Question 1

does water kill sperm due to osmotic shock?

Accepted Answer

Osmotic shock: Sperm could not live in water for a prolonged period of time. But having sex under water does not prevent pregnancy.

Question 2

does hot water (like shower water) kill sperm when it is ejaculated? and is on a girls stomach (cum)?

Accepted Answer

Sperm: Not necessarily , but once sperm has been ejaculated they rapidly die so if you wash them off your abdominal wall, this should be sufficient unless they were close to the entrance to your vagina which could be dangerous if you had unprotected sex.

Question 3

can drinking water kill sperm in someones mouth?

Accepted Answer

Water: It will aid in flushing the sperm from your mouth and into your stomach where they can be digested.

Question 4

can eating fries with ketchup cesar salad and grapefruit and drinking water kill sperm in the mouth.

Accepted Answer

Why does it matter?: The sperm present in the mouth are not going to fertilize anything. Moreover, as soon as sperm is swallowed, the stomach acid will neutralize it  and send it on the way to the gastrointestinal "food processor" for absorption or elimination.

Question 5

does hot sink water kill sperm on the hands  when you wash them and can sperm transfer from the hands to other surfaces and cause pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: Hot water and soap would kill sperm on hands, and water itself may do the job if wiped well. But pregnancy would require the sperm to be deposited deep in the vagina, when the female was fertile. You have pregnancy anxieties, please get education on birth prevention techniques for male and female, so you can enjoy sexuality without this added stress. Good luck

Question 6

assuming protected sex, ejaculation on her back, removing sperm by having a shower, can pregnancy occur in such scenario? does water kill sperm?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Sperm must be deposited in the vagina for pregnancy to occur.  Water does not "kill" sperm, nor is it a reliable way to "remove" it.  If you did not have vaginal sex without a condom, and no sperm entered your partner's vagina, pregnancy is extremely unlikely.  You may still expose each other to STD's, however.

Question 7

can cold water kill sperm in mouth? im worried because my partner might get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No research on it: Saliva could kill sperm (pretty much anything could kill sperm). Haven't seen any research studies on cold water, saliva, and sperm. Such research would be hard to make sense of, because there would be too many variables, such as:  how much saliva, how many sperm, how much water, how cold the water, etc...  There will always be unknowns in life, except that life can be full of surprises.

Question 8

can sperm from the hands transmit to other objects and then cause pregnancy when someone touches the object or surfaces that contain the sperm? also, does very hot tap water not kill sperm because i read that only cold water kills sperm?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Pregnancy occurs when viable sperm enter the vaginal canal and contact a receptive egg. Too many variables in your post to give you a more concise answer.

Question 9

can regular tap water kill sperm on hands without soap? will it still cause pregnancy if touched the vagina after washing and hands still wet?

Accepted Answer

Unprotected exposure: While unlikely, this could certainly result in pregnancy.  Presumably you understand that the possibility of introducing sperm to the vagina introduces the possibility of pregnancy.

Question 10

can washing hands with soap and water kill sperm instantly? will it still cause pregnancy if touch the vagina right after washing(hands still wet)?

Accepted Answer

Soap: Soap and water should wash sperm from skin. Thus if hands were washed and well rinsed - this should not lead to pregnancy.
