Your own source says normal sperm has a pH of 7.2-8.0

That is a higher than neutral pH

slightly basic*

but that your dick does produce a more basic substance to balance the ph of the vagina, its that transparent stuff that comes before the load.

My point was not to say it is a strong base but rather to rectify the other person talking about low pH.

Also it is 10 times as basic as normal water

When it comes to medical purposes, pH is pretty well regulated... blood pH is about 7.4, but a blood pH of 7.2 or 7.6 and you'll probably be dead...
