Standing sex, like any other sexual position, can lead to pregnancy if semen enters the vagina and the woman is in her fertile window. The key factor for pregnancy is the sperm meeting the egg, regardless of the position.
However, standing sex has certain characteristics that might slightly influence the likelihood of pregnancy:
1. Semen Flowing Out: In standing positions, semen may be more likely to flow out of the vagina, especially if the woman does not immediately lie down or adopt another position to keep the semen inside. While sperm are still able to swim and move upward in the vagina, if the semen leaks out quickly, it may slightly decrease the chances of pregnancy.
2. Angle and Depth: Different sexual positions change the angle of penetration. In standing positions, this might affect the path of sperm. However, sperm are highly mobile and can still swim toward the uterus and potentially meet the egg.
3. Ovulation Period: Regardless of position, pregnancy chances are higher if the woman is in her ovulation period. Ovulation typically occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, which is when a woman is most fertile.
