Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

And doctors think that this wild combination of giving fellatio, swallowing the sperm and the fight might have led to this pregnancy.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

What?

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

I mean, so that is the adventure we are about to go on.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

All right.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

So the first thing we need is some way for the sperm to get to the egg.

Science Vs

And normally, the sperm has a pretty direct route through the vagina, sneak your way up the cervix, yada, yada, yada, basically home free.

Science Vs

But in this case, when she swallowed the sperm, it would have been stuck in her stomach.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

But we had a knife, right?

Science Vs

But maybe we should start our Hot Wheels journey with the sperm inside the stomach, because she's just swallowed it.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

Right.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

Because Neil actually told us that at that point, it should have been game over.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

Yeah, so he's just shocked, and other doctors we reached out to as well, shocked that it would have survived the stomach at all.

Science Vs

So those stomach acids are so toxic to sperm.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

In one study, researchers actually looked into how different acids...

Science Vs

would affect sperm, whether it would immobilize or kill human sperm.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

And so they mixed semen with stuff that is generally less acidic than the contents of our stomach.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

And what they found was that within a minute, the sperm could no longer move.

Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

And within 10 minutes, all the sperm were dead.

Science Vs

So based on that study, the odds of the sperm surviving the stomach were perhaps even less than the odds of this woman not having a vagina.

Here's Neil.
