Q: will sperm ejaculated by a man in sea water survive and maybe or possibly can cause pregnancy to a woman swimming nearby?

It will not: Sperm will die in contact with sea water &amp; certaily can not survive to enter a woman's vagina. However, a woman can get pregnant if she indulges in unprotected sex whilst in water

No: It would ba an immaculate conception!! Not possible. Sperm in sea water may live for a short period of time, but will not " find their way home"
