Episode notes
Sperm Production and Temperature
- Sperm is produced in the testes, which are held within the scrotum.
- The scrotum regulates temperature to optimize sperm development.
Testicle Size and Function
- Testicle size varies naturally, but size isn't linked to function or behavior like infidelity.
- There's no scientific basis for claims that testicle size correlates with cheating.
Semen Composition
- Semen is only about 10% sperm; the rest is fluid from glands like the seminal vesicles.
- These fluids provide energy and facilitate sperm movement, with fructose contributing to a sweet taste.
