Abstract
Little is known of the effects of various fluids secreted by accessory sex organs on functional properties and fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa. In a variety of animals, epididymal spermatozoa liberated into simple salt solutions can fertilize eggs (Whittingham, 1979). Seminal plasma may adversely influence human sperm motility (Lind- holmer, 1974; Lindholmer and Eliasson, 1974; Mann, 1964; Singh et al., 1969; Valezquez, 1977).
