Sperm Racing: what happens when men shine a light on reproductive health

Sperm Racing: what happens when men shine a light on reproductive health.

Seventeen-year-olds aren’t supposed to be filling arenas with giant screens where people watch sperm compete on a racetrack. But somehow, that’s exactly what’s happening. And as strange as it sounds, it makes perfect sense.

‍Sperm Racing is a reflection of the culture we’re living in, where taboos don’t stand a chance, where science and meme collide, and where the things we once kept private are now staged as entertainment.

For decades, reproductive health has been marketed almost entirely to women. Men were left out of the conversation, even though their role is equal. Now, projects like this show the door is finally opening. Men want in, but the entry point isn’t a sterile clinic. It’s consumer culture.

That’s the bigger story here. Men are ready to engage with their health when it feels familiar, approachable, even fun. If fitness trackers can measure our steps and apps can optimize our sleep, why shouldn’t sperm health be next?

The only question is which brand will be bold enough to build it.
