Is a man surgically gets rid of both of his epididymeses (epididymi?) and his vas deferens subsequently grow and attach themselves to the place/spot on his testicles where his epididymises (epididymi?) used to be, what are the sperm that are subsequently going to come out of this man's body going to look like? As in, how would the process of spermatogenesis be affected if everything else was done other than a passage through the epididymis (on account of there no longer actually being any epididymises)? I know that testicular sperm cannot naturally achieve pregnancy and instead require IVF, but I was wondering if the same was also true for sperm that went directly from the testicles to the vas deferens (again, due to there no longer actually being any epididymises) and then came out of a man's body the normal way. I was also wondering just how fertile this man is actually going to be in this scenario after his vas deferens would have grown and attached themselves to the place/spot on his testicles where his epididymises used to be. Is this man actually going to be capable of causing any unplanned pregnancies? Or are the sperm that are going to come out of this man's body simply going to be too immotile for him to ever actually cause any unplanned pregnancies regardless of which women he will ever have penis-in-vagina sex with due to his sperm not actually having any epididymis to mature in? 68.96.93.207 ( talk) 00:14, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
