The Zinc Experiment

[BillTheKatt90]

As a scientist, I want to caution you not to change too many variables at once.
If you add zinc, grapefruit juice, diet and exercise, then see results, you won't know which is the appropriate factor.

Also, 14 days is probably not enough to determine.
Semen and sperm develop and incubate in the body for days before they are ejaculated.

You don't get a post-vasectomy sperm count until 3 to 4 weeks after because you could still have live sperm floating around.
You need a clean, fresh collection to measure.

I would check volume and viscosity.
Additional sperm could make you thicker and appear to have less volume.

If you need charts and graphs, let me know.

I agree that I need to try to control all but one variable; however, in real life it is difficult to control diet, which could possibly add variables. I would point out, though, that I am only taking the zinc supplement, and my wife said she would pick up another bottle when she next went to the store. I have recently changed my exercise regimen because of repetitive use injuries following lifelong participation in my sport of preference.

My observation is that viscosity increased significantly. My wife's observation is that volume increased quite a bit.

Now that this is turning into science, I regret I did not measure volume and viscosity before starting on zinc supplements.

PS - I have a long, white lab coat, freshly starched from the cleaners.

It's not enough that your avatar is batgirl, but now you mention your lab coat. Ugh. Now I'm visualizing an imaginary you transforming from mild-mannered scientist to ass-kicking caped vigilante in a skin-tight suit. That's way better than librarian-to-batgirl. I'll be distracted from my real work for the next hour!

Next you're going to tell me you wear nerdy glasses like Lisa Loeb or Zooey Deschanel (or, if you really want to distract me from work, Emma Stone) while you work in your lab coat!

I could get some nerdy glasses. I had Lasix so my glasses didn't get in the way when my mouth is stuffed.

I have dreamed of wearing a black teddy and suspender tights with heels under that white coat.

Similar to my rain coat and black fedora with red lipstick, heels and a bad Russian accent.

Damn you! I had just gotten back to work in earnest! Now I have images of nerdy glasses, a teddy, suspender tights, and heels, all under a white coat, and slightly bent at the waist while examining a semen sample under a microscope.

I have to work at least a little today!

I am sorry, sir, but this sample was compromised. We will need you to submit a fresh sample.

If you would like to collect your sample here, I can escort you to our private collection room.
We have a comfortable bench seat, videos, magazines, and toilet facilities for you.
The room is soundproof so you won't be distracted by outside noises and no one will hear you.
The room locks for privacy and the lights can be dimmed.

Please follow me.

I'm sorry, but it takes me ages to get off through masturbation, and I don't have a lot of time. Do you have a means of hastening this process?

Re-verified prior results last night. Increase in viscosity and volume noted.

I love the "scientific" turn this thread has taken. Measuring real life results against scientific study is always interesting. Especially when those scientific studies prove "inconclusive" again and again and again. LOL

But BBB is right. Changing multiple things in our diets all at once makes it hard to determine which change led to which results. Do be careful out there kiddos. If you're taking medications for other things be sure to check with your doctor to make sure a zinc supplement won't interfere with what else you're taking. I believe I mentioned that my husband (and others) reported noticing a slightly metallic taste in his mouth about two weeks after he started taking it. When he stopped taking it, he said the metallic taste went away. So don't overdue in your quests to make a big mess. Always listen to your bodies!

Zinc supplements next time i get vitamins!

I am completely fascinated with this experiment, so I am reporting my further anecdotal results.

First: I take no medications.
Second: I eat a pretty repetitive diet, and I have not been venturing out to new foods lately.
Third: Sex frequency remains the same as in my first post.

Recent observations:

• A day or two after my post from May 28, I ran out of zinc supplements. After about day three or four, saw noticeable decrease in volume and viscosity.
• About June 5 or 6, obtained and began taking more zinc supplements.
• On June 18, another large (and messy) result, with sufficient volume to require a shower for the two of us. Just an amazing "sample."

This is a fantastic amount of fun--especially obtaining the "samples." From my perspective, though anecdotal/empirical in nature, I have been pretty mindful about not changing my general diet. I took the supplements and saw an increase. I stopped taking them and noticed a decrease. I then replicated my original observations after taking the supplement again.

Thanks for sharing! I can't believe how many people have accused me of making this up without even trying it.

I know in our there's-a-pill-for-everything-first world it's hard for some people to believe something organic and natural can have such a profound effect on our bodies, but thankfully there are people like you willing to share your results and let them stand by themselves without any additional judgement.

Believe it or don't.

Try it or don't.

No loss if you try.

No gain if you don't.
