Question 1

can you tell if sperm is fertile based on its consistancy? like liquid clear flowing sperm vs thick white tacky sperm?

Accepted Answer

No: Actually the consistency of sperm is not really related to the sperm count or movement or even quality. It is more related to hydration status and sometimes even diet.

Question 2

masturbating 5 times a day for several years in tennage had made my semen very  thin,very less white and less in amount. than i reduced my frequency and now my semen is very thick and white. am i normal in terms of sperm count and fertility?

Accepted Answer

No worries yet: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It is not harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause acne or hair loss, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage vision.

Question 3

hi... my husband sperm is 40 million .. is it good for fertility? i have been married since 2 years and still i m not getting pregnant. thx

Accepted Answer

OK with 40...: Sperm count alone is ok, but sperm motility and form are important also.

Concerning infertility, generally speaking, causes in females are counted  for 50 % of times; in males, 30 %; and 20% from both men and women.

You're still young so just try for another one year. If in doubt, go to see and talk with your doctors in the field.

Best wish...

Question 4

can precum pass through both 1 layer of underwear and 1 layer of thin shorts (total 2 layers of cloth) and still contain fertile sperms? how long will sperms in precum will survive outside and does they lose their ability to swim after touching cloth?

Accepted Answer

: Sperm cannot pass through fabric. Even semen would be no risk for pregnancy, and for pre-ejaculate fluid there is no chance at all. Don't worry about it.

Question 5

can sperm get through condom & 4 layers of clothes and still be fertile to get a girl preg? can they find the way to vagina by themselves?

Accepted Answer

No, and No!: The answer in "No" to both of your questions.  Sperm don't have a brain and cannot "swim" toward the vagina. There is no chemical or magnetic attraction:  they pretty much need to be deposited into the vagina.  And fertilization is more of a random act when an active motile sperm encounters an ovum ("egg").

Question 6

how long does sperm (from precum) in the mouth stay fertile if you wash the mouth with water after oral sex? kissing+cunnilingus still dangerous then?

Accepted Answer

No, should be : fine, no risk from this, for pregnancy

Question 7

been trying conceive & u had sex 2 days ago on my fertile days but i'm not ovulate yet. how long sperm alive inside of my uterus? can i still get preg

Accepted Answer

Sperm can stay alive: from 3-5 days inside the vaginal vault/ uterus.  The best method of conception is via ovulation charting, which uses the body's basal temperature rise that correlate with ovulation to predict when you will ovulate each month.  This method sidesteps the irregularity built into many women's menstrual cycle.  Then maximize the sperm contact with ovulation 3 days before and 3 days after.  Best of luck

Question 8

how to increase sperm fertility naturally

Accepted Answer

Let's see: Wear boxers not briefs.  Stay out of hot tubs.  Have a healthy lifestyle of good diet, exercise, plenty of fluids and a multivitamin daily.  Keep a good mental health and have a good safe sex health.

Question 9

Question 10

how long does sperm last if you're not fertile?
