See below: Basic science: Semen, ejaculated during male sexual act, is composed of sperm and fluids from seminal vesicle and prostate gland. Alkaline characteristic of prostate fluid is quite important for successful fertilization. Sperm's motility becomes optimal when pH of surrounding fluid rises to 6.0 to 6.5. Vaginal secretions in female are acidic, pH 3.5-4.0. Ejaculate should be inside vaginal canal
