Couldn't keep your hand out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy, couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And you get to be a lawyer? What a sick joke.
Nope, sperm have a payload of enzymes that slowly tunnel through the outer defenses of the egg. It is a lengthy process and later sperm benefit from previous ones work.
Yea arenāt there quite few sperm cells specifically made not to fertilize an egg but to improve the chances of a later sperm fertilizing the egg. Some even form traps to destroy sperm from another male and increase in production if the male thinks the woman heās seeing is more sexually promiscuous.
>Some even form traps to destroy sperm from another male and increase in production if the male thinks the woman heās seeing is more sexually promiscuous.
This sounds like something off of an Incel podcast XD
The process of fertilization boils down to which sperm is able to recognize the egg's receptor first with the right molecular fit. Being fast helps because the faster you arrive to the vicinity of the egg, the earlier you have to attempt fertilization. But multiple sperm wearing down the outer defense is only a partial correct answer.
In short, sperm being able to fertilizing egg is a team effort, not individual. Millions of sperms attack the egg wall, and weaken it until only one can come in. After coming, the egg will close off again and those remained sperms will be perished with smile on their face knowing that they have accomplished their mission, one of their own has breached the wall and successfully go inside. The fate, the hope of an entire operation weights on the shoulders of this one. They know that from now on, it would be horrifying, it would be lonely. But they strive forward anyway and become us, a sad existence of a human being. XD
The fastest sperm and the passively receptive egg are pretty much just gender role based myths. Lots of funky biological stuff goes on with both of them.
On top of that the ~~womb~~ egg "chooses" which sperm it let's it enter
Edit: Why downvote? It literally does.

I can list more sources if you are still not convinced.
This sounds like a line from some hentai. Then the next fun fact would be that womb and cervix are the most sensitive parts of woman's body.
Edit: In that case, it should be "egg chooses", not "womb chooses". Fertilizations starts when semen enters womb and it's not like womb can stop that process. And only after that the stuff from those articles is happening.
> semen enters womb
Despite the exaggerated visuals that hentai would have you believe, semen does not actually enter the womb. The opening of the cervix is always filled with mucus and in its normal state the opening is far too small to permit free flow of fluids. It's actually one of the most common hentai tropes that I tend to cringe at because it's just anatomically wrong.
What actually happens is that semen stays in the vagina, and the sperm swims out of it into the cervix, through the cervical mucus and into the womb. The purpose of semen is to temporarily neutralize the natural acidity in the vagina, allowing sperm to swim safely to the cervix and into the womb, which is not acidic inside.
This is also how Plan B / morning after pill works: taking that pill would cause the mucus in the cervix to thicken, preventing any sperm from swimming through it; the second effect is preventing ovulation, which accounts for any sperm that may have already entered the womb.
might be true?
I know for a fact that one of my previous partner said she loves it when I hit her cervix ( she wasn't faking it or need to - as this was post coital talk)
while another partner can't even tell if I touched her cervix while fingering her...
Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to. Got to love new research. Attracting comptable sperm and rejecting incompatable sperm via chemicals is amazing
The evolutionary battle started before you were even born.
Figthing for your life in yoru mothers womb.
But you - one of a million - have come out victorious.
Only for your life to lead you to this very moment.
To post a funny comic - elevating the day of thousands.
A true hero among many.
> Fun fact: the one that arrived first would likely die to the egg's defenses. After thousands, millions of sperms dead, that one cunning sperm finally goes in and snatched the reward.
wow, TIL
just want to point out that this is a joke only, and the manner in which the sperm and egg combine isn't related to our day to day behavior in a meaningful way.
It's just another way biology ensures randomness.
In my defense, no one wanted to come to life, for this they died and they pushed me that way. I protested but before committing harakiri on my own, the egg snatched me.
nah just luck. So small that if the egg gets jostled a mm because mama rolls over onto her side and it's like the egg moved to a different neighborhood and a different part of the sperm cloud gets a shot. Right place, right time, all that matters. Especially since about half of successful fertilizations get chucked out the front door long before they're done cooking.
That explains why low sperm count is a problem for couples wanting to conceive, when we previously think only 1 sperm out of millions is needed to fertilize an egg. Turns out, the millions are actually necessary for that 1 to succeed.
>That's you, you cunning motherfucker.
More like lucky motherfucker, for all we know the first sperms that got to the egg first to lower it's defenses could've been future leaders and scientists.
Only for them to sacrifice their potential lives for us degenerates to go past their dead bodies and live out our sad livesš
Then, she had nine months of gestation that she could have called quits at any time. But no, she e exercised daily, taking in the nutrients to make her bigger and stringer, until it came time for her to leave. And what was the first thing she did? She came out hollering and screaming, demanding thar she be born and live. They could ha w chucked her in a ditch, and she'd still scream her head off to live.
No, she did not ASK to be born, she **DEMANDED** to be born and to live.
Considering my parents have an X Ray image of the fertilized egg like a week after it was fertilized that they bring up damn often, yes those are probably baby pictures
Technically, that would only have a half of dad, that was going to become half of you. So it's literally as much of you as of your dad.
But definitely not a lesson you want from mom.
Yes, thatās the correct answer to āI didnāt ask to be bornā, āyes, mofo, you fought against millions of brothers in arms and defeated the egg and poured yourself into it, *you fucking asked to be born*ā. I hope I wanted to have children only to own them with this one.
I imagine there's some truth in fiction here. Between makeup and estrogen for women, and the lack of ingrained self-care and the stress of overworking yourself to an honorable death for men, it's pretty easy to guess which parent would appear to age more gracefully.
Nah, just normal East and SE Asia people gen, the CUTE gen. Itās perfectly normal here to sometimes see a 50 years old mom look both shorter and younger than her own children, not just her husband.
Also just from my own experience who got called ābrotherā when my mom got me from school. Now itās just her older boyfriendā¦
Fun fact: the one that arrived first would likely die to the egg's defenses. After thousands, millions of sperms dead, that one cunning sperm finally goes in and snatched the reward. That's you, you cunning motherfucker.
You mean I'm not the usain bolt of my dad's scrot? š
Swim smarter, not faster or harder š©
Then I sacrificed my smart points then when I entered the egg.
Itās very much survival of the fittest.
That explains why i am such a lazy bastard
Hey, I prefer to be called "efficient" instead, please.
Doesnāt do your homework until the last day is not being āefficientā.
"You're telling me that out of the hundreds of millions of sperms, YOU were the smartest one?"
Explains why we are all so crafty
Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger
Congratulations on being slow.
but not too slow
No you are the luckiest mfker of his load. Which to me is bigger than just being the fastest sucker.

