I don't think it actually kills it, I think it is just supossed to slow it down a lot. Sorta like certain lubes.

i heard and read that it does kill it.. so i asked my fertility doctor and she said it does kill them.. she said that if you want your chances to be the highest to concieve each cycle. then you dont wat to decrease your chances. she said no saliva. no lubes except preeseed.. she explained it as the sperm is a like an alien attack on our bodies all by its self. our bodies and our fluids try to kill the sperm as it tries to swim to the egg. so we already have a battle going on without adding to it.. so when you ad in saliva or other lubicants we are just adding to the struggle and making it harder... hope this helps.. good luck.. :)
