Something crazy like 80% of the sperm ejaculated die within the first few minutes because of the acidic levels in the vagina. The 20% that live use the others as a shield to get through to other areas then make the trek to the egg. Also, when a woman is nearing her fertile time, she actually self lubes (Not always the case with women on the pill) and her cervix drop to make the distance shorter for the sperm, with orgasm actually causing the cervix to drop into the pool of sperm (if the male stays inserted while she orgasms) and thereby eliminating the most dangerous part of the trip.

I did get weary of my doctor saying, confusedly, 'Well, it does only take one sperm, you know', as I saw him a number of times in an attempt to improve my wife's chances of conception. After over three years of trying and failing we went for Artificial Insemination by Donor, which worked.<br/><br/>So, whilst I accept that people should be careful I'd also say that, if you're only producing a very small number of sperm and if they're so exhausted that they can barely reach the starting line, let alone complete the equivalent of a Tri-Athlon, I reckon you're fairly safe in ditching the contraception ;o) Following a childhood ‘problem’ my sperm count was very low – low motility too.
