Subject: Could my Girlfriend Get Pregnant ?
Question: Could my girlfriend get pregnant if i wiped my fingers with a hanky with dried up semen ? it dried for a couple of minutes like 15 - 20, it was still a little damp or sticky but not watery. and the semen already came from her mouth. can saliva kill semen ?. after i wiped my fingers. i fingered her. I'm really scared if she gets pregnant. please help.
Answer: I think saliva might inhibit sperm somewhat, but probably won't kill sperm. Under the situation that you've described, I would say that pregnancy is highly unlikely and almost impossible.
i would like to ask Dr. Norman again but he's not available and i need my answer as soon as possible.
what part of my situation that pregnancy was highly unlikely and almost impossible ?
can sperm that is on my hanky live for 10 - 20 minutes ?
like i said it was still a little damp and cold. could the sperm still be alive ?
please help .
AnswerThe chances are probably not very high if the semen was dried. Please refrain from these kind of actions in the future. It's probably better to not have to be so worried about things.
I would say that pregnancy is unlikely in these circumstances. Because of the dried up semen for 15-20 minutes. I don't think the sperm would have been able to impregnate. But you will have to see if she misses her next period and/or develops pregnancy symptoms.
Like I said, abstain from sexual actions or intercourse to prevent these worries, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
