Does having an orgasm help baby-making?
In men, orgasm propels sperm-rich semen into the vagina and up against the cervix, helping them to arrive in the fallopian tubes minutes later. This process, known as ejaculation, gives sperm a head start on their way to the egg.
A woman's orgasm also might help conception. Some studies suggest that the wavelike contractions associated with the female O pull sperm farther into the cervix (but other research says there's no real evidence this is true).
