If you reverse the polarity, do the sperm go backwards? |

Silverwing was referring to this news story.
Chris - I'm not sure if they tested that, but my thought would be probably not because they're turning the sperm from something that’s inactive to something that’s active. But it’s a good thought! |

It seems like a hot topic in a way I guess. :) Anyway, I thought I would help out to some degree if I can. Sperm will not swim the other way as some may think. What does take place though is if a male thinks his mate is cheating on him with his sperm within the female after intercourse the sperm will take a life of its own and act upon the the 'foreign' sperm and repel the 'new sperm' from getting into the egg area in order to impregnate. In a way, the sperm is programmed from the original donor who may be thinking his girl is cheating on him. Simply put i guess.
