So I'm reading an article on tips to increase fertility. Number 3: Take anti-histamines to thin out the cervical fluid and make it easier for the sperm to swim through it. Number 9: Drink grapefruit juice to thicken the cervical fluid and make it easier for the sperm to stick!
Sheesh. Does nobody actually read these things before posting them?

Female fertility, and how to avoid it is always pertinent.

People swim the same speed in liquids of varying viscocities. I imagine it's the same with sperm.

I don't think this is at all obvious. Liquids behave very differently at cellular scales; applying lessons from the human-sized dynamics is a practically guaranteed way to get it wrong.
