“it’s too good… it must be fake.”
i’ve been seeing a lot of videos on the internet saying this race must be fake because of how close it was. and honestly, when i rewatched the stream, i had the same thought.
like… there’s no way sperm racing is this entertaining. this beautiful. this close.
it felt unreal.
i get it.
but, we’ve got nothing to hide. so here’s the full breakdown of how we run the races — so you can see for yourself, or even replicate it if you want.
this is how the tech side works:

sperm sample collection + purification
collection
the sperm sample is collected through masturbation into a sterile 50 mL tube pre-warmed to 37°c.
after that, the sample incubates at 37°c for 15–30 minutes to fully liquefy.
density gradient purification
we layer puresperm 40 and 80 to create a density gradient.
the ejaculate is gently placed on top.
then it’s centrifuged at 300g for 20 minutes (no brake).
