WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - The novel coronavirus has been discovered in the semen of infected male individuals, according to Chinese researchers, raising the prospect that the virus could potentially be sexually transmitted. However, the study also raises questions: It doesn’t explain how much viral load was present in the sperm, nor does it examine whether or not the virus could be transmitted through sexual activity.
The study, conducted at China’s Shangqiu Municipal Hospital, is described in a research letter published Thursday by the JAMA Network of medical journals. This research is the first to detect the virus in reproductive fluids. Further study is needed to understand whether safe-sex practices should be part of COVID-19 prevention efforts, according to medical experts who read the paper.
“These are intriguing results,” John Brooks, chief medical officer for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC's) coronavirus response, told The Wall Street Journal. But it doesn’t mean that semen is infectious, he said.

You have to control the intake of air some how. Suggestions?
Stupidity.
It’s already known to be communicable.
Physical interaction along the lines of inttimacy will transmit it with or without specific sexual activity.
The only people this would make a difference to are women who utilize a sperm bank.
Didn't you see "Naughty Nurses 3 - The Strokening" ?
I think we will see an arousal of the Pearl Clutcher’s here on the FR.
I’m not concerned. The Chinese found to have this in their sperm are probably the ones who had sex with the infected Bats.
It seemed to express my feeling’s about this whole mess! LOL
They already said passed through farts unless you wear underwear.
Are theirs that small?
In the same vein (no pun intended) I just read an article saying that wearing a face mask without eye protection googles is a waste of time if you were concerned about inbound transmission.
Any particle or droplet that could enter your respiratory tract via nasal passages or mouth could just as easily enter through tear ducts in the eyes.
I wonder if the CDC will make goggles mandatory?
Lol.
I tried to say as cleanly or non-explicitly as I could.
While having sex?
Can you say fecal spray when flushing the commode without closing the lid?
If it’s transmittable by butt buggery, then that’s good news. They’ll open everything up because the virus will now have civil rights.
I asked her what the population of Italy was. She didn't know, so we both looked it up.... 60,327,116. She also wasn't able to calculate the percentage of the population that had died, so I did it for her.....0.05% "Gee, that's not very many, is it," she said.
Sometimes you have to hold their hands.
Only in the missionary position. ;)
It fit perfectly! (Peter Sellers couldn’t be reached for comment though!)
Being in close proximity to someone while having sex can lead to contracting Covid-19. There is no need for physical intimacy to get infected.
Ruh-roh. Unless it’s a formal function, I usually go ‘commando’.
"Holy egg foo young, Batman!"
By what method are these semen samples being obtained?
Asking for a friend.
