Study: Handsome Men Produce Best Sperm

LONDON (Reuters) - Handsome men produce the best quality semen and beautiful women seem to have good voices, according to scientists.

When researchers at the University of Valencia in Spain tested the quality of male sperm and then later asked women to rank the attractiveness of the donors it produced some interesting results.

"They found that men with the most attractive faces also make the best quality sperm," New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.

In another study, researchers at the University of Nottingham in England compared the quality of female voices and their facial features. After playing recordings of 30 young women to men, who ranked them in order, the researchers asked them to look at their pictures and choose the most striking faces.

"The men judged women with the nicest voices as the most attractive, on average," the magazine added.

What do you think?

What criteria do they use to judge the quality of the sperm, I'm wondering???

I think science is always fun. It’s impossible to tell from this how they controlled their experiment. Therefore, it is impossible to know if this is good science. What were they looking for?

Now I'll sound mean. I have seen some really unattractive people with tremendously cute kids, as well as the opposite. What does having “quality” sperm guarantee? I have also seen people with great voices that would not rate high on the “looks” list... at least in my book.

There are also many very pretty people with no talent at all.

I too would be very interested in knowing the criteria they used to judge the quality of sperm.

This makes me think of Paul McCartney becoming a father again at 60.

For some reason I thought this meant the best tasting semen...time to get my mind out of the gutter.

ROFL! I'm picturing some sort of semen taste-off. Like a chili making contest. Only with semen. Ok, enough of that
