FAO Kraig (here are the fun sperm facts you asked me to find)
According to the Re/Search Guide to Bodily Fluids (Paul Spinard, 1994), 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 For the "average" man, the ejaculate contains over 80 million sperm. In addition to the little wiggly things, semen contains (taken from several web sites): water ascorbic acid (vitamin C) blood-group antigens calcium (yes, just like milk!) chlorine (add your own little contribution to cleanliness!) cholesterol (Is this the "bad cholesterol" or "good cholesterol"?) citric acid, creatine, deoxyribonucleic acid, fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (what do you know, these are good for fertilization too!) prostaglandins (fatty acids that, while not a hormone, perform hormone-like functions) purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid sodium (good to have, especially if you've been sweating a lot) sorbitol, spermidine, spermine vitamin B12 and zinc (you would think it's a multivitamin) Random Sperm Facts Average volume of semen per ejaculation: 1-2 teaspoons Average number of times a man will ejaculate in his lifetime: 7,200 Average total amount of lifetime ejaculate: 18 quarts Average speed of ejaculation: 28 miles per hour Its muscle drives nature's only known rotary-joint. The tail SCREWS, not whips. (no pun) Average number of calories in a teaspoon of semen: 7 Average duration of orgasm: 4 seconds Average number of sperm cells in the ejaculate of a healthy man: 200 to 600 million Distance sperm travels to fertilize an egg: 3-4 inches Sperm lifespan: 2.5 months from development to ejaculation |
