Not for a week: If it's been a week, they're all gone by now. Their lifespan on the floor is measured in hours. Hope this helps!

A 33-year-old member asked:
If I masturbate in a swimming pool could my sperm swim up a random woman and get her pregnant?
No: Sperm will die in the swimming pool water. Only way for a woman to get pregnant in a swimming pool is to have sex in the water.

I answered this one before. My answer was that this is disgusting and you should not do it. Masturbating in privacy outside of a swimming pool will also not a woman pregnant, and is far less nasty.
