Sperm Question Posted: 03-04-07 00:17am


Ya, i have some question about sperm. I heard that saliva can kill sperm. Is it really can kill sperm? And if during oral sex, will this kill the sperm? Another question is that if there is no ewcm, can we use egg white instead? is there any harm?

If you are asking if you can get pregnant through oral sex then the answer is no. Im not exactly sure what ewcm stands for so i cant answer the 2nd question....sorry!

i'm pretty sure that saliva does not kill sperm.. & i don't know why you would want to use actual egg whites.. or what you'd want to use them for.. but i guess there would be no harm in it...?

ewcm means egg white cervical mucus What i mean is that have sex after oral sex, that means there is saliva left inside the vagina. Will saliva kill the sperm? That is the information that i get from the web. I don't know whether it is true or not.

.me either... lol.

but no, i don't believe that saliva will kill sperm. there isn't going to be that much saliva in your vagina after oral sex... & .you can definitely still get pregnant.

No your not being gross but I guess ive never heard of someone using egg whites as lube! You can use vaseline (not sure if you have it in the country you are in), its a very greasy product that you put on the guys penis so it goes in you easier and it doesnt hurt as much....... if you dont mind me asking, have you ever had sex before??

This if forum from http://www.b abynamesworld.com/forum/topic74224.html heathernlogan04 Senior member Joined: 02 Aug 2005 Posts: 571 Location: Fort Benning, Georgia Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 5:16 pm Post subject: ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- Its just suggesed that you dont use those forms of lube! It can cause Sperm to die off and most women who are TTC and having trouble dont want to really take the risk! As long as you dont come in full contact with it you should be good. Yet more than half of couples trying to conceive also deal with the usual problems of skin & vaginal dryness, and logically turn to sexual lubricants or saliva to solve that problem. Yet scientific research is pretty clear in showing that many sexual lubricants impair not only the movement, but also the survival of sperm. The most important features of sperm fertility success are staying alive and the ability to move around. For this they’ll need: a basic pH environment (or in gardening lingo, lime [basic] not sweet [acidic]), a moderate amount of food (glucose is preferred over fruit sugars), the perfect amount of salts (aka osmolality), a liquid-y swimming fluid, aka semen (too dry makes it too sticky, and too concentrated makes the semen toxic), no alcohol (dissolves their membranes), and should we say, a little bit of lovin’? Commonly available sexual lubricants such as KY, Astroglide, & Replens have all been shown to stop sperm in their tracks, and kill sperm after an hour's time in the pool. Even that natural stand-by, saliva, decreases sperm movement and progression. There is more on the following page.... http://www.a-womans-touc h.com/article/2/177/Conception_and_Sexual_ Lubricants.html Hope this helps answer your Questions and concerns somewhat! Heather

So your trying to concieve?? To be honest, I think alot of that is a myth, ive never heard that it can kill sperm, there is nothing in them to kill the sperm :S But only use what you feel comfortable with. Goodluck!!
