Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you came to us with your questions. I will do my best to provide you with answers and helpful information.
Sperm, once ejaculated, can live outside the body for about 20 minutes. Once semen has dried, sperm have died.
I thought there was any live sperm left on his fingers after he wiped off. Considering the time he took to wipe off the semen and put on his pants, any sperm that could remain was probably dead.
Unprotected vaginal intercourse is the most likely way to get pregnant. You can get pregnant if you engage in body rubbing with your clothes off. Sperm can come in contact with the vulva or vagina. Any type of sex play where semen comes in contact with the vulva can possibly lead to pregnancy. Although the chances are low, sperm can travel through the moisture on the vulva and into the vagina.
Anonymous, the best advice I can give you is to learn all you can about how pregnancy occurs, and available options of birth control. Using some type of birth control consistently will prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
