don't want one. If you're around other people, try thinking about something else.
It takes about 56–72 days to build up a full load of sperm. Sperm are produced continuously and develop in the testes. They then mature in the epididymis, which may take up to 10 to 14 days. Factors like age, hormones, and ejaculation frequency can affect recovery time.
Here's the straight answer: For most men, there are no serious side effects to masturbating daily. It's a normal, healthy thing that won't harm your body or fertility in any big way.
In human sexuality, the refractory period is usually the recovery phase after orgasm during which it is physiologically impossible for males to have additional orgasms.
Bottom line. The good news is that there's no “right” answer when it comes to the question of how often a man should ejaculate. While ejaculation has some health benefits (and can feel damn good!), there's generally no real reason to worry about how frequently you're ejaculating.
There are no real health risks associated with not masturbating, though some people may find it challenging and frustrating, triggering moodiness or irritation. In some cases, it may also cause epididymal hypertension.
Edging isn't harmful. It's possible that it could cause epididymal hypertension, commonly know as "blue balls." This happens when blood builds up in the testes due to a long period of being aroused without ejaculating. But it's not a harmful condition and will pass on its own.
While many modern practitioners believe that semen retention leads to a number of health benefits, there is very little scientific evidence to confirm the veracity of these claims. That being said, intentional abstinence from ejaculation doesn't seem to cause any health problems either.
While research shows that sexual function often declines as men age, there is no specific age at which all men will no longer be able to ejaculate. That's because no longer being able to ejaculate is not a natural part of getting older.
According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, younger men may only need a few minutes to recover after sex, while for older guys, it may take as long as 12 to 24 hours.

Most medical professionals say that while edging might slightly increase the volume of semen during a single session, it isn't considered a clinically proven method to significantly boost sperm count for fertility purposes.
It takes 3.6 inches from the root of the penis to the tip of the glans to hit the 50th percentile for flaccid length. That means 68 percent of men measure between 3 and 4.2 inches, and 95 percent are in the 2.4- to 4.8-inch range.
The tunica albuginea (a membrane surrounding the corpora cavernosa), helps to trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, so you stay hard.
In summary, the structures above are responsible for the three types of erection: psychogenic, reflexogenic and nocturnal.

Note that the question itself is also somewhat misleading, as both women and men may or may not have uncomfortable refractory periods wherein they can't continue sex after orgasm; the timing of this refractory period is specific to the individual, i.e. some men have almost no recovery time or can achieve multiple ...
Modern studies estimate the phenomenon is experienced in some form by anywhere from 10-54% of women and, according to a 2013 study of 320 participants, the amount of ejaculate released can range from approximately 0.3ml to more than 150ml. That's anything from a few drops to half a cup.
