The more brothers you have, the faster your sperm swims

Men with more brothers than sisters are likely to have faster swimming sperm and greater fertility, a study suggests.

They found that men who mostly had brothers had faster sperm than those with mostly sisters. The finding was published in the 'Asian Journal of Andrology'.
