ask the sexpert I am confused. I read in your column that sperm can live up to three days, but when I got my diaphragm, they told me I only had to leave it in for six to eight hours after intercourse. Please clear this up for me, as I don't want to become pregnant! Sperm can live for up to three days, but only in the uterus or the fallopian tubes. Sperm in the vagina will be unable to live longer than eight hours due to the vagina's naturally acidic environment. Your diaphragm, which blocks the entrance to the uter us, need only be left in place for six to eight hours after inter course. The contraceptive cream or jelly that should always be used with a diaphragm will kill any sperm that try to swim from the vagina into the uterus. If you use your diaphragm correctly, and always insert more contraceptive cream or jelly with repeated intercourse, there is only a 2 percent chance that you would get pregnant within a year’s time. What exactly do the clear drops of pre-ejaculation fluid contain? The fluid secreted by men prior to ejaculation is an alkaline substance. It is evident at the tip of the penis as a drop of clear, sticky material. This pre-ejaculatory fluid is released by the cowpers glands, located below the prostrate gland on either side of the urethra. The fluid helps to remove any urine that may be present in the urethra. It also functions in neutralizing the acidic environment of the vagina. Pre-ejaculatory fluid may contain fertilizing sperm, and therefore could cause a pregnancy. However, there is evidence that a pregnancy is more likely to occur with repeated intercourse, as there will be more sperm present in the second pre-ejaculatory fluid. Reagan says he s still in pain WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres. Reagan says he’s still suffering pain from his gunshot wound March 30, and while the episode seems unreal to this day, he wonders, too, why he wasn’t attacked “27 times before." In an interview Wednesday, his first with reporters since the assassination attempt outside a Washington hotel, Reagan dis closed that his first thought •when he heard the gunfire was "to take a look” around. But the nearest Secret Service agent, he noted, "had a different idea." When he finally realized he had been wounded, he said, it was "the most parlyz ing pain, as if someone hit me with a hammer.” That sensation did not occur until he was in his limousine and speeding away from the scene, the president said. "It still seems unreal,” he said, Reagan said he continued to suffer from what doctors told him was "one of the longest enduring discomforts” because of his type of injury. “It doesn’t go away,” he said. "There is that pain.” Wearing a blue-gray suit, Reagan walked with a steady although slightly stiff gait as he entered the Map Room in the White House for the 19-minute interview. Can semen that has been ejaculated outside the vagina and then either rubbed into the skin or left to dry cause a pregnancy? Semen that has been depos ited outside and away from the vagina — whether rubbed into the skin or left dry — cannot cause a pregnancy unless the wet semen is then transferred to the vaginal opening, on a per son’s finger, for example. However, semen ejaculated on the outer lips of the vagina can cause a pregnancy without ever entering the vagina. Sperm contained in the semen have been known to find their way just outside the vagina into the fallopian tubes where fertiliza tion occurs. Couples who use withdrawal as their method of birth control would do well to keep this in mind. This column is written by Planned Parenthood, 134 E. 13th Ave, 344-1611.
