A member asked:
If sperm last for 3 to 5 days what happens to the sperm if you have sex before or during your period does it die or just 'hang' around for days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does not matter: It tries to swim to the place it is designed to find. The ovary. But there is no egg there and with time it dies.
