Basically, the alkaline pH of the seminal fluid is to protect the sperm. This is necessary for a couple of reasons:
- The vagina is slightly acidic, while the sperm are made to be in an alkaline environment. If they had no alkaline protection from the semen itself, they'd die when they hit the vagina, which kills the entire (evolutionary) point of having sex.
- Urine is acidic, and there's often some leftovers from some previous peeing in the urethra. The semen neutralizes the urine, lettin gthe sperm go through without dying.
Semen is not very alkaline and it is normally close to neutral or pH 7.5. This will somewhat neutralize the pH of the vagina.
WHO criteria specify normal as pH7.2-7.8. Acidic ejaculate (lower pH value) may indicate one or both of the seminal vesicles are blocked. A basic ejaculate (higher pH value) may indicate an infection.
Vaginal pH is a measure of the acidity of the vaginal environment and in healthy women vaginal pH is typically 3.5 to 4.5.
To balance the somewhat acidic environment of the female reproductive tract and increase the chances of fertilization.
To combat the acidic environment in the vagina/vaginal canal
if it is not in alkaline medium d sperm would die and cannot give fertility
Female vagina is acidic. So it is important
Alkaline semen neutralizes the acidic environment in the vagina. It creates a neutral pH.
A woman's vagina is alkaline (acidic). A man's semen is basic.
The normal pH of semen is 7.2-8.0 so somewhat alkaline.
Semen has a Ph of about 7.2-8.0, making it slightly base on the Ph scale. It is important to remember that the higher the number, the lower the acidity and the more basic the substance will be.
Prostate secretions are part of what makes up semen. Yes, it is alkaline to offset the acidity of the vagina, thus giving the sperm a better chance of survival once they enter the vagina.
hi >< i love this site some what thank you your newest member

Semen has a Ph of about 7.2-8.0, making it slightly base on the Ph scale. It is important to remember that the higher the number, the lower the acidity and the more basic the substance will be.
The seminal vesicle provides nutrients and energy for the sperm as well as providing compounds that make sperm alkaline, which helps the sperm survive the highly acidic environment of the vagina. The prostate makes semen even more alkaline
Prostate gland
It is an Alkaline fluid that is released in the semen to resist the acidity of the vagina

The 2 most important alkaline earth metals are Calcium and Magnesium

it is so important to the gods because the wine tastes like semen. and gods love to drink semen.
