Can You Get Pregnant in a Hot Tub?

If you have sex in a hot tub, you can get pregnant in a hot tub. Strictly from a physiologic perspective, that’s the purpose of sex. The human body is trying to continue the species and the pleasure of sex is the motivation for us to act in ways that end up giving us little bundles of joy.

Here is more from WikiAnswers contributors:

• My wife and I made a baby in a jacuzzi. Yes, it can happen!

• You can get pregnant anywhere. With or without protection.

• Yes, you can, sperm can live in a hot tub for up to 24 hours

• Yes, you can get pregnant by having sex in a hot tub. The chances are probably a bit lower because sperm does not do well when it is very hot, hence the reason a man is supposed to wear boxers when trying to conceive – to keep his testicles away from his body heat.

• But, at any rate, even though the chances may be lower, it is definitely possible to get pregnant when having sex in a hot tub.

• Actually, the question may refer to sexual activity in a hot tub, and not necessarily intercourse. The question may have referred to a man cumming in a hot tub, and the chances of the sperm traveling through the water, up the vagina, and creating the pregnancy. Even though this “asexual” chance at reproduction seems unlikely, people looking to avoid this always want to be sure.

• Yes you can get pregnant when having sex in a hot tub. You can get pregnant having sex anywhere.

• You can pregnant from having sex. It doesn’t matter if the sex is in a hot tub.

• (There may be some urban myths about heat in a hot tub killing sperm and/or sperm released into the water finding its way inside you. Ignore all this. Use birth control unless you want to get pregnant.)

• Yes you can get pregnant but for your safety, I wouldn’t try. It is known that having sex in a hot tub can be dangerous for the woman. I do believe that it damages inside of her.

• It’s always possible.. but.. Sperm don’t like to be hot, that is why they are stored in the scrotum outside of the body, it’s a bit cooler that way, so I would imagine any stray spermies would be killed in a hot tub, and I would imagine pool chemicals as well would do them in. I’d say it’s a real real low chance!

• Not unless the sperm came in contact with her vaginal area

• It is possible, the sperm could have gotten into the girl, however its reasonably unlikely and the chlorine in the hot tub would probably kill the sperm…(don’t take my work on that) if you worried get a pregnancy test done.

• Firstly, any penetration with or without ejaculation can cause pregnancy. Secondly, because women urinate from a different opening to that where the sperm is, it does not affect or kill sperm. Even if it did, it would be too late as they are already well on their way!

• That depends of your sperm’s survivability… There some “supersperms” that can withstand various factors that would hinder their survival.. But nevertheless deep penetration and ejaculation “inside” the vagina will promote conception.. If the sperms were delivered far from the cervix. They are less likely to survive since the vagina’s acidity will kill them

• I am in the same situation as you and can assure you that if a man ejaculated into a hot tub whilst you were in it you would not become pregnant.The sperm would be killed by the heat of the water and various chemicals in the tub. However if penetration occurred the chances of pregnancy are there.

• What are you ten years old. You can only get pregnant by sex nothing else.

• Other than by complex medical procedures — Pregnancy can ONLY occur by sexual intercourse, that is – the penis inside the vagina when it ejaculates, and then only with the occurrence of a number of other things at that time, (female egg in correct place and sperm finding it), can a women become pregnant. NO OTHER WAY. Period. End of story. NEVER ANY OTHER WAY.

• Please tell your friends — as it seems to me there are an exceptional number of these types of questions appearing recently….and I simply don’t recall or believe there was ever any misunderstanding about this when I was younger. I don’t understand why there is now: Again – ONLY SEXUAL INTERCOURSE CAN CAUSE PREGNANCY! If you have (or had) any questions or misconceptions about any of the exact meanings used in that simple and basic concept, it is very correct to say you should not be engaging in any of those things.

• It depends on the quality of the sperm, the tub temperature, you(r partner)’s ‘fluids’, and if you used protection or protection failure.

• You need some sex ed. Anyway, if the sperm touches the vagina, then yes. Since the sperm is too small to see with a naked eye, you can’t tell. Therefore. there is a chance, but it’s like 50/50.

• I does not matter where you had sex if, chance is are that you maybe pregnant.

• The chances are astronomical but not completely out of the question. chlorine, hot water and the small amount of sperm vs. the amount of water in a tub all limit the chances, but under bizarre circumstances with body temperature water and no chlorine, it could conceivably happen. (pun intended) A woman not wearing a swimsuit would increase the odds significantly.

If your penis was inside her vagina, and you ejaculated, then she may indeed get pregnant. Hot tubs are not the most conducive places for fertility to occur, but it’s possible.

There is an guy’s old joke. Tell the girl, “I’ll just put the tip in” Guys should know that this is just as dangerous as having sex. There is something called “precum”, very thin, clear drops of semen that build up in the tip of a man’s penis before he ejaculates. It’s kind of like seepage or a tiny leak that happens when a guy gets really turned on, but hasn’t yet “shot his load”, so to speak. Even if he never ejaculates, the precum can still build up. Sometimes it’s not enough to form a complete drop and drip out. But it is still there, inside the lips of his penis. Even these tiny, thin droplets can contain millions, or at least thousands of sperm. That’s why letting a guy rub the tip on your vaginal lips, without a condom, is dangerous, . Given the fact that he only rubbed the outer lips and you were in a very hot water, maybe you were lucky enough not to get pregnant. What you did was still dangerous and don’t forget about STD’s. Next time, don’t fall for the old, “just the tip” routine. get him hard with a few hand strokes and then tell him to “glove up” right away. Good luck, have fun.
