Porn makes sperm better swimmers

Pornography may turn sperm into better swimmers (Image: Science)
Looking at pornographic images of men and women together can increase the quality of a man's sperm, a new study suggests.

Pornography involving a woman alone or multiple women doesn't have the same effect.

Evolutionary biologist Professor Leigh Simmons of the University of Western Australia says the effect is based on an evolutionary process observed in animals known as sperm competition.

This occurs when semen quality increases according to the perceived risk of another male fertilising a female.

"Males ejaculate more sperm, or sperm of better quality, when the risk of sperm competition [the probability that a female will mate with more than one male] is high," Simmons writes in the journal Biology Letters today.

Simmons says his research now shows that just looking at an image of another man in action is enough to register as a case of sperm competition, causing a compensatory adjustment in the viewer's semen.

"Our data show that image content can have an impact on men's semen quality," he says.

"We show that ... human males viewing images depicting sperm competition had a higher percentage of motile [efficiently moving] sperm in their ejaculates."

[CCS]

Gee, I dunno... the article seems to be stating the completely opposite idea

Mental note to self, don't eat brekkie and read forums.

[sv]

have to strike a balance though...

you could be breeding incredible sperm but never actually get laid because you're too busy perpetually masturbating to ever leave the house.

[CCS]

So they're doing another eDay this year... and as far as I can see, there will be no collection on the North Shore. Retarded? I think yes.

what could you possibly be eating for breakfast that reading the above would put you off your food, tadpole ravioli with cream sauce ?

[Mickey]

yoghurt

This is assuming you actually want to make babies. Lesbian porn is clearly the best option.

Whitebait in brine?

Haydos is not a Monday person.

[Haydos]

I love Mondays. People are more prone to biting.

[CCS]

Funny, we're all thinking the same thing about you.

[Haydos]

Yeah, because I'm following you from thread to thread, replying to your posts.

[CCS]

So uh... if I post in the same thread that you post in, and if one of those posts is in reply to something you've said... then I'm biting?

But if somebody posts something and you bite... then it's not really biting?


I like your logic.

yea, one collection point for all of Auckland which arguably has the most gadgets etc due to the commercial business, but that's ok because Opotiki gets one as well!

[Haydos]

Following someone into every thread and telling them you don't care about their opinion while quoting their opinion and attempting to mock/refute/whatever is biting.

You know, it's how you do.

[ChaosWulf]

Ew. What were Stuff thinking?

[Baal]

I can imagine them going at it, tongues flying. Nom nom nom. Hmm lunchtime soon.

[sv]

so limp right now

I don't get it. What constitutes 'following'? It seems to be a buzz word that you raise all the time, but really - what's the alternative? How do I mock you if I can't respond to you? And if I'm to respond to you, how am I to do that without 'following' you?

Oh hey, that makes perfect sense! Sounds like the same retards who stuffed up the North Shore colelction point last year are running things this year.

The whole "You can't troll me if I'm trolling you" discussion. Cute.

The Head Like a Hole reformation should be an interesting experience, the 90s were certainly richer with Booga running around the stage like a diseased monkey.

Really? Hasn't that been your pre-emptive technique from the get-go?

[Haydos]

Not really, I don't think I've ever responded to one of your posts that wasn't directed to one of my posts.

[CCS]

Haha, absolute horseshit.

But really, I meant that you use that technique in general, no matter who you're talking to.

[Haydos]

Not really, just you - you're the only other consistent troll here. I don't bother with you until you show how apathetic you are towards me by responding to something small and minor in one of my posts, so as not to actually have to seem informed about anything.

Shall we make out now? All this flirtation gets me wet.

[Baal]

[sv]

Soooo... I never really fully realised until leaving and coming back, but NZ isn't quite a first world country (as outdated as the term is).

We're all Pacific Islanders.

Problem with that argument is that you can't tell when other people are making fun of you or baiting you. Your vanity blinds you to this. "Make fun of me? Couldn't possible be the case. No, I must assume that they're all simpletons and I shall have to correct them."

I don't bother with you until you show how apathetic you are towards me by responding to something small and minor in one of my posts, so as not to actually have to seem informed about anything.

There's so much that's wrong in this post that I almost don't know where to start.

I'll just skip ahead by noting that you try so hard to come off as an independent thinker that your conclusion is pretty much always off the mark. I think that's what I find so amusing and irritating.

[Haydos]

The easiest way to frustrate someone is to act completely oblivious to their criticism of you and pay them no real mind other than to point out the different view you have of their opinion.

Mix that up with a few threads where you're discussing a point and not bothering to respond to the people trolled by your previous work and you'll simply grow their frustration even more

Haven't you realised that yet?

They say that the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Am I learning yet, sensei?

[Haydos]

Learning is beyond you, you don't fake arrogance for amusement. You are arrogant. You'll only learn if you believe it assits you to maintain your arrogance.

See, we're moving into psycho analysis online now, see how fun this is?

SpaceX have thrown another Falcon 1 onto the pad before it has fully cooled down from flight 3, their launch window is 23:00 GMT September 28 to 4:00 GMT (7pm to 12am EDT).

For those of you who don't know what's going on, SpaceX are a relatively new US space launch company headed up by paypal founder, Elon Musk. So far they've launched 3 rockets and had 3 kinds of failure:

Now why is it that you're allowed to use the line that your arrogance is simply your online persona and not reflective of reality, but I can't use the same line? Hmmm... smells like, hypocrisy...

BTW, I like how personal you're getting now. Must be really annoying you.
