Do Nerds Have Better Sperm?
mcgrew writes "The question of how we loveless nerds managed to not be bred out of the species genome may have been answered. According to New Scientist, we have better sperm. According to the article, men who scored high on a battery of intelligence tests boasted high counts of healthy sperm, while low scorers tended to have fewer and more sickly little guys. ... Though the connections between brains and sperm were 'not awesome, they're there and highly significant.' All things held equal, good sperm and good brains go together." Don't start gloating yet. Another recent study found that the gene that makes you good at Halo also makes you a premature ejaculator. A study of 200 Dutch men found that those with a premature ejaculation problem all had a version of a gene that controls the release of serotonin. These men seem to "have very quick reflexes. They may be excellent at playing tennis or computer games." Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.
Dude, take off the cock-ring. That'll help the counts, and motility. I know it might leave you flaccid, looking at your fat overweight wife, but hey, it'll get 'er knocked up.
I propose a taste test.
I will provide the materials... but I will need several female volunteers between the ages of 18 and 25.
Natural selection was dealt its deathblow by welfare, not by farming. We live in a society where nobody is allowed to fail and everybody is allowed to reproduce, no matter how stupid or lazy they are. So you get more and more lazy stupid people with each generation. How the hell do you think Obama plans on being elected? Certainly not by people who can think!
