Semen

In our part of the world, reproduction or inability to conceive is always blamed on the female but it's worthy of note that it's a mutual responsibility and shouldn't be tilt to a particular gender.



 The semen is a white (graylike) substance which carries the spermatozoa (sperm cells). And keep them alive (some say 5 days when released to the female reproductive track) till it fertilizer an ovum. It takes one (1) sperm cell to fertility one ovum (egg) in order to conceive; notwithstanding the body produces millions of sperm cells in a day, it produces 1,500 sperm cells in a second. When one ejaculate semens, the body releases 20-300 million sperm cells in one ejaculation. Only one is needed to fertilize an ovum. These sperm cells produced daily, need days to mature to spermatozoa. Matured spermatozoa have a head, that contains the genetic part of the male. The conception of a male or female child is a function of the X and Y chromosome from the male spermatozoa and female ovum. The female produces only X chromosomes while the male produces X or Y chromosomes. If the male Y chromosome meet the female X chromosome, a male child is conceived otherwise, a female is conceived. So let us ask ourselves who is to be blamed if the female gender keeps conceiving a female child? That was just by the way, just wanted us to be guided before passing the blames on the women; now back to our discussion, the matured spermatozoa contains a head and a tail which assists it swim through the female ovaries for fertilization.

When the sperm is produced, it is stored in the epididymis where the sperm develops and gain motility to travel through the female reproductive track when released as semen during ejaculation.

Now that we have established that it takes matured sperm to swim faster in the female reproductive track, though common sense would suggest that couples looking for babies are to have sex on the regular, but biologically, the sperms need days to mature. It needs the epididymis to grow motility to enable it travel. It needs to grow its head and tail. So if you are looking for babies, you need to let the male rest. A health sex twices a week can make the magic.

Please also check with your doctor to do a sperm check if you're having issues with pregnancy.

As much as the body produces sperm, it also have a way of removing dead or unwanted semens from the body, it is called wet dreams. There are myth behind the fact that men have a biologically need for sex, giving excuse for men not to abstain till after marriage. If you abstain, you have better chance of conceiving compared to those who have sex on the regular or masturbate. Wet dreams is not abnormal if you abstain, after the cycle of sperm production, spermatogenesis, the sperm produces approximately 8 billion spermatozoa and release 20 - 300 million as semens during ejaculation. So imagine how many millions of spermatozoa you release everyday if you masturbate regularly as a man. Just give your semen a rest.
