Men accumulate ~90,000 sperm per minute, or 129,600,000 sperm cells per day. This is about 3.307x decent semen count ejaculations which is about 39 million sperm per ejaculation ( average ejaculation being 2-4mL). You can thus assume that a man can store around 90 days worth of sperm.

There are probably strategies around reabsorbing 40-50% of the sperm, mainly saving and constant spending. 100k/ 200m sperm cells released at the cervix makes it to the uterus (0.05%), which makes even larger sperm counts still beneficial in mating. Also, constant mating for low sperm counts is the second strategy that may work.
Sperm is stored in the Epididymis then spends 30-70 days (60-70 days being ideal) aging before either being used to fertilize a woman or gets recycled. As no system is perfectly efficient, there should be some system to get the man to spend his sperm cells before it gets massively wasted. So, if one managed to empty the Epididymis, you would expect that at around day 70 or above, there would be extreme desire to ejaculate or maybe self-damage from the extreme recycling.
Without mates, masturbation or escorts would be the only way to avoid pain at around the 70 day mark. But, masturbation is already not as satisfying as sex, and why would the brain reward a man for masturbating, sperm counts may likely be lower. Thus, it only makes sense that men are doomed to seek females even if they can temporarily stop themselves.
The main purpose of semen retention is not to better oneself, but to save up sperm to mate with a female if the opportunity arises. Thus, a man likely can save semen for up to 80 days max if he emptied everything out, before he starts to mate with a female. Then, he must empty his sperm count massively as he mates with the woman. Assuming high semen counts, he could get rid of 427 million sperm in one go, which is enough for about 3.2 days worth before needing to mate again. So, he at the very minimum must ejaculate once every 3.2 days with a female after he is fully loaded. This is even shorter if he doesn't have a huge load of sperm per ejaculation. So, he is sort of stuck with her afterwards until he finally empties his load again in which he can store another 80 days worth of semen.
If he is getting more average sperm counts, this number drops to 1.6.
Assuming a 30% recycling rate, this is mating once every 2 days bare minimum.
Men are forced to ejaculate once every 2 days or go empty to stockpile days. But, let's assume that you are not getting maximum physical and mental stimulation, then you could have a very low sperm count per ejaculation, which could easily make you only ejaculate about 39-50 million sperm per time. Which means you would be forced to ejaculate every day twice assuming 30% recycling rate.

How much semen does it take to get pregnant? - Give Legacy
Any successful pregnancy starts with two key ingredients: a sperm and an egg. Fertility problems can originate with either the mother's egg or the father's sperm meaning both components need to be healthy in order to have a successful pregnancy. Sperm is released in the semen when a man...
