"But sperm racing is also so much more than just a game for digital sex weirdos. It is a company, specifically a venture capital-backed attempt to-according to the company's website-"turn health into a sport." And while that might sound hopelessly stupid, Sperm Racing (the company) recently raised $10 million, proving that not only are the participants unwell, but Silicon Valley is too."
"To really drill down into what sperm racing (the event) is, you can read this Twitter thread that describes the "science" behind it. TLDR: Two dick-equipped people jizz into cups, and give them to...I don't know, sperm racing officials? The spunk referees then do something cursed to distill the sperm and make it fit for racing (" a multi-step preparation and cleaning process"). Then, the isolated swimmers are placed into a "custom mold" and tracked via microscope to see which "wins.""
A venture-backed company called Sperm Racing organizes competitive events where men provide semen samples that are processed, isolated, and tracked microscopically to determine the fastest sperm. Participants were framed by college affiliation, such as USC versus UCLA, to create rivalries. The preparation allegedly involves a "multi-step preparation and cleaning process" before placing sperm in a custom mold for tracking. The company claims to aim at "turning health into a sport" and expresses concern about declining male fertility. The company reportedly raised $10 million in funding. Observers criticize the concept as absurd, ethically dubious, and possibly viral marketing.
