Sperm Facts-Some of this stuff will surprise you

[Zoltri]

According to the Re/Search Guide to Bodily Fluids, the average man produces about 3.5 mL of semen per ejaculation whose nutritional value is:
less than 1 calorie
150 mg. protien
11 mg. carbohydrates
6 mg. fat.
3 mg. cholesterol
7% US RDA potassium
3% US RDA copper
3% US RDA zinc
300 million spermatoza


It looks healthy enough per serving size, but when compared to breast milk (which has about 170 calories per cup), semen has about 40% more calories (about 230 calories per cup). High levels of fructose (fruit sugar!) is normal in the semen and this sugar comes almost entirely from the seminal vesicles.

actually its like 100-350 million. If you have more than that it becomes a problem (this is directly from my friend, who works at a fertility clinic)

I actually had my sperm count taken, and got to look at the little guys under the microscope, it was a pretty cool experience.

So you're saying I should stop feeding my sperm to babies?

With all that sperm gargling around in your mouth, you have some difficulty reading, don't you...

"Health" has little to do with the comparison between breast milk and sperm, though I guess that was you being "funny." So this one is for you: "lol."

And what, pray tell, does "serving size" have to do with anything.

Again, spit, think, type. In that order.

Your two (or more?) sources are in serious disagreement:

A teaspoon is about 5 ml.

[ QUOTE ]
less than 1 calorie

[/ QUOTE ]
Even accounting for the difference in volume for the average, these numbers are not consistent.

[/ QUOTE ]

7200 teaspoons = 37.5 quarts (192 teaspoons/quart) Even if we accept the 3.5 ml figure for volume, 18 quarts is too low if we accept the 7200 ejaculations/lifetime, which seem low to me. I'm sure I have exceeded that and I'm 49. I'm sure I have averaged at least 1 per day since age 14, which would put me at over 12,000. I am slowing down a bit, but I hope I'm not going to stop entirely any time soon.

I don't think so. When I was younger, mine used to squirt pretty good (it just sort of oozes out now), but at 28 miles per hour, it would be going clear across the room. This did happen to me once or twice, but it certainly wasn't the norm.

Do healthier men have more nutritious sperm?


I am straight.

None of that surprises me. I did not know most...okay any of it. But it does not surprise me.
