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

Ok so about 3 days ago my bf & I were alone and he started to finger me . In the moment I reached down & touched his penis I felt it dry but Im not sure. After that he kept fingering me & it started to hurt. I pushed his hand & started to touch my vigina. Later that day I asked him if at any point did he ejaculate or pre-ejaculate & he said he wasnt sure. That he didnt feel anything. Now its been 3 days & Im having really bad lower abdominal pain & my lower back hurts & my stomach seems to growl a lot. I know its not my period cause its should get here around 14-16 days. Could I be pregnant after the situation described above.?

Hi Anonymous,

Probably no risk for becoming pregnant.

Let me point out that pre-ejaculate fluid only contains sperm if the male has previously ejaculated, such as with masturbation. Some sperm can remain in his urethra, but it is flushed out when he voids.

If there was semen on his hands and he touched your outer genitalia, then a slight risk that one sperm, that is all it takes, could have entered your vagina, which is inside your body.

I gave my boyfriend oral sex and swallowed the sperm, he then touched the long part of his penis , not the tip , and fingered me. Is there a change of pregnancy? His hands were dry but could tere still have been sperm on his hands ? Ims suppose to get my period today and Ive felt some pms but I think I would have it by now. It should be coming if there is no chance right? I've been prescribed birth control and I start taking it Sunday.

Hi, i handjob my bf today and there were cum on one of my hands. The other hand had precum and i accidentally touched my hair with it. I washed my hands with faucet water afterwards. i got home probably less the twenty minutes. i washed my hands with water again. I peed.
1) could the sperms still be alive when i touched the tissue and wiped my wet vagina after i peed? could i be pregnant?
After i peed i started to panic and got in the shower all naked. i washed my hands with soap and I didnt wash my hair with soap but i let cold water run through it. i was really panicking and didnt know what to do. there was water running down my vagina.
2) could it be possible tht there might be some sperm from my hands or body or bair tht might have got me pregnant?
then i did not wash the inside of my vagina. i stayed on the outside and washed my public hair with soap.
Will i be alright? or could i be pregnant. plz help.

Hi I just want to ask is it true that once your hands are dried,the sperms are all guranteed dead?? My bf finger me with dried hands but before that,he had a little urine on his hands(im worried as certain website says that urine contains sperm) however he washed his hands immediately after pissing and it was dry,after almost lk 40 mins later he finger me.so I'm worried if I am pregnant,when I asked him,he said he swear he was a virgim and he did nt have any signs of semen on his hands(he confidently claims that he has no wet dreams for months) and that he did not come in contact with semen.However im still a little worriwd,when he finger me,both of our pants were still on.So am I pregnant??? Plsease help and tell me

Hello Anonymous,

Once the semen is dry, sperm is dead. It can live outside the body for about 20 minutes.

Urine does not contain sperm.
Any sperm left in the urethra from a prior ejaculation is eliminated with urination.

How could he insert his finger if you were wearing pants?

There appears to have been no risk for pregnancy. No, I don't think you became pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann
