Interesting Facts About Sperm

Mind boggling thought.How many of these little beggars have i swallowed!!!!!!!!!!!



Sperm are produced in the testes, where it takes approximately 10 weeks for a single soldier to reach maturity (Only ten weeks to train one of the boys.Maybe that's why men are immature.Just joking boys)

Matured sperm is stored in the epididymis - the coil like structure that runs across the top of each testicle.
Sperm can remain in the epididymis for about a fortnight before being delivered up as ejaculate, or broken down and reabsorbed by the body.
Semen doesn't just contain sperm, but fluids secreted by several glands during ejaculation. (Just what fluid's are those!!!!!)

During sexual arousal, and close to the point of climax, semen travels from the epididymis through a tube called the vas deferens. Here, it picks up a fluid rich in fructose - a sugary substance that acts a bit like rocket fuel. (sugar for energy and taste i'm thinking)

Other fluids kick in along the way to the urethra (the tube that runs the length of the penis). This comes from the prostate gland, the Cowper's glands and the seminal vesicles. Some secretions are designed to neutralise acids (such as urine traces in the urethra), others provide vital enzymes). (I'm thinking now do i really want these secretion's in my mouth)

The finished product contains approximately just 10% sperm. The rest consists of enzymes, vitamin C, calcium, protein, sodium, zinc, citric acid and fructose sugar.(Lot's of goodness in there maybe i do want a mouthful of it)

There is no need to have sex or masturbate to ejaculation for health reasons. The body can happily cope with unused sperm, with no impact on fertility or sex drive.
Every day, a healthy adult male can produce around 70 to 150 million sperm, while an average teaspoon-sized 'serving' contains between 200 and 500 million of the lil' wrigglers. (there you go boys scientific proof you don't need to play with everyday)

Semen consistency varies from day to day, but can become thick or lumpy if you've been unwell or feeling a bit peaky. It has no impact on fertility though.(well personally i don't like thick and lumpy sounds like porridge)
