How long sperm can survive in a man's body after castration (Yes, castration, as in the removal of both of one's testicles)? Is there a maximum lifespan for sperm who reside in a man's body after castration (similarly to how 125-130 years is believed to be be the maximum lifespan for human beings without any anti-aging technology)? Serious question, for the record.

After all, I myself certainly wouldn't want to have a pregnancy occur after I will get castrated (which I plan to do at the earliest possible opportunity).

If this is a serious question - why are you asking us? Ask your doctor. Why would you trust strangers on the internet with something like this?

You brought this up down in Relationships . Most suggested that you seek help. IF you can find a doctor willing to do this, which is unlikely unless there is a valid medical reason, such as cancer, for doing so, having sex at all, ever again, let alone worrying about pregnancy from surviving sperm () will be very low on your list of concerns.

Some side effects you may not be aware of: Muscle tone will soften, a bunch, your voice will change, becoming higher and more feminine, considerable weight gain in fat as muscle goes away, general lack of interest in any exciting, male oriented, activities such as any sports you may enjoy, ...I'm wondering if you're not just trolling for shock factor.

None. The things that produce and hold the sperm are not in the body anymore.

Ha! No worries about pregnancy if you are castrated. You will be a eunich then. Eunich's have zero interest in sex. You won't be able to have sex.

It's a very weird question. Is it your random curiosity of the hour or some untamed obsession?
To prevent pregnancy, there are many, many options. Vasectomy or condom if you are considering male dependent contraception.

To answer your question in a nutshell, sperms last ~4-6 hours at room temp unless you freeze them. Inside a body (outside testes), likely ~ 7 days. Do a google search.

I'll need to double-check your claim on the voice change; after all, as far as I know, the voice does not change if castration is done after puberty.

In regards to muscle tone, I already have no or almost no muscles on my arms; after all, I want my arms to look feminine.

In regards to weight gain in fat, this seems like something I could deal with; after all, trans-women deal with this.

Also, a lack of interest in exciting, male-oriented activities doesn't necessarily sound bad.

And No, I am certainly not trolling here; after all, I was rather open about this desire of mine for a very long time. Plus, as a gender-fluid/cross-dreaming person, I don't appear to see anything horrifying in anything which you wrote here.

There is the option of hormone replacement therapy, though.

All of those other options can fail, though; as you hopefully know, failure is completely unacceptable for me, as is abstaining from sex with all fertile and potentially fertile females for the rest of my life.

Can't some sperm still survive in the vas deferens afterwards, though?
