I am going to ask a very stupid question......., .?

Question

we all know.... when a man ejaculates....... it shoots straight up into the womans vagina..into the cervix...and then nature does it's thing.
And we (women) have all complained about the "extra" semen that oozes down after he ejaculates......my very stupid question is........ ( and trust me.... I have thought about this before coming on Yahoo answers)..... what happens to the sperm that is supposedly swimming inside of us for days... waiting for an egg to fertilize???? Out of all these billions of sperms inside of us... only one .... maybe two get the job done.... but what happens to the rest of them?? I know they die off...... but where do these dead sperms go.... LOL !!!

I really would like a serious answer for this !!! Thanks a bunch !! 8)

Answer 1

Your body washes itself out. It comes out with the regulare "discharge" that we have.

Answer 2

Hi

The sperm that actually make it up into the cervix and then on into the uterus and fallopian tubes travel not via semen, but swim through your normal cervical mucus and secretions.

Semen itself is only a fluid that nourishes and supports the sperm travelling out of his body and into yours. Once the sperm enter the female they take up residence in the female partner's own fluids and swim their way to their target - the egg. Most of the semen leaves the woman's body pretty much straight away as anyone who has had to sleep in the wet spot can well attest to.

This is why at ovulation, your cervical mucus becomes clear, plentiful and runny and generally sperm friendly. Sperm can swim through this type of mucus with ease. Mucus at other times of the month is usually cloudier, stickier and lower on volume and of a different ph, so it is not sperm friendly - the sperm cannot swim through it, it will not nourish the sperm and the altered ph level can even be hostile to sperm, so they don't survive very long anyway.

Sperm themselves are microscopic. Of the millions that are released at ejaculation, only a few thousand actually make it through the cervical mucus and even less up into the fallopian tubes - these ones are the strongest swimmers, longest survivors and are usually the healthiest, ensuring the best quality sperm are the ones that compete to fertilise the egg.

Sperm that die without fertlising an egg (and lets face it - that is by far and away usually all of them) just die in the mucus, so to speak, and are discharged as per normal. They are so miniscule you couldn't see them anyway, and even in a normal ejaculate, which is a few spoonfuls of fluid, all of the millions of sperm would only fit on the head of a pin. They are unbelievably small. The rest of the ejaculate is just fluid.

I hope this answers your question!

Answer 3

They just get cleaned out naturally. And sperm will die before 48 hours are up after exiting the male body.

Answer 4

Well I think the your body gets rid of all the unused sperm on it's own the same way it gets rid of the unused egg at the end of the month!

Answer 5

LOL

they are probably just absorbed by the body or come out in your discharge.

Answer 6

They actually just die within 3 days and some will stay in the fallopian tubes...but most will just disinigrate

Answer 7

Good question my guess is your natural lubrication and vagina cleans it out by itself. I think it actually go's into your body like into your blood stream or skin.

Answer 8

Lol, I think it just gets flushed out and absorbed - YUCK now that you made me think of this..... I know after sex it's kinda drippy (sorry about my ultra-technical vocabulary) for almost a day for me, lol.....

Answer 9

i am pretty sure those dead sperm are excreted through our bodies. Through either urine or discharge or something like that. i am pretty sure of it :)

Answer 10

I thought they got absorbed by the body (????)
