Question 1

why would a guys sperm smell like chlorine and is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The smell and taste of semen varies but the chlorene smell is common. If taste is an issue, eating asparagus makes it taste and smell bad whereas drinking some pineapple juice will sweeten the semen.

Question 2

does chlorine kill sperm that is ejaculated into a swimming pool?

Accepted Answer

Sperm in: chlorinated water won't live long at all. Don't worry, if someone ejaculates in a swimming pool - the sperm won't swim over to a female and impregnate her. However, if you are engaging in sexual intercourse while in a swimming pool - don't expect the chlorine to prevent pregnancy.

Question 3

iam trying to conceive, i swim 3times a week, does chlorine kill sperm and how far does pool water get inside. am i reducing my chances by swimming?

Accepted Answer

No: Swimming should not affect your fertility.

Question 4

does a chlorine pool kill sperm?

Accepted Answer

Sperm: No, you can't get pregnant from a swimming pool. Sperm ejaculated outside the human body likely only survive a few minutes. Ejaculate or seminal fluid dries out very quickly when outside the human body, once it is dried the sperm die almost immediately. Dissipated into pool water, a similar outcome would occur.

Question 5

if someone ejaculates in a pool where chlorine is present. everyone is wearing swim suits and is minimum 5 feet apart from each other. will the chlorine kill the sperm? is there a slight chance someone can get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy is not possible in above mentioned circumstances. Always use contraception if conceiving is not desired.

Question 6

how does sperm die?

Accepted Answer

Sperm death: Well, this is got to be one of the more unusual questions here. I'm wondering in what context you want to know. Sperm, like any living tissue requires some sort of "food or energy" to survive. We also have to remain in some form of solution and not dry out. There are formulas and chemicals that can kill sperm. Here's something you can read.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spermicide.

Question 7

what causes stringy sperm?

Accepted Answer

Stringy semen: Stringy semen is normal. Hope this helps.

Question 8

how to recover lost sperms?

Accepted Answer

Gone forever: Just like the lost hairs that fall from the scalp each day, and like the lost skin cells that flake off of the entire body each day, the many sperm that come out of the penis each day are also lost and gone forever. There is no way to recover them, but what would a guy do if he saved them? The two exceptions are:  freezing them in a sperm bank or starting a pregnancy (1 sperm "becomes" a baby).

Question 9

are sluggish sperm healthy?

Accepted Answer

Sluggish sperm: Yes, probably.  An old trick to improve sperm motility is caffeine + cough syrup  about an hour before intercourse.  It actually works!

Question 10

how to control loosing over sperms?

Accepted Answer

Premature: Ejaculation is sometimes called ill-timed ejaculation.  It is a subjective evaluation.  You may orgasm too quickly and not satisfy your partner.  If you have concerns you can see your doc or a licensed sex therapist.  It is not an illness.  Peace and good health.  Not sure if that is what you mean.  If you mean wet dreams, that's not a health problem.
