Research also claims that the egg attracts the sperm through some chemical secretions. However, the sperm takes at least 15 minutes to reach the egg. At any ejaculation a hundred thousand sperms are flushed out. Out of these only a few reach the urethra and only one breaks the egg.

Sperm can live up to 5 days, but generally live 2 days. It's best that the sperm is present when the egg is released because once it's released, it only survives about 24 hours. The sperm also has to fertilize the egg in the tube or it won't implant in the womb.

No body really knows the exact time. There is a difference between X chromosome sperm and Y chromosome sperm.
X is slower but lives longer, Y is quicker and shorter lived.
If you have sex at the time of ovulation then there is more chance that you will conceive a boy. If you have sex two days before ovulation the chances are higher that you will have a girl.

Sperm can live up to 5 days after ejaculation;
Swimming time cany vary according to whether they are straight shooters or lollygaggers...minutes or hours. I guess they figure they might as well hang out for while:}.

I just read in my pregnancy magazine, that it takes about 10 hours for the sperm to reach the egg, but they can live for up to 48 hours. I also read the the girl sperm is faster than the boy sperm. So if you want to have a boy, you should have sex the day before you are suppose to ovulate. I thought that was interesting.

the sperm can live for up to 72 hours once inside. If it doesn't fertilize the egg by then it dies.

If you've ever been disillusioned into thinking that there's nothing you can do to prevent premature ejaculation and that it's just something "you're born with" or "can't do anything about" then hopefully this will change your mind and inspire you https://tr.im/7rB3R
Because the truth is that there are many ways to prevent premature ejaculation, and being able to last longer in bed is something that lies within your control.

The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV) defines premature ejaculation as a persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on or shortly after penetration and before a person wishes. Wow, that’s not a sexy definition. Personally, I define it as you come quicker than you or your partner wants. Luckly this is a great solution for premature ejaculation https://tr.im/770b8