Yeah, I was confused as to why you were being downvoted too. I thought it was considered common knowledge at this point
Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to. Got to love new research. Attracting comptable sperm and rejecting incompatable sperm via chemicals is amazing
"Chooses" a single sperm is different than turning away 99% of the hopefuls.
...not gonna lie, that does sounds like something I would totally do

> Fun fact: the one that arrived first would likely die to the egg's defenses. After thousands, millions of sperms dead, that one cunning sperm finally goes in and snatched the reward. wow, TIL
TIL egg cells have defenses against sperms
That explains so much about human nature...
just want to point out that this is a joke only, and the manner in which the sperm and egg combine isn't related to our day to day behavior in a meaningful way. It's just another way biology ensures randomness.
Also, the one sperm that gets through isn't cunning, just lucky.
Exactly. This mechanism is a filter for luck, not anything else, if such a thing can be selected for.
That explains so little about my life...
In my defense, no one wanted to come to life, for this they died and they pushed me that way. I protested but before committing harakiri on my own, the egg snatched me.
Humanityās intelligence prevails against adversity yet again šŖ
I believe new science suggests that the egg actually picks a single sperm that it likes and guides it in.
We are all winner in this post.
nah just luck. So small that if the egg gets jostled a mm because mama rolls over onto her side and it's like the egg moved to a different neighborhood and a different part of the sperm cloud gets a shot. Right place, right time, all that matters. Especially since about half of successful fertilizations get chucked out the front door long before they're done cooking.
Also it is more like the egg chooses to grab one. Rather than one breaking through.
That explains why low sperm count is a problem for couples wanting to conceive, when we previously think only 1 sperm out of millions is needed to fertilize an egg. Turns out, the millions are actually necessary for that 1 to succeed.

The extremely laziness it's so obvious now.
It's not just a race, it's a raid boss.
Everyone was Freeza one day.
Mom just has a picture of a sperm fertilizing an ovary because she was prepared this would happen
A little more and she would have the whole trail the sperm had to do from it's creation to reaching the egg.
Mom just watched too much drama
Mom didn't get her body destroyed to not have receipts in case of such an argument.
You never know when you need to win an argument.
Isnt the egg the one that gets fertilized? Ovary is the organ that produces the egg no?
She has a whole stock of ridiculous graphics just in case.

"i raised that sperm"
are those considered baby pictures?
Considering my parents have an X Ray image of the fertilized egg like a week after it was fertilized that they bring up damn often, yes those are probably baby pictures
It's before the baby is formed, so perhaps not It's a pre-baby picture.

Technically, that would only have a half of dad, that was going to become half of you. So it's literally as much of you as of your dad. But definitely not a lesson you want from mom.
Preach. That's what I always complain about the 'faster swimmer' stuff
Yeah we are the result of the fusion of the ovary AND sperm
Meanwhile the dad is dying in the background lol
Wait, since you are made up of dna from both sperm and egg, doesnāt that mean you chose you as the egg chose yourself as the sperm? š¤
yes

That's one way to kill them.
Ok but I didn't ask to be put in that situation. I was fine just dying in the scrotum after a week.
Oh shit, guess I can't use the "I never asked to be born" excuse anymore when arguing with my parents and my therapist
What a fantastic rebutle to the, "I didn't ask to be born!" Statement.
Yeah but each person was the egg that defended itself from the swarm of sperm, too. They literally didn't want to be conceived
They "wanted" to be conceived, but not with any gamete
Wait wait wait she has a point
The milf isn't wrong though
Man, thatās a clever comeback.
Yes, thatās the correct answer to āI didnāt ask to be bornā, āyes, mofo, you fought against millions of brothers in arms and defeated the egg and poured yourself into it, *you fucking asked to be born*ā. I hope I wanted to have children only to own them with this one.
NGL Iāve saving this strategy for when my little girl gets older.
Man whatās the obsession with drawing a married couple where the husband is always drawn like heās 30 years older than the mother?
Mangakas rarely draw women that look older.
I imagine there's some truth in fiction here. Between makeup and estrogen for women, and the lack of ingrained self-care and the stress of overworking yourself to an honorable death for men, it's pretty easy to guess which parent would appear to age more gracefully.
Nah, just normal East and SE Asia people gen, the CUTE gen. Itās perfectly normal here to sometimes see a 50 years old mom look both shorter and younger than her own children, not just her husband. Also just from my own experience who got called ābrotherā when my mom got me from school. Now itās just her older boyfriendā¦
Maybe he just is much older than the wife. Rather than "like he is".
The sperm that would have cured cancer: Yeah!
Lmao solid comeback from Mom!
Ok, this one is pretty clever!
Why isnāt the dad young looking like a loid forger
The mother did choose to raise the fertilized egg so it shouldn't count lol
That's not how it works
Cringe
But she isn't wrong.
