The vaginal environment is biologically a very hostile place for the sperm. The acidity in the vagina rapidly immobilizes sperm and makes them dysfunctional. The first level of protection that the sperms get is by the man's coagulum. After ejaculation, sperm are protected by the coagulum formed from a man's semen. But this is a very short period of time. During this time, sperms wrapped in coagulum are transferred to the cervical mucus which protects the sperm from the acidity of the vagina. Sperms that fail to enter the cervical mucus in this short period of time become non functional. Although, women often worry about semen falling out of their vagina after intercourse, all useful sperms are usually taken up in the cervical mucus within this short span of time after intercourse.
