And doctors think that this wild combination of giving fellatio, swallowing the sperm and the fight might have led to this pregnancy.
I mean, so that is the adventure we are about to go on.
So the first thing we need is some way for the sperm to get to the egg.
And normally, the sperm has a pretty direct route through the vagina, sneak your way up the cervix, yada, yada, yada, basically home free.
But in this case, when she swallowed the sperm, it would have been stuck in her stomach.
But we had a knife, right?
But maybe we should start our Hot Wheels journey with the sperm inside the stomach, because she's just swallowed it.
Because Neil actually told us that at that point, it should have been game over.
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.
So those stomach acids are so toxic to sperm.
In one study, researchers actually looked into how different acids...
would affect sperm, whether it would immobilize or kill human sperm.
And so they mixed semen with stuff that is generally less acidic than the contents of our stomach.
And what they found was that within a minute, the sperm could no longer move.
And within 10 minutes, all the sperm were dead.
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.
