  I've heard the opposite; I believe from multiple sources. I'm fairly confident that the girls live longer and the boys go faster.

  I think whoever added it to the websitegot confused and typed it wrong.  I have always heard the opposite and on the program lastnight they stated the opposite too.  I remember they said it because I remarked to DH that they had it wrong on their website.

  So I missed the "Sizing up sperm" last night but wanted to see when else it was on next so I looked it up and it said next sunday (if anyone was wondering) but on the facts it said
  
  "X and Y sperm are produced in almost equal numbers; girls (X) are thought to be faster, but boys (Y) live longer, so the race is wide open."
  
  I always thought it was the opposite... has anyone heard anything about it?
  
  
  

  I've always heard the opposite too.  boys are faster - girls live longer.

  I think on the show they said the opposite....girls longer, boys faster.  And if you watched they had the boy sperms ahead as they were running towards the cervix.

  That's interesting that it's similar to stats on adult males having a shorter life expectancy than women too. 

  Makes me think of that "Waiting on a Woman" country song.

  Yeah, I've always heard the opposite too. What they have completely goes against the theory of the Shettles method where you would have sex closer to O for a boy because they are faster but die quicker.

   

  This exactly.  And I have been teaching Child Development for quite some time.

  I think they must of wrote it wrong. In the show i'm pretty sure they said girls live longer but boys swim faster.
