Medical Video: Fertilization (Conception)
Many ask, is it possible for pregnant women to get sperm attached to their pants? Or use the same towel to wipe the vagina but there are cum marks? Is it true that after the sperm penetrates the fabric, can it still be fertilized?
Can sperm penetrate the fabric and cause pregnancy?
In the medical world, it is very unlikely that sperm can penetrate clothing and then move into the vagina. A woman can get pregnant when sperm cells fertilize an egg. The union of sperm and egg cells is known as fertilization. During sexual intercourse a man has to ejaculate, which is to excrete semen when the penis is in the vagina, because it allows sperm to move from the cervix to the fallopian tube to meet the egg. It is important to note that if ejaculation does not occur, pregnancy is not possible.
What if a man ejaculates?
For some couples, there are also those who still wonder about the risk of pregnancy if a man ejaculates outside the vagina, or maybe even if wet pants are exposed to semen. In these cases, there is really no reason to panic.
Men have billions of sperm that can ejaculate at one time, which is sometimes the possibility of ejaculation occurring outside the vagina and being exposed to clothing. Then what if the sperm swim from the cervix to the oviduct which then finds the egg to be fertilized? In fact this is very unlikely. Although there are many unwanted pregnancies, this is not the cause.
Another important thing to understand is that ejaculation during masturbation is different when ejaculating after you insert and remove the penis from the vagina. If you and your partner are not pregnant or don't use contraception during sexual intercourse, this can lead to pregnancy even if you don't ejaculate in the vagina. This happens when the sperm contains enough semen but you don't realize it is dripping in the partner's vagina even in small amounts, making it possible to cause pregnancy.
How long can sperm survive after ejaculation?
In a woman's body
In a perfect environment in a woman's body, sperm can survive for only five days. However, generally sperm die in the first days after entering the vagina because they cannot survive. They will start swimming after being stored in the woman's vagina, then move through the cervix to reach the uterus. What's more, a woman's body produces mucus to make it easier for them to swim to find eggs. Sperm can swim in a woman's body for 4-5 hours.
Outside of a woman's body
Sperm can survive anywhere from 20 minutes to 60 minutes outside the body. Its survival depends on lighting into the air and environmental factors. After the sperm comes out of the body, the possibility of being affected by the surrounding environment is very large. This makes sperm useless when the semen has dried up after ejaculation. So if there are clothes or towels that have semen spots and then have direct contact with the female vagina, it is very small and almost impossible if the sperm can enter the vagina.
