Sperm Effectiveness
Posted: 09-12-05 01:44am

Ok so I think i'm asking the right question. I heard before that it takes 36 hours before sperm is effective enough to make a girl pregnant. Is this true or not? Any truth to it?

Like, 36 hours after it's been inside of her body? It does take a long time for the sperm to swim up inside of her uterus and up the fallopian tube to meet up with the egg, and that may well take 36 hours. But that's not changing the "effectiveness" of the spem; that just happens to be when it finally reaches the egg and can fertilize it.

What I mean is after the semen has come out, how long does it before its good enough to make a girl pregnant on the next time you have sex? Or if you jerk off before you have sex, does that do any sort of birth control?

No, jerking off before hand will not lower the effectiveness of your sperm, and it's definately not a form of birth control!! The next time you orgasm, the same general amount of semen comes out, right? Well, the little sperm cells swimming around in it now are just as effectve as the ones were in the load that landed in your hand.

If you have sex, each time you do it, your girl has the same chance of becoming pregnant. Semen is always potent, from the moment it exits your body.
