Does chlorine in swimming pools kill sperm??????

[smellymelly]

I'm sorry if this has been done before but can chlorine kill the little buggers??

[hmb]

Possible I suppose, but I doubt that it would be that effective, since it has to be at a low enough level so that it doesn't harm out cells.

I wouldn't rely on it as a form of contraception

Have no idea smellymelly, but you obviously live a far more exciting life than me

Oh my god - you mean I could get pregnant with a complete stranger in our local pool????

Intrigued to know why the question? I've managed a few exciting places but not a public swimming pool.

I've been wondering that, SM, since my mum told me about this incident in a hotel near her. Apparently there was an old man on his own in the jacuzzi. Someone else went into the suite and noticed that there were some...er...hand actions going on in the jacuzzi water. She informed the staff and apparently, the man was doing what she suspected. He turned out to be a vicar and was very apologetic, explaining that the warm water and bubbles had reaches the parts Mrs Vicar hadn't reached for years. The hotel had to drain, disinfect and refill the pool.

Yeeeuck! Thanks for giving me the horrendous image of some strange bloke's sperm floating around my local pool as unsuspecting swimmers bob around...
