Spermatozoa, also known as sperm, are male reproductive cells which fertilizes the ovum, the female reproductive cell during sexual intercourse. Once the female eggs are fertilized, pregnancy would occur. There are some interesting facts about the sperm which you should know, some of them are:
- The substance ejaculated from the penis when a man is aroused is commonly called “sperm”. In the actual sense, this substance is semen and only about five percent of the semen is sperm.
- The semen contains citric acid, zinc, calcium, protein, vitamin C, amino acids, fructose and sodium.
- The food a man eats affects the taste of his semen. A man who eats unhealthy foods, smokes and consumes alcohol is likely to have his semen highly acidic and bitter to the taste. On the other hand, a man who eats healthy foods would have his semen taste better and less acidic.
- Unused sperm does not hurt a man; it does not create any form of pain, affect the sex drive or affect his fertility. Millions of sperm are produced by a man daily and if a man does not release them either through sexual intercourse or masturbation, the unused sperm are reabsorbed by the body.
- Although millions of sperm cells are contained in the semen, the semen, when ejaculated is only about a teaspoon.
- Keeping the testicles cool would help maintain the quality of sperm. Wearing tight under wears and clothes, hot baths, exposing the testicles to heat, smoking weed and too much coffee would affect the quality of the sperm which would in turn affect fertility.
