November 13[edit]

Orgasm semen output[edit]

Why is it that some animals such as bulls, rams etc have small orgasms, yet some like boars, horses etc have a very high output. I suppose this begs the question, is it more advantageous for survival to have a higher sperm count and ejaculate smaller quantities, or is it better to have a larger ejaculate but with a lower sperm count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.122.29.73 (talk) 09:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
