Saliva as lube

[ThinkingofPink]

I have been trying to figure out the effect of saliva and ttc a girl. DH and I will often use oral to lube up the area before having sex and I was trying to figure out its effect on swaying. I'm confused because I read that it would sway boy because of its ph being higher but, I also read that saliva kills sperm which seems to me like it would sway girl since it would lower sperm count. On the other hand, maybe it killing sperm would kill off too many to even get pregnant easily. What do you ladies think?

I always used salavia as lube when I conceived both my girls

I don't think it'd sway much either way, and likely you won't use masses of it...?

[Kittybear]

I'll be trying this then (and DH will be pleased!!!!) xx

[ThinkingofPink]

Haha no we definitely don't use masses of it. Dloui128, I'm glad to hear you got your girls that way!

I think if it sways, (probably not much even under ideal circumstances) it sways pink because it kills sperm. Also have seen several people conceive girls using it. I don't believe in pH any more, just haven't seen the results with that.

It's not supereffective as a sperm killer, so please don't avoid it on that account. Only people who have infertility problems ever need to worry about it.
