Yes in a way. A woman's body views sperm as and outside invader and will attack and kill it as the body would a virus or bacteria. The trick semen has is in their numbers. Millions of sperm are released in each ejaculation, probably too many for a woman's body to kill at once.

Ok, there is some truth in what you have heard, however it seems like it has been in a lot of mouths! A woman's vagina has a lot of acid in it, and it is meant for attacking bacteria, infections etc, to keep your vagina and cervix clean, sperm is an organism unknown to the woman's body so the acids in your vagina attack the sperms, BUT the semen (liquid in which sperms swim) protects the sperms from being killed, so what happens is that once the semen is inside of you the semen sponges in its attempt to protect the sperms, once that happens, the sperms can swim freely to your egg. I hope I used easy words.

To intricate extra on Jim's reaction. The placenta acts as a blood barrier between the mum and fetus. this ability that the mum and fetus do no longer share the comparable blood. The fetus could have A+ blood form and the mum could have A-. to that end if there have been no blood barrier the mum might produce antibodies to the fetus's blood. The antibodies might then attack the fetus's crimson blood cells, in fact destroying them. via destroying the crimson blood cells the fetus might have not have been given any way of transporting considered necessary food and oxygen. The fetus might then die. inspite of the undeniable fact that this recent day, the mum might recieve scientific treatment referred to as Rhogam. this might preclude the mum from development antibodies. inspite of the undeniable fact that, it many times would not flow this a approaches via placenta. Like I mentioned till now the placenta acts as a blood barrier. this ability that the mothers blood (which consists of aspects of the immune equipment) would not enter into the fetus's blood flow. So the sole element exchanged on the placenta is food and oxygen, and likewise the removal of waste products from the fetus. see you later tale short, the placenta prevents the mothers immunde equipment from attacking the fetus.

They get through if the cervix is ripe, but sometimes a body will detect them as foreign and attack them. Sometimes you can have an inhospitable uterus, which basically doesn't want anything in there!

Yes it is a foreign body in your body and your imune system may attack it. But by sheer volume the little swimmers will make it through.

well not in the way you put it but
yeah in a way it can.
i mean as the sperm swim in, some die off, and some of them die cause the vaginal secretions may be too acidic

Yes. In certain extreme situations it can (extreme emotional and physical trauma but it is not guaranteed), I wouldn't count on it.
