Sperm entering a female body through the mouth cannot result in pregnancy.
Here's why:
-
Digestive System, Not Reproductive: When sperm enters the mouth, it travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach contains acids and enzymes designed to break down food and other ingested substances, including sperm. The sperm is digested and absorbed like any other protein.
-
No Connection to the Reproductive System: The mouth and digestive system are not connected to the female reproductive system (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries). Fertilization requires sperm to travel through the vagina, cervix, uterus, and into the fallopian tubes to meet an egg.
-
Potential for STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections): While pregnancy is impossible, there is a risk of transmitting or contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if the sperm donor has an infection. This includes STIs like:
- Herpes
- Gonorrhea
- Chlamydia
- Syphilis
- HIV (less likely but still possible)
Oral sex is a common way to transmit some STIs.
-
Allergic Reactions (Rare): In rare cases, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to semen, known as seminal plasma hypersensitivity. Symptoms can range from mild skin irritation to more severe systemic reactions.
In summary, swallowing semen is essentially like consuming any other bodily fluid. It will be digested. The primary concern would be the potential for STI transmission, not pregnancy.
