Q: 

Does washing with soap and water kill sperm on hands?

My boyfriend and I engaged in manual sex. If before fingering me he had semen on his hands, I wanted to know if him washing his hands with soap and water is enough to get rid of the sperm so it can't get my pregnant. I'm not on birth control and we didn't use protection. As a precaution before manual sex aka fingering, are soap and water enough to make sure that my boyfriend has no sperm on his hands? I also gave him a handjob and he ejaculated with wet fresh semen on my hands but I went to the bathroom and washed it off with luke warm water and antibacterial soap and then dried after. After drying I urinated and washed my vagina with antibacterial soap touching it with the same hand, in order to prevent a UTI. I'm sorry I'm just really worried that I may not be pregnant so I'm freaking myself out. This event happened March 15th (11 days after my period had started) so its been over 2 weeks since then, if I take a pregnancy test will it be accurate? I don't expect my period till April 3rd

Hello Anonymous,

Washing with soap and water removes semen and kills sperm. This has been stated many times in this thread. You are most likely having premenstrual symptoms.

Hi. On the 10 august ave my bf blowjob and soon after, his cum came out. Someof the cum went onto my stomach(below the belly button and above my pubic hair) after that i went to the bathroom and wipe off the cum using the hand to prevent the cum from dripping down. After that i wash my hands 2times before washing my private part. On the 12 i ate a heavy dinner and since that, i have been feeling very bloated (not upper or lower stomach just the middle) until now. Im getting a little worried as my breast seems to be abit pain. Although my period have not came( estimated, 20 aug to come), im worried that i will get pregnant. Please help me!

Hello ritzz,

If semen got on your pajamas, there is no risk of getting pregnant. If semen got into your pajamas, there is a possibility of getting pregnant.

Washing your hands after touching the semen (which contains sperm) would remove and kill any sperm.

Does sperm work in mysterious ways ? Like my boyfriend took a shower and ejaculated on the soap and I took a shower right after him . If the sperm touches my vagina , can I get pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Sperm cannot survive on a soap, especially antibacterial soap. If sperm enters your vagina, you can become pregnant.
