Semen helps thin your cervix which is what moves things along. But it doesn't always work and one time probably isn't enough if you aren't already thinning.

I heard it doesn't work for everyone but It did for me with my last 2, I told my hubby i w as ready to have the baby and we had sex and I put a pillow under my bottom so that way the sperm could sit there lol tmi... but then 30 minutes later I was having contractions and once they were regular I went to the hospital and they said I was 4cm. So it doesn't hurt to try
