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

Hello Anonymous,
Sperm can live outside the body for about 20 minutes.
Once semen has dried, sperm is dead. So, if any semen remaining on your hand felt dry, sperm was dead.

So i gave my boyfriend oral sex then spit out the seman and he cleaned off his penis with a towel, but some may have gotten on his hands. He fingered me about an hour later. I may also be ovulating. Is there any chance of pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,
No, there was no chance of becoming pregnant because after about one hour, any semen left on his fingers would have dried, and any sperm was dead.

My boyfriend ejaculated outside on my lower abdomen and he went in again. Is there any chance of pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,
There would have been a chance of becoming pregnant if there was still some semen on his penis and if this happened five days before you were due to ovulate or on the day of ovulation.
Ovulation happens midcycle, that is about two weeks before your next period is due to start.

My girlfriend jacked me off, I wiped my penis off with paper towels then I went to the bathroom and washed my penis with cold water. When I came back I let the condom end touch the tip of my penis for 1 second then put it on the right way. While we were having sex the condom was still on but slid to about half way on. Anytime during sex could I have gotten her pregnant (my tip touching the outside end of the condom for 1 second then having that end insert her after I used paper towels and washed it)? We're scared and she is supposed to get her period in 3 days. Please respond asap. Thanks

Hello Anonymous,
It sounds like you cleaned off any semen, so I don't think there was a risk. However, if her period is late, she should test for pregnancy.

Hello Anonymous,
There should have been no risk for pregnancy. Any sperm remaining in your urethra from the early ejaculation from masturbation was flushed out when you urinated.

The other day my girlfriend was giving me oral sex and when I ejaculated she swallowed but also proceeded to give me more oral sex after. When she was done I was rubbing my penis and then later in the night fingered her several times. After some reading I know that someone can get pregnant by manually inserting semen that is on their hands. But in this case when I fingered her it wasn't like I could see my discharge on my hand, there was no immediate visual of semen or Precum or anything like that on my fingers. Could this situation result in a pregnancy? She also had her period the next day. Thanks for your input!
