Sperm Travels Faster Toward Attractive Females

Posted by samzenpus on from the like-father-like-gamete dept.

A new study has shown that even sperm can be superficial. Researchers found that males of many animal species, including humans, can adjust the speed and effectiveness of their sperm by regulating the amount of seminal fluid they produce during copulation. The determining factor on that amount of fluid seems to be whether the male finds the female attractive.

  3. The more important subtext of this study by raddan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    is that men will have sex with women that they don't find attractive.

    Of course, this fact may only be surprising to you if you are not a man.
