Mesmerizing
"All Things bloom". Jamilare Jaimu. 2025.
For years, we’ve heard it told like a high-stakes race — millions of sperm, racing through the reproductive system like Olympic swimmers, all in a desperate dash to be the first to reach the egg. The fittest wins. The prize? Fertilization. Cue the heroic soundtrack.
But that tale? It’s mostly myth, deeply rooted in a male-centric view of reproduction.
Thanks to a 2020 study, we now know the egg isn't a passive prize at the finish line — it’s a powerful decision-maker in its own right.
Turns out, the egg and sperm communicate. The egg releases chemoattractants — specific chemical signals — that draw in preferred sperm. And for the others? She slows them down with a repelling signal. Cervical mucus, particularly L-mucus, filters out weak or low-quality sperm before they even get a chance to swim. Bye, boy.
As researcher Fitzpatrick put it:
> "Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting sperm from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting sperm from a different male…"
Translation? It’s about compatibility. It’s her body, her choice — down to a molecular level.
And once she’s made that choice and one lucky sperm starts penetrating the egg, she shuts it all down. The egg releases a chemical that causes every other sperm’s head to literally pop off. Yes — mass decapitation. No second chances. No backup winners. No maybes. Just the one she chose.
Oh, and let’s not forget the poetic ending:
Sperm? Smallest cell in the human body.
Egg? Largest.
She’s been running the show all along. It’s about time we told the story right.

William Adolphe Bouguereau (French, 1825-1905) Bacchante, 1894
Je suis toujours irrésistiblement en état d'ébriété quand je regarde les œuvres de William Bouguereau. Je ne connaissais pas "Bacchante", mais je la regarderai pendant des heures... en amour de ce sourire !

How beauty Nature is.
Daryl Hannah, Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, 1982
One of my favorite movie, evryrhing in this motion picture is mesmerizing.
The fact that this is 80 fucking years ago but still just as relevant is terrifying.
