Quote of the day

“Keep the river flowing.”

- Dr David Greening from Sydney IVF, delicately describing his new advice that men should have sex every day to improve sperm quality and boost the chance of getting a partner pregnant.  In his study of men with fertility problems, daily ejaculation for a week cut the amount of DNA damage seen in sperm samples.  Although there was a big drop in sperm numbers from 180 million to 70 million over the week, men were still within the normal “fertile” range and sperm also became more active with a small rise in motility.  Sadly, he warned that having daily sex for too long – say a fortnight – would probably cut sperm numbers too much but nevertheless recommended “lots of sex daily” around the time the woman is ovulating.  “We are designed to breed in our youth. Perhaps we have been blaming the women as couples get older but perhaps there’s a contribution from the male because we’re not behaving as we should be, ” he said.

    perhaps there’s a contribution from the male

    Really? Ya think?

    A gazillion porn films and money shots says that men *definitely* make a contribution…

  2. And some men make more regular ‘contributions’ than others.

  3. ‘A gazillion porn films and money shots says that men *definitely* make a contribution…’

    Shaun, you might be onto something…maybe a contributory factor to infertility is that people watching the pr0n films with the usual type of money shot are, ye know… aiming in the wrong place?

    I’m sure that I actually read something somewhere exactly along those lines: “but Doctor, I shoot my load all over her face or butt just like in the movies but she never gets pregnant, gosh darnit!’…

  5. What about solo sex? :)

    If that gets you pregnant Asquith, dial 0800-FETCH-ME-THE-POPE…

  7. No wonder so many teens get pregnant. Adolescent boys don’t just have ‘flowing rivers’ they have multi-daily tidal bores!
