Smarter Men Have More Sperm By Melinda Wenner, Special to LiveScience Women tend to like smart men because they're usually more successful and better providers. But here's another reason: Their sperm is better, a new study says. Researchers at King's College London, the University of Delaware and the University of New Mexico recently compared results from five intelligence tests given to 425 Vietnam War vets in 1985 as part of the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention's Vietnam Experience Study. These vets, aged 31 to 44, also provided sperm samples, so the researchers analyzed the sperm per milliliter of semen, plus how many of the sperm swam normally, and other measures of sperm health. The smarter the men were, the more sperm they produced and the better their wee ones swam — and it didn't matter how old the men were or whether they smoked, drank or were obese. http://www.livescience.com/health/090109-smarter-men.html
There's something I've read somewhere that said that men today have a lower sperm count than men in the past. Don't know if the article said it had to do with a less healthy lifestyle, or something similar.
Oops, too late. And I already did that. and I gotta tell ya, I ha.........nevermind.:smt023 Just playin'.
Something to thing about, do you really want to bring in more than 3 kids? Can you afford to raise those kids?
I find it strange that the correlative factor is intelligence alone and not the potential byproducts of intelligence such as healthier dietary decisions and life choices. I also wonder if the same conclusion would be found with the ovaries of smarter women?
The research doesn't hold much water. Maybe they should have concluded that smarter men tend to make smarter health choices and therefore end up producing more sperm. Genetics could also have somethng to do with it. But intelligence??....thats a geeks attempt at getting laid
I read the article in some swedish news paper.. And yeah, that would explain why there is nothing sexier then a man who can use multisyllable words... Since there is a correlation between education level and for example obesety and other health issues (negative correlation), health would probably be a factor.
