6 Things You Didn't Know About Men And Sex [With Questions]

Hey, not MY headline!
Except for the Questions part, it comes from Huffpoo, aka The Clickbait Gazette:

On average, men experience about 22 seconds of mind-numbing bliss, which is four seconds longer than the typical female orgasm. Surprised?
Again, those are averages: Each orgasm is different, and some can involve bonus thrills, while others seem to be over in a New York minute (i.e. less than 18 to 22 seconds).
Regularly practicing Kegel exercises can buy both genders a few extra seconds of pleasure, says Kristen Mark, Ph.D., a sex and relationships researcher and assistant professor at the University of Kentucky.
The average ejaculation consists mostly of a teaspoon's worth of fluid, but only about 2 to 5 percent of that may be sperm. The rest is made up of everything the sperm needs for its long and treacherous journey. Seminal fluid has also been found to contain natural mood enhancers like serotonin, cortisol, prolactin, oxytocin, and estrone, as well as the sleep-aid melatonin. Researchers from the University of Albany raised eyebrows a few years ago when they published a study suggesting that because of semen's unique properties, women who had unprotected sex might be happier than those who had sex with condoms or abstained completely.More on that latter topic separately.
Question: Does everyone practice their Kegels faithfully?
Question: In terms of tasting the ejaculate, can you distinguish semen content from sperm content? Or is the main difference (not in effect on reproduction!) only in appearance?
