What does the body do with unused sperm?

Answer 1

Sperm can retain fertilizing capability for up to 48 hours once they have entered the female genital tract, but it's possible their lifespan is even longer. It is not known how long a sperm lasts inside the testicle.

Answer 2

This is a mystery to some people, but the answer is both normal and natural. The body absorbs unused sperm cells normally - whether or nor you've had a vasectomy. After the procedure, the testicles will continue to produce sperm, but they will not leave the body in the semen. They dissolve and are simply and naturally absorbed by the body.

Answer 3

This will eventually cause some pressure and in some cases if the production is high, it might even be "painful".

In most cases the excess sperm will only be absorbed by the body.

Some men can experience ejaculation in their sleep, but this is not due to pressure alone.

Most men have "wet dreams" at one stage sooner or later in life.

Answer 4

Mostly nothing. But if lives ones are placed in a woman's birth canal, they can swim up into her uterus, or "baby bag". If she is ovulating, that is, if one of her tiny eggs has been dropped via the Fallopian tubes into the uterus, the sperm (Full name: Spermatazoa) can unite with that egg, and, voila . . . she will have a baby 9 months later.

Answer 5

Any sperm that has been emitted from the penis will die within minutes and hours. Most sperm dies anyway and only one or two usually make it to fertilise the egg at the right time.

Answer 6

It gets recycled
