What I meant is that it's easier to ensure it works being a numbers game. If you constantly have new sperm being made it's way harder to shut that down consistently than to stop one egg releasing once per month.

That's not how any of this works. Did you never take reproductive anatomy?

No. Where would I take that?

In school. But I'm sure you could gather the essentials from the internet.

We had sex ed but we never went really deep.

Let me put it this way, with an imperfect analogy. If you poison the water supply, it doesn't matter how many people drink from it. They all die.
