No, there is a very low chance of pregnancy in this scenario. Sperm needs to enter the vagina and travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize an egg. If your penis did not enter the vagina and ejaculation occurred outside, the chances of sperm reaching the egg are significantly reduced. Additionally, washing with water can further decrease the likelihood of any viable sperm remaining.

No, it is not possible for a woman to get pregnant from sperm on fingers. In order for pregnancy to occur, sperm must be deposited directly into the vagina and travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize an egg. Sperm on the fingers, especially after being exposed to the environment and outside elements, would not survive long enough or be able to travel through the vaginal canal to reach the uterus.

Pregnancy can occur when sperm comes into contact with the vagina and fertilizes an egg. However, the chances of pregnancy in the scenario you described are extremely nil for several reasons. 1. Sperm viability: once sperm is exposed to air or dries out, it quickly loses its ability to fertilize an egg. Therefore, by the time you washed your hands after masturbating, it is highly unlikely that any viable sperm remained on your hands. 2. Washing hands: washing your hands with soap and water is an effective way to remove any remaining sperm. The use of hand wash and water at the restaurant and your girlfriend's home further reduces the possibility of any viable sperm being present on your fingers. 3. Time elapsed: the duration between your last night's masturbation and inserting your fingers into your girlfriend's vagina was approximately 15-16 hours. Sperm typically cannot survive outside the body for such an extended period of time, especially when exposed to air and washed multiple times. So you need not have to worry.

Pregnancy can occur when sperm comes into direct contact with the vagina, as the sperm can potentially travel through the cervix and into the uterus to fertilize an egg. However, the chances of pregnancy in the scenario you described are relatively low. Sperm require a more direct and efficient route to reach the egg, such as through intercourse or artificial insemination. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that sperm can survive for a short period of time outside the body, so there is a very small possibility of pregnancy if any semen or sperm manages to make its way into the vaginal area. To minimize the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (stis), it is advisable to use contraception, such as condoms or other reliable methods, during sexual activities.

Sperm reaching the vagina is one of the necessary conditions for pregnancy to occur. However, the chances of pregnancy depend on various factors, including the timing of the woman's menstrual cycle, fertility, and the viability of the sperm. While it is unlikely for pregnancy to occur in the scenario you described (sperm falling on the vaginal area but the woman wearing underwear), it's important to note that sperm are capable of swimming and may find their way into the vagina if there is direct contact. Sperm can travel through the fabric of underwear, although it may be hindered to some extent. To minimize the risk of pregnancy, it is always recommended to use contraception consistently and correctly. If you have concerns about pregnancy or contraception, it is best to consult a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific situation.

He chances of pregnancy occurring without actual penetration of the penis into the vagina are extremely low, but not entirely impossible. Pregnancy can only occur if sperm cells come into direct contact with the vagina, travel through the cervix, and fertilize an egg. While the risk is minimal, there is still a possibility of sperm being present in pre-ejaculate fluid (also known as pre-cum), which can contain a small number of sperm cells. Factors such as the timing of the woman's menstrual cycle and the presence of fertile cervical mucus can influence the likelihood of pregnancy. Additionally, individual variations in sperm viability and the presence of any breaks in the skin or mucous membranes may affect the outcome. However, the chances of pregnancy occurring solely from external rubbing without penetration are considered extremely low.

Hello lybrate-user. Semen don't travel through clothes, reach vaginal canal and then fallopian tubes to cause pregnancy. Take proper sex education so you can enjoy sex. Consult me online in private for proper guidance and treatment if required.

Based on the description you provided, the chances of pregnancy are extremely low. For pregnancy to occur, there needs to be direct contact between semen and the vagina. In your situation, you mentioned that your partner touched his penis and then touched your vagina above both layers of clothing. Sperm typically cannot survive outside the body for long, and the layers of clothing act as a barrier, further reducing the possibility of pregnancy. Furthermore, you mentioned that you masturbated your partner's penis and semen came out onto your hands. As long as you did not have direct contact between your hands and your vagina, the risk of pregnancy remains very low.

Precum (pre-ejaculate) may contain a small number of sperm cells, but the likelihood of pregnancy depends on various factors such as the timing of her menstrual cycle, the presence of fertile cervical mucus, and the viability of the sperm. However, based on the scenario you described, where there was no direct contact between your genitals and her vagina, the chances of pregnancy would be extremely low. If you and your girlfriend are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's best to consult a healthcare professional or consider taking a pregnancy test for more accurate information and guidance.
