If sperm is on your hands will it die pretty quickly or does it take a long time?

Hi Anonymous,

Depending on whether you wiped away all of the semen, or at least 20 minutes passed before you touched yourself, there be no risk for pregnancy. Sperm can live outside the body for about 20 minutes.

If you touched yourself with wet semen, there is a chance that some sperm entered your vagina. There would be a chance for pregnancy if this happened five days before you ovulated or on the day you ovulated.

The risk for pregnancy was very little if any at all. You will know by getting your period.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

I am sorry but with some many "Anonymous", I don't know which is your original post or if this is your first one.

If there was no penetration with ejaculation, or unprotected vaginal intercourse, there is no risk for pregnancy.

If your female partner's period is late by at least seven days, then she should take a pregnancy test.

Two ways to confirm whether or not she is pregnant, she gets a normal period or she gets a positive pregnancy test result.

Regards,
Maryann

To Susan, Back to the "hand on the side of the bed" comment, I just rubbed the lip or near the vaginal opening but I didn't insert my finger. I don't think I'd get pregnant since it was semen on my hand and he ejaculated his sperm in my mouth. I'm just wondering if the semen were dried up since I layed it palm down on the bed before I touch myself. Thank you.

Hello! I gave oral to my bf and used one of my hands to stroke his penis. There were semen on it and I put my hand on the side of the bed , using my mouth only. Maybe 4 -5 minutes gone by ,he came in my mouth . A minute or two later I used the hand that I put aside on the bed and rub my vagina (not in but on the outside) to check how wet I was. Could I get pregnant by that?

Hi! so i gave my boyfriend a bj and he ejaculated everywhere and touched the semen i believe. He then wiped it on his clothes and 3-5 mins after he fingered me. I was on the second day of my fertile week with 11% chance of pregnancy. Can i get pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,

If he removed all the semen, you should not have been at risk for becoming pregnant. However, day two of your fertile period carries a slight risk. You won't know for sure until you get your period.

Hi, my boyfriend and I had sex almost a month ago and used a condom. After we were cuddling for a few minutes and I noticed there was some sperm on my thigh semi dried up. I wiped it up with my fingers and put my underwear on. A few minutes later I touched my vagina. Can I be pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,

Probably no risk especially if the semen was dry. Sperm can live outside the body for about 20 minutes. Once semen has dried, sperm is dead.

My GF gave me oral and I came in her mouth. There was just a little semen left on my penis. I put it back in my pants and dry my penis but I think I barely touched my penis. My hands were fully dry though after. Then I gave her oral with my fingers. Could she be pregnant?
