Please tell me where you learned that sperm dies the second it hits the air.....?

Question

links if you will.

If you are being taught this in s*x education classes, then I think there must be a conspiracy to get as many teens pregnant as possible.

how do you think In Vitro or sperm donation works if sperm dies the second it hits the air?

Answer 1

It doesn't. I've never even heard that...maybe teens really ARE getting more stupid!

Answer 2

It doesn't die immediately. It dies eventually.

As long as it's wet, the sperm should be considered active. Because if it's still wet, that means that millions of sperm inside haven't "hit the air" yet. If you took some of that s***n and examined it under a miscroscope, the sperm cells would still be swimming around like it was the Olympic trials.

Answer 3

I always thought they could survive for like a day on the outside of the v****a, where obviously there is air?

Answer 4

i actually heard it on t.v.    :P

Answer 5

Lol if people actually belive that the only word from me to them is NAIVE

Answer 6

God just sees you donating to the sperm bank, and says to the sperm, "I WILL LET YOU LIVE!"

Answer 7

I learned from WikiAnswers that sperm doesn't actually die the second it hits the air, despite the common misconception.

"Sperm don't die upon contact with air...I wouldn't hold up much hope for the survival of the human race if they did. There have been cases of women who have become pregnant without full intercourse as sperm have leaked at the exit. "

Answer 11

just another dangerous urban myth that can get a lot of girls pregnant

Answer 12

Yeah sperm can live 30 minutes outside the human body without scientific intervention like freezing or nutrients.
