this has probably been discussed before but i'm new to the board so if so, i apologize....if a guy gets off in a hot tub is it dangerous? can the little guys swim? i'm on the pill but i swear it doesn't work because my period comes whenever it wants. is that anything to worry about?

Heat and chemicals would probably take care of the sperm if he ejaculated into the water.

As for your pills, have you checked with your doctor about the irregularity? Are you sure it's your period? It could be break-thru bleeding. If you're taking the pills correctly, they should work, but if you're bleeding when you shouldn't be, then you need to see your doctor about it.

It's foolhardy to rely on the pills if you're thinking they aren't working!

Remember in a hot tub the water is quite hot 104 F or more. Plus it is treated with chemicals like chlorine and the pH is quite adverse to sperm living more. The temperature would kill any sperm not to mention the chlorine and the pH. Even if you are nude in the hot there absolutely no way they could impregnate you. So there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

As a guy, I'm sure that the heat and chlorine would take care of any problems but on a side note, I have a question of my own. In my experiences with semen and tap water, the semen gets extremely sticky when it comes into contact with the water. I mean semen is usually kinda sticky anyway but trying to use water to wash it off is a complete waste of time because it seems like water makes it turn into super glue or something. I say "usually sticky" because I would characterize it as slimy more than sticky, unless water is added. So am I the only person that this happens to or is it the same with everyone? Thanks.
