How far does sperm have to go in to fertilize an egg?
well outside of the body not far at all unless you physically put them there, they will die after 12 hours for sure and you have to physically insert it into you to get pregnant so you can't get pregnant from a toilet seat or if some gets on your leg,
6 Why can a second sperm not penetrate an already fertilized ovum?
Once a sperm penetrates the egg, changes occur on the membrane, effectively making it impenetrable to others. It is possible, however, for 2 sperms to penetrate at the same time, which could mess things up.
Why does a sperm cell have a very little cytoplasm?
Sperm have a long way to go and not very long to live so they pack light. They don't need ribosomes, roughER, Golgi apparatus, etc. They only need a sack filled with DNA, a flagellum, mitochondria to power it and a way to get into the egg if he's lucky enough to make it that far.
How does a sperm get from the oviduct to the uterus?
You have the anatomy backwards. Sperm enters the body in the vagina, then travels through the cervix to the uterus and (if they make it that far) to the oviduct (or fallopian tubes). So sperm would not travel FROM the oviduct TO the uterus because that would mean the sperm would need to start their journey at the wrong end of the anatomy. Sperm travel by means of a whip-like tail called a flagellum. Under a microscope, sperm cells look like little tadpoles wiggling their flagellum to propel themselves forward. So, basically, they swim in the seminal and vaginal fluids.

Does THC kills sperm cells?
not at all. You constantly regain millions of sperm per minute so this is something you shouldn't even worry about Although the sperm will not be killed their by THC use, their swimming patterns will be disturbed by the effects of the toxic THC chemical. They (the sperm) have been proven to swim too fast too soon to impregnate human egg cells in laboratory tests. Of course their are exceptions to any rule and those with existing sperm deficiencies may experience boosts in sperm cell production and fertility. Sperm require a burst of speed near the egg cell to effectively fertilize an egg cell. Sperm effected by THC use their speed burst too soon and too far away from the egg cell to effectively fertilize human egg cells in most tests. However individuals already stricken by sperm deficiency may experience opposite results as their sperm will gain the necessary burst required to fertilize the egg cell.
Is it ok to swalow cum is it medically good for your health?
it is OK to swallow it wont harm your body in any way. As far as medical benefits no it doesn't have any its simply just the sperm and the semen which is like sugar but it is just to keep the sperm going, in the event that it had to live to fertilize an egg.
Why does all the semen come out of my vagina after sex is there a problem with me?
No there is nothing wrong with you. Only a small proportion of sperm pass through the cervix to attempt to fertilize an egg on the other side. Most of the millions of sperm never make it that far and either come out of the vagina or are broken down inside.

Why do males produce lots of sperm?
Because the sperm are so small and have to travel so far to fertilise the egg many don't make it or die along the way. To ensure that they make it and fertilisation occurs the body then produces millions and millions of sperm; increasing the chances of fertilisation.
Does a man only have so much sperm or does the body recreate it?
A healthy man is constantly creating new sperm to meet the supply and demand. It takes just over 90 days for sperm to be produced and fully mature so there is always sperm at some level of development in his reproductive system.
What happens if he misses and sperm gets on the bed?
I'm assuming you're concerned about the sperm getting inside your vagina while sleeping or moving in bed. the chances of pregnancy this way is beyond unlikely, sperm cannot survive in that environment for very long, and even if they could they cannot get far enough into the vagina to fertilize your egg. Simply wipe up the semen with a tissue then once over with a damp cloth/tissue and you shouldn't have to worry about it.
Can husband's sperm kill female's eggs?
Not as far as I know. Even current attempts to create a birth control pill for men concentrate on killing the male sperm...not the female egg.
