Sperm Leaking Out After Intercourse- Lessons in Sperm Transport Through the Cervix
Q: Why does sperm leak out sometimes and not others? Does it mean the cervix is closed? Or there is more sperm sometimes than other times? If a lot leaks out, does that mean there was a lot of sperm? Is there any way to prevent it from leaking?
A: In a 5 yr study of 11 women (Baker & Bellis, 93), sperm loss after intercourse ("flow back") was observed- Flow back occurred 94% of the time, with an average loss of 35% of the sperm. It is totally normal and is not a sign that there is anything wrong. It is more pronounced the larger the ejaculate volume, and remember ejaculate quantity is impacted by "how turned on" your husband is. So if you have a great session, or it has been awhile seeing doing the deed, there will be more.
The sperm that penetrate into the cervical mucus begin to do so within 1.5 min, and they are pretty much done by 30 minutes, with no gain in sperm numbers in the cervical mucus or Fallopian tubes after 45 min from intercourse. Only thousands of the millions of sperm ejaculated in the vagina make it to the cervix and only hundreds of these make it to the Fallopian tube!
The very best of the best get there, the rest get washed out- it is OK!
