8 Things You Don't Know About Sperm. by typicaldayo(m): 10:20pm On Dec 15, 2015
last time we discussed about scrotum, today permit me to discuss with you, facts u may not know about the male reproductive sex cells (sperm)

1) •Sperm Factory
Although there’s a large turnover of sperm, the
latest studies suggest that sperm takes more
than two whole months to form.

2) •Mister Acrosome, Tear Down This Wall!
Sperm wears a helmet that allows it to fertilize
the egg. The helmet is called an acrosome.
When the sperm hits the egg the acrosome
releases chemicals that melt the surface of the
egg so that the sperm can enter.

3) •One Testicle is A-OK
If someone is born without a testicle, or there is
an accident, that person can still conceive. In
fact, the other testicle usually grows in order to
compensate. Lance Armstrong has had two
naturally conceived children since he lost a
testicle to cancer.

4) •Father-to-Son
The Y chromosome is the chromosome that
makes a male a male. Every other chromosome
in the body is a combination of your mother’s
genes and father’s genes, but the Y chromosome
cannot be mixed. So a male’s Y chromosome is
identical his father’s Y chromosome, and his
father’s Y chromosome, and so on.

5) Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
Women are born with all the eggs they will
ever have and usually in their middle age
they’re done being fertile. Men, on the other
hand, are always producing sperm. Of course,
the quality of the sperm does degenerate a bit
with age.

6) •The Sperm is Just the Vehicle
We often think we’re a sperm/egg combination
that grew. But the sperm is irrelevant.
Researchers kill the sperm when creating test-
tube babies and then they inject the dead
sperm into the egg. The DNA inside the sperm
is the only thing the egg needs.

7) •The Entire Population of Brazil
Each ejaculation is only about half of a
teaspoon. Not much, right? Actually, there are
200 million sperm in each ejaculation and all
of them are competing to fertilize the egg.
That’s two-thirds of the population of the
United States!

cool Sperm is different from semen.
The primary difference between sperm
and semen is that sperm are the actual sex
cells, whereas semen is the fluid in which the
sperm are located. Both of these are necessary
for the successful reproduction of human
beings.

so since their are over 200 million of sperm struggling to fertilize one egg...

that means our life here is one hell of a gamble....

yet some peeps will be swimming in fantasy on how they will be enjoying eternal life after death.. when they even don't know that they living this life is at the expense of 199.99million others....

200 million sperm cells per cum??

Wow, henceforth I will treat my sperm with much respect, no more cumming anyhow.

Imagine the sperm cells talking while a guy I jerking off

"brothers can u feel the sensation? Can you feel it?? our day of the great race is around some seconds away! put on your helmet guys"

Imagine how disappointed the sperm cells will be 200 million people disappointed like that..
