Everything You (N)ever Wanted to Know About Sex

Is Sperm Nutritious or Fattening?
One morning in Bucharest during breakfast, one of my friends just out of the blue asked everyone this question. Surprisingly, no on knew the answer. Sperm, despite its important DNA material, is not particularly nutritious or fattening. The average ejaculation is approximately one teaspoon, and it contains somewhere between two to three hundred million sperm. But they only contain five to six calories in total. The calories are derived from protein, enzymes, and sugars that are secreted into semen by the prostate gland to provide the sperm with the energy to swim.
What Else Can be Found in Semen besides Sperm?
The answer to this question is somewhat scientific, so look up a word if you have to. Ingredients include water, vitamin C, citric acid, phosphates, bicarbonates, zinc, and prostaglandins.
Can A Girl Get Pregnant If She Has Sex During Her Period?
When I was still a kid I remember watching a TV show in which a guy was told to kiss his girlfriend in front of the camera to profess his love. After long hesitation the guy finally gave in to the pressure the hosts were creating, and lightly kissed the girl on the lips. Immediately afterwards, the hosts joked that "I'm sure your wife-to-be will have your baby, congratulations." I was puzzled by how babies were conceived, because I kissed my mom all the time. Did that mean my mom could get pregnant because of me? Obviously, no, but in fact a girl can become pregnant while she is having her period. Not all bleeding is having a period, and if a woman has a short menstrual cycle she could be ovulating even when her period is ending.
Do Oysters Really Make You Horny?
Oysters are full of various kinds of vitamins and minerals, such as zinc. Zinc controls progesterone levels, which have a positive effect on the libido. Oysters may resemble certain anatomical parts but this does not make them a stimulant. There are many different foods (and alcohol) that are thought to be aphrodisiacs. For example, last summer during my trip to Cuba I stumbled upon an indigenous rum that supposedly did away with the need for Viagra. It tastes like mint so you can mix it or just drink it straight. It is said to be a secret aphrodisiac because all you taste is the mint and don't realize its effects. Nevertheless, there is no scientific evidence to prove that any of these aphrodisiacs actually work. The following foods are thought to get you horny: chocolate, strawberries, champagne, Spanish Fly, Chinese Turtle, and animal crackers.
Big Hands, Big Feet, Big Nose = Big Penis?
Last time I was in Barcelona a Spaniard told me that the distance from either side of the nose across the tip to the other side suggests one's penis size. Later that day I kept staring at my nose in the mirror and concluded that my nose was very small. Maybe I should start telling lies and hoping like Pinocchio that my nose would grow bigger so that women would come to me? Fortunately, there is no evidence supporting the nose measurement theory, as well as the one that correlates hand size with the size of your "package." As for foot size, two British urologists measured the penile length of 105 men and juxtaposed the data with their shoe size and found no relationship between the two. As for other size issues, a small penis expands more than a big penis during erection. And since a woman is sexually sensitive on the outer third of the vagina only, a big penis is not necessarily required for satisfaction. So ladies, size does NOT matter.
Can a Man Run Out of Sperm?
I remember the first time this question popped into my head when I was watching a National Geographic program on the Japanese porn industry. An actor was told by his director to have sex with women twice a day. Three months later he was in an ambulance because he had overused his genitals. So is it possible that the well of life might someday run dry? The answer is no, but there is other bad news for guys. Men over thirty-five have more abnormalities in their sperm movement. This means that over time a man's average sperm count decreases. The World Health Organization guidelines also show that a normal sperm count is twenty million, but twenty-five years ago was one hundred million. Good luck!
