A member asked:

Help! could swallowed sperm cause harm to your body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The enzymes in the stomach will cause the sperm to die. There is no way to get pregnant from oral sex. It is possible to transmit hpv or condyloma through oral sex. This can cause lumps on your vocal chords and hoarseness.
