Question:
In an earlier reply, you said that sperm cannot
"cling" to shoes, and that if seman was on the
pavement, it couldn't cling unto shoes if anyone stepped in it. WHY CAN'T SPERM CLING TO SHOES?
Does it have to do with gravity or what?

Thanks for writing again to clarify. Sperm is microscopic and kept alive in the fluid semen. Sperm is fragile and unable to survive without the fluid that feeds it. Sperm then dies immediately when outside the warm, moist, dark environment and doesn't cling. IT might be inside the semen, but the semen would be spread all over, the sperm killed and since it is microscopic not even visible or alive.
Hope that helps. Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
