Study: Body mass affects sperm quality
Friday, October 22
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Beer bellies may take a toll on men below the belt, not just around it.
Men who weigh too much are more likely to have poor sperm quality, research on nearly 1,600 young Danish men has found. Being too thin is a problem, too.
The sperm study was published in the October issue of the reproductive society's journal, Fertility & Sterility.
It involved 1,558 men, average age 19, who volunteered to give a semen sample during mandatory exams to determine their fitness for military service.

Who would volunteer for that is what I'd like to know.
So what's the optimum sperm weight, then?
Ironic. All this week, I've been listening to things about male and female reproduction organs and STDs and making the right choice and such. sex ed... heh.
