Does water wash away sperm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While bathing can wash away some of the semen on the outside your vagina, it won't affect the sperm inside it. These sperm swim quickly to the uterus.

External Washing:
- Water can wash away sperm from the skin or external genital areas effectively.
-
Inside the Body:
- Once sperm enters the vagina, water or washing does not remove or kill it. Sperm can travel into the cervix and uterus, where water cannot reach.
-
Pregnancy Risk:
- Washing with water after intercourse is not a reliable method to prevent pregnancy.
For concerns about pregnancy or contraception, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate advice and options.

I've been wondering about the effects of masturbating three times a week. Is there any truth to the idea that it could lower memory or weaken the brain? I'm just kinda worried and want to know if that's possible.
No, masturbating three times a week does not lower memory or weaken the brain. Its a normal and healthy activity unless it interferes with your daily life. If youre feeling fatigued or stressed, it could be due to other factors like poor sleep, diet, or stress levels.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?
