Best Answer

Nature wants you to reproduce, the vagina is a somewhat hostile place for sperm trying to survive, and they have a distance to travel, if only one sperm at a time was released from ejaculation then the chances of getting pregnant would be virtually nil and the human race would die out.

Also sperm die after a time even in the scrotum so they are continually replaced.

Because the vagina, fallopian tubes and uterus are a somewhat hostile environment and most of the sperms are inactivated or killed before they reach the ovum.

If he meets all of this criteria, he is considered fertile. This is tested after 3 days of no sexual activity.
