the other day i and my husband were dry humping.He touched his penis after he ejaculated,then wiped it off with a cloth,washed his hands thoroughly with water(he didn't use soap) and then fingered me.he didn't dry his hands after washing them with water.Are there chances for sperm to live under his finger nails?However,we do not wish to have babies so soon and i am scared i may get pregnant.I also had slight cramps recently and i am late on my period.Am i pregnant? please help.i didn't use any contraceptive.

Hi Anon,

Not at all.  Semen outside the body dries up and the sperm dies.  A woman cannot get pregnant from getting touched with ejaculation in his hand.  The only way sperm can live and swim up a woman's vaginal walls is through intercourse. I hope this helps you understand a little more. 

Best,

Daisy

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. No, you can not get pregnant from him touching you after having ejaculation in his hand.  Semen outside the body will dry up quick and sperm dies. Hope this was helpful?

Best,

Daisy
