Finnish men were studied as they have previously been shown to have some of the highest sperm counts in the world.

Boo-yah!

I'd high-five, but the article is quite dreadful to read. Me and my 202,000,000 sperm...

Also I don't know where your hands have been

And no, I didn't know what those Biology Dept. guys were doing. Now I know.

I don't believe that, it has to be the Asian or Hispanic culture that has that record.....

The University of Turku research suggests...

Semen analysis
Each man provided a semen sample by masturbation in a room close to
the laboratory. The ejaculation abstinence period prior to sampling was
recorded. The sample was collected in a plastic container and kept at
378C until analysis. Semen volume was estimated by weighing the collection
tube, and the percentage of motile spermatozoa was determined.
Sperm concentration was assessed using a Bu¨rker-Tu¨rk haemocytometer,
and sperm morphology was assessed according to strict criteria. Morphology
slides were assessed for only 1897 men (54.4%) due to lack of
resources, however, the slides were randomly selected. Total sperm
count was calculated as semen volume × sperm concentration. Details
of the methods have previously been described (Jørgensen et al.,
1997, 2002).

They essentially play with spunk.
I just don't trust Finnish science...

I trust it more than I trust half the "science" I hear from your side of the puddle
