Fertility test for men

[SRM77]

Going to have my sperm count tested, what is the Church’s stance on this. I’m pretty you have to masturbate to give the sperm sample.

Confused!!

Presuming that you`re married (!), a non-lubricated PERFORATED condom is licit during normal sexual intercourse. In this case (of course), some sperm gets through, so the act is still OK.

Masturbation is NOT permitted.

This is one of a number of helpful ORTHODOX Catholic sites:

It just happens to be the first one i came across.

Good luck.

They can also extract sperm by needle, but if you’re married I would go the perforated condom route.

Masturbation is always gravely disordered.

I’m married with child, but haven’t had luck for the last 6 years having another. I’m getting up in age and would love to add a few more childern to the nest is all.

Extracting with a needle will no show what your body puts out.

Go with the punctured, non spermacide, condom and actual sex.
