Contact Lens Solution Kills Sperm?

Unread post by Terra »

Hey, few days ago my boyfriend and I were mutual mastubating (Masturbating in the same space with someone else). He did not touched my vagina at all. He handjob himself then when he was about to cum, he ejaculated on my stomach. I was wearing my underwear and shorts. I was also in a standing position. Some of the cum on my stomach were leaking towards my underwear so he quickly wiped them off using his old shirt. I think some of the cum touched my underwear.

He got panicked and ended up using his contact lens solution (ReNu) and splashed some of the solution on my stomach and then wiped them again with the same shirt.

Is the contact lens solution enough to kill the sperm? I'm sure that none of it leaked into my vagina cause at that time I was also on my period so I was wearing pantyliner, but after a few minutes, I went to the toilet to wash up and I went to pee, and after that I washed my stomach and used my shirt to dry up.

I've read that sperm are alkaline and also the contact lens solution was also alkaline. Could the contact lens solution effect the sperm to become stronger or faster?

Hi Terra,

Sperm are fragile little creatures and they need a certain set of conditions to survive that contact lens solution is not going to provide. You can read more about that here: Who's Afraid of Sperm Cells?

Thanks for replying and thanks for the article. Next, is it normal for a girl to have a pause in her menstrual cycle? for example, my period started on the thursday. Then on the saturday no period was found on my pad. Then sunday night, when i was about to take a shower, i noticed I had a heavy flow.

You're welcome :) And yes, your flow may get lighter and heavier from day to day during your period.

Okay. So If I'm not mistaken, sperm can't survive in the contact lens solution? and there is no pregnancy risk in my situation?
