  • - [Eugene] You guys ready?

  • - [All] Three, two, one, go!

  • - Jackoff!

  • Alright, I'm gonna turn this off now

  • so I can pleasure myself in an office.

  • (upbeat, exciting music)

  • - Okay, so, what are we doing today?

  • I don't know how is best to describe it.

  • - Like, where do we.

  • - When do we touch ourselves?

  • - First of all, it's all.

  • - Today we're gonna get our sperm counts tested.

  • This topic is very important to me because

  • I want to have children.

  • - I'm actually really interested to find out

  • if my sperm are normal.

  • - This is not something you think about.

  • You're just like, yeah, my dick works.

  • When we talk about fertility, we talk about

  • women having to get tested a lot,

  • but not as much about men.

  • Do you think that's true?

  • - It's absolutely true, and it's absolutely not fair.

  • We don't really know how big of a problem this is

  • because a lot of couples will either give up

  • and not come in, or a lot of guys

  • won't think that there's anything wrong with them.

  • - Every guy is terrified of having a baby,

  • but I feel like, secretly, we're more terrified

  • of not being able to have a baby.

  • - I'm nervous.

  • - Don't be nervous, it's really easy.

  • You've done this at home a thousand times.

  • - More than that.

  • - Basically, you're going to collect sperm

  • into a cup.

  • - We were planning on making it a race.

  • - [Zach] We're gonna try and be quickest.

  • - [Keith] Go!

  • - Now to think about my wife.

  • - So I'm in the masterbatorium,

  • about to get fine-gritty.

  • And it couldn't be weirder.

  • - I don't, what do I.

  • - [Keith] Yeah, you just came out, what time was it?

  • - [Zach] 5:07! You're fast at jerking it.

  • - Trying to figure out the DVD player.

  • It won't work.

  • - Guys, we did it.

  • 6:54, that's respectable.

  • How long does it normally take?

  • - Maybe ten minutes is average.

  • - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

  • - 12:25.

  • - I took time to wash my hands after.

  • - I think I'm just gonna use my imagi, oh.

  • - Zach's initially the slowest.

  • - He's still in there?

  • 16 minutes?

  • - [Voiceover] 37 minutes in.

  • - I'm just worried.

  • - Well, I'm done.

  • That was a disaster.

  • I have some good news: I did it.

  • Bad news is that I missed.

  • - [Eugene] How much did you get in the cup?

  • - Not, not much.

  • - Where did the rest of it go?

  • - I'd rather not say, Eugene.

  • - Sperm and semen together are analyzed

  • in something called a semen analysis.

  • - We'll actually take the sample,

  • we'll put it in the machine, and it calibrates,

  • reads the semen, gives us a report.

  • - It's almost fully loaded, which is a choice term.

  • - A little nervous, because actually seeing it

  • in numbers on paper is gonna be really eye-opening.

  • - I'm not feeling very optimistic right now.

  • - I just hope that I'm okay.

  • I just hope that I'm normal.

  • - [Voiceover] Moment of truth.

  • (upbeat, jazzy music)

  • - The sperm like to be about two degrees colder

  • than the rest of the body.

  • The heat from a laptop is enough to cook those sperm.

  • So, anything that can get in the way

  • of sperm cooling is a bad thing.

  • - I've been wearing boxers all week,

  • just as preperation.

  • - [Jesse] Boxers are great.

  • - Exercise?

  • - [Jesse] Exercise is wonderful.

  • - I'm o-for-three on that.

  • - And stress is another big one.

  • There's a lot of toxins that are bad for sperm.

  • Alcohol, it's okay.

  • Anything in moderation is probably okay.

  • So, one of the biggest ways to make your sperm counts

  • go to zero, is taking supplemental testosterone.

  • Things that are pretty neutral,

  • caffeine, it makes them moto, right?

  • - Smoking.

  • - Smoking, it's a sign of stress on the sperm,

  • but it's not a dealbreaker.

  • - Weed.

  • - We don't really have a lot of data on pot.

  • - Perfect.

  • - I think that your sperm are really

  • a good bellwether for how the rest of your body is.

  • If you have abnormalities with your sperm,

  • then there's something else going wrong

  • in your life.

  • (dinging)

  • - Let's talk about the way one measures sperm.

  • - The quantitative part is how much volume,

  • or how much liquid comes out when a man ejaculates.

  • - Point four.

  • - Point four what?

  • - Millileters.

  • - That's not much.

  • - It's not.

  • - The highest volume of ejaculate: Ned.

  • Now, Eugene comes in a close scond.

  • - Well, he didn't win, so that's all that matters.

  • - The other quantitative thing is how many sperm

  • come out in that ejaculation.

  • This is how many million per milliliter.

  • Ned and Eugene both are in the 70 million.

  • 3.4 was your volume, times 73.1,

  • gives you a total sperm count of 248.6 million.

  • Eugene, 237.6 million per ejaculate.

  • - We're still competing on a molecular level.

  • - Zach was at 37.9 million.

  • Keith is extremely high concentration at 128.1 million.

  • - What?

  • - That's why I don't need all that extra fluid.

  • - He's really only at about 60 million.

  • - Mistakes were made.

  • - Mistakes were definitely made.

  • - But, it takes one, right?

  • - I wonder what my boys look like.

  • - [Jesse] We just take out a dropper

  • and put it in the special slide, and we look at it

  • under a microscope.

  • - I bet Keith's sperm are really good at wiggling, like.

  • - Zach is gonna have the hairiest sperm.

  • - Eugene's has the kind of sperm

  • that, like, trips other sperm on the way to the egg.

  • - My only hope is that Ned has the strongest, fastest sperm.

  • - Woah, what, what?

  • Yeah!

  • - The qualitative aspects are the shape of the sperm,

  • which is what we call morphology.

  • - And there's your sperm.

  • - There they are, look at them!

  • Oh, look at them go, look at those little idiots.

  • - [Voiceover] That one has two tails right there.

  • - [Keith] Woah, you're a freak!

  • - Only 4% of them have to be considered morphologically

  • normal, which means you've got 96% of your sperm

  • are knuckleheads.

  • Look at those guys.

  • - [Eugene] Wow.

  • - So we'll focus in, they are doing a dance.

  • The other qualitative thing is how fast they're moving.

  • To get up to an egg, that sperm is running

  • the microscopic equivalent of running

  • from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

  • - Look at those little guys.

  • Oh, they look happy and healthy and fun.

  • - Can we all have kids?

  • - You guys are all armed and dangerous.

  • - Whatever helps destigmatize any sort of health-related

  • thing for a man is good.

  • If you can't produce, then what kind of man are you, right?

  • - That is a huge cross to bare.

  • No, you're no less of a man.

  • - What you do in real life is what makes you a man,

  • so, don't be afraid to check it out.

  • - And it's better to know sooner than later,

  • because some of these things are reversable.

  • - There's a lot of things that we don't even know

  • that we do daily, that effects out genitals.

  • And our future babies.

  • - Even if they're gonna have difficulty,

  • we're gonna find some way to get that couple pregnant.

  • - There are so many ways to start a family,

  • even if there is a problem.

  • All that said, my sperm are ready to have babies.

  • - [Keith] Oh, man, I would name that one Keith.

  • I would name this one, these two Keith.

  • - [Voiceover] Congratulations.

  • Can we check his balls?

  • - That was actually great, I had a great time.

  • - [Zach] It was a nightmare.

  • It was the worst masterbation of all time.

- [Eugene] You guys ready?
