According to National Geographic, sperm is pretty friggin’ cool. At least, that’s what their new documentary “Sizing Up Sperm” seeks to depict. Premiering March 14th, the show will illustrate how every time a guy blows his load, millions of sperm fight in a battle of epic proportions to overcome competitors, armies of antibodies and spermicides in the quest for an eggy victory.

A twist on sex ed, the show brings ejaculation to life (pun intended) by using real people to portray each of the 250 million sperm emitted during male orgasm. Fertility experts walk the viewer through a visual journey from a sperm’s point of view, using “striking landscapes” (ok, that sounds a little scary) to show various phases of the process.

This discovery may explain why smart men have so many female admirers regardless of physical appearance. (Or maybe chicks just don’t dig morons.)

The research, conducted by Professor Geoffrey Miller of the Univ. of Mexico, indicated that men who scored high on intelligence tests had high counts of healthy sperm, whereas, low scorers tended to have fewer and more sickly sperm.

The study also suggests that being smart and funny may have developed as a signal to women looking for a mate with healthy genes. One can assume then, that your best chance of avoiding unwanted pregnancy is to continue dating brainless/humorless fucks.

spermAs if any man needed a reason to shoot his load in a female’s face, recent studies found that a powerful anti-oxidant in human sperm diminishes wrinkles and smooths the skin. The spermine found in human semen is now being synthesized in labs and sold by Norwegian company, Bioforskning.

The spermine facials cost around $250 and are being offered at local New York spa, Townhouse. (Conveniently, they also offer snail secretion facials for $175.) Alternatively, no doubt any philanthropic, heterosexual male would also be willing to provide the service free of charge.
