This is perhaps one of Jamaica most famous myth, hot a temped boyfriend utter word of this nature in an attempt to get some at the beach or pool or any large body of water they find themselves in. but is it true? Sexing Jamaica has done research on this topic and the results may surprise you.

It is taught in sex education classes that anytime sperm and penetration coincide there is a possibility of getting pregnant. It is possible for a woman to get pregnant without even having sexual intercourse, but the sperm has to reach the egg in order for her to become pregnant. Good now that class is out of the way can this actually happen?

The Chemical Facts

No one on Sexing Jamaica staff was willing to go to a beach and test this theory in a real life scenario, but according to William Richards a studying scientist at the University of the West Indies Jamaica, Faculty of Pure and Applied Science, The pH of seminal fluid is roughly between pH 7.2-7.8 based on diet and health situations, ok William what’s pH again?. Lets go back to class.

The pH (power of Hydrogen) of a solution is determined by measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions and is measured on a scale from 0 to 14. A solution with a high concentration of hydrogen ions is acidic, with a pH between 0 and 7. A solution with a large number of hydroxyl ions is an alkaline or basic solution with a pH ranging from 7 to 14 (Greene, 1998). Survival of living organism on a pH level is dependent on the compatibility of their pH balance.

The Verdict

Ocean water generally has a PH between 8 and 9 and is, therefore, if the pH of the salt water no preferably ocean water (PH 8.0 - 9.0) is comparable to the PH of seminal fluid (PH 7.2 - 7.8), then the chance of survival does exist. In this case they are not, so sperm will die in ocean water. But guys don’t go celebrating just yet cause we both know your sperm are not interested in the salt water.

So there you have the science behind it sperm can't live in ocean water but its important to remember that most important rule from sex education classes. Anytime sperm and penetration coincide there is a possibility of getting pregnant. And based on this site of argument we deemed the myth exactly what it is. A MYTH
