The Scoop on Swimmers: 7 Fun Facts About Sperm

Written by: Joshua Gonzalez

Fun Facts About Sperm

Semen vs. Sperm

Kicking off the list is our first fun fact about sperm. Not quite as iconic as King Kong versus Godzilla but a close second. Many people don’t know the difference between semen and sperm. Why they do work in tandem, like Simon and Garfunkel, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Snoopy and Woodstock, semen and sperm are, in fact, two different things. Semen is the fluid used to carry sperm to their destination. Some could say it is a chicken or the egg scenario.

Low-Calorie Cream

For those among us who think spitters are quitters, we have good news. There are only about 5-10 calories per serving of sperm. And trust us, if you are with someone who is taking Popstar, you’ll love every last drop. Popstar’s formula takes your spunk from putrid to piña colada.

Pre-Cum Counts

Turns out there aren’t any swimmers in the shallow end. That’s right, pre-ejaculate rarely contains sperm. So if you aren’t trying to get pregnant, the good news is there isn’t much of a chance to get knocked up during the cumming attractions. While it isn’t a surefire thing, there may be something to the pullout method.

Love Takes Time

You know the old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Well, the same could be said for sperm. A day? Please! Try months. It takes approximately 64 days for the male body to produce sperm. But that’s not all. You have to account for travel time, and believe me the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm) is like the 405 in LA, there’s traffic. It can take anywhere from 24 to 28 days for sperm to be transported and finally ejaculated.

Just Add Water!

Just like instant Jell-O, water can affect the consistency of your semen. Since semen is mostly water, after all, hydration plays a huge role in semen volume and consistency

Swimmers or Squatters

Professional swimmers or professional squatters? Did you know that sperm that make it into the vagina can live up to five days? It’s true! Sperm remains viable for up to five days in a woman’s reproductive tract. Perhaps some sperm just take the scenic route to the egg.

Horny Antihistamine

While certain acts revolving around semen may make your eyes water, you’d never think of this one. As it would turn out, there are a very unlucky few who may get a little sniffly when it comes to semen. While they are exceedingly rare, semen allergies do exist.

Absolutely performs as advertised. I've taken Popstar for several months, and can say without a doubt that my volume has increased significantly, even earning a "Whoa! That's a lot!" from my wife. I cannot attest to the taste, but I am certainly satisfied with the volume enhancement.

I always had big cumshots, i tried popstars just to see if they can get even bigger. It took me a week to see some effect but after a week...wooow, it makes a real difference, now my loads are bigger than ever.

After taking Popstar pills for two weeks, I noticed a big difference! My erections stay hard for a longer time and my orgasms are much more powerful. In addition, my volume has increased twice the amount as before. I am looking forward to having many more explosions!

I was skeptical. I’ve tried other products before but this has shown more visible results. My cream is thicker and tastier. It’s especially noticeable when I’m edging myself. The load size is bigger, but like I mentioned before, thicker. Will continue to use this.
