According to Simon’s Book of World Sexual Records, normally the semen jet covers a distance of 15 to 20 centimeters, but marks of more than 1 meter have been known! As there is no such category in the Guinness Book or a world championship for “distance cumming”, the records are based on “it is known that” or “so-and-so said that”, without any scientific proof. Within this category of dubious data, the feat of a certain Horst Schultz circulates on the internet, who would have reached an incredible 5.71 meters in distance, 3.76 meters in height and, believe it or not, a “shot” of 64.05 km /H. The numbers seem absurd, but you never know, right?! What is certain is that the distance reached by ejaculation is directly proportional to the amount of accumulated semen. And this only happens when a few days go by without expelling the white goo. A study published in The Journal of Fertility and Sterility, concludes, based on the analysis of the “ejaculatory behavior” of 1,300 men, that, for each day of sexual abstention, the man accumulates 0.4 ml of semen. But the reservoir has a limit: among the men in the survey, the largest ejaculated volume was 11 ml and the average was 3.2 ml. It seems little, but if you think that in each ml travel from 20 million to 100 million spermatozoa, you will agree that 11 ml represents a huge haul. Even more if you consider that the squadron of sperm leaves the penis at an average of 45 km/h – to give you an idea, the average speed of the record holder of the 100 meters does not reach 37 km/h.
SCOURGE
Moves frantically in circles to boost sperm
ACROSOME
Reservoir of enzymes that facilitate perforation of the uterine membrane
CORE
It is where the genetic material transmitted by the father is located.
LAP
Just below the head comes a reservoir of mitochondria, which provide energy for sperm propulsion.
• According to the American Society of Andrology, a human ejaculate contains 40 million to 300 million sperm. The number is very similar to that of rabbits (100 million to 300 million) and much smaller than that of dogs (0.2 billion to 2 billion) and horses (5 to 25 billion)
• Every day there are around 114 million sexual intercourses in the world, that is, 79,166 per minute. If each ejaculation has an average of 3 ml of semen, that’s 14,250 liters in an hour. An Olympic-sized swimming pool holds 1.89 million liters. So filling her with semen (yuck!) would take 5 days, 12 hours and 38 minutes
• In 5 ml of semen there are less than 2 calories, 0.115 g of protein (0.01% of the daily recommendation) and 0.96 to 2.4 mg of zinc, a powerful antioxidant, which prevents premature aging. Depending on the person’s diet, the semen can be more or less bitter (urgh!)
• Although an ejaculate has millions of sperm, they make up only 1% of the slime’s volume. The remaining 99% comes basically from two places: the most fluid part comes from the seminal vesicles (70% of the volume) and the whitish, more gooey part comes from the prostate (30%)
