Does standing sex reduce the risk of pregnancy?

Many people, in their eagerness to become pregnant, perform sexual intercourse in positions that supposedly improve the flow of semen and sperm to the egg to finally fertilize it. Well, in principle there are no positions that make conception difficult or favor , so there is little point in doing the bridge handstand during the act. For fertilization to occur, sperm have to reach the fallopian tubes, a journey that is completed regardless of the position used in intercourse.

Popular wisdom forged the myth that if sex is practiced standing up, it is more difficult for sperm to reach the egg , as they must overcome the force of gravity. There are no reliable studies that correlate this hypothesis, although some anthropologists suggest that the female orgasm was "invented" precisely so that the exhausted woman would lie down and retain the semen.

In any case, it seems sensible not to risk the physique by trying certain positions that are not very ergonomic in the search for fertilization and pregnancy.
