man would love to have millions of perfect little guys,
the fact is that many of them are deformed. We're
talking two heads, two tails, squiggly tails, heads
that are too large or two small, etc.
2. Sperm are hard workers: Well, not all of
them. But of the ones that can swim straight enough
to get to the egg, one lucky bugger (though
sometimes more than one. Can you say multiples?)
drills its way into the egg to begin fertilization.
3. There is a difference between "sperm" and
"semen": Many people use both terms
interchangeably, but they are not the same
substance. Sperm cells are just one part of the semen.
Seminal fluid also contains fructose and proteolytic,
among other enzymes, to help the sperm on they
way.
4. The odds are tough: In the average ejaculate,
there 200 million sperm. That's some steep
competition!
5. Sperm don't have to be moving to fertilize
an egg: That's both true and not true. For natural
fertilization to occur, the sperm has to be able to
swim and drill into the egg, but during In-Vitro
fertilization, the sperm is injected directly into the
egg, making motion on the sperm's part a nonissue.
6. They don't always know where they're
going: Only about half of the sperm who are
ejaculated make it to the egg. The rest doodle around
in circles.
7. You need to keep your boys cool: For healthy
sperm to exist in a man's body, the testicles need to
be cooler than the body. On average, testicles are
seven degrees cooler than the rest of the body. You
don't want the testicles to be any closer to the
warmth than necessary. That's why boxers are better
than briefs when it comes to making babies!
8. The production process is different in men
and women: Ladies are born with all the eggs they
will ever have in their life. But men are constantly
making new sperm. It takes about two months for a
sperm cell to go from start to finish.
9. Diet plays a big role in the taste of semen:
Gentlemen, if you are partial to oral sex, do both of
you a favor by exercising regularly and maintaining a
diet high in fruits and veggies. It benefits you in that
you will have healthier sperm, and it benefits your
partner in that your semen tastes better. A diet high
in red meat, dairy, garlic and coffee will make the
taste of your semen take a nosedive.
10. They come in both genders: Yes, there are
male and female sperm. The males tend to be faster,
but the females are stronger, so it's kind of a
stalemate in the sperm gender war.
