Hello- how long sperm can live outside the body depends on the environment, but once sperm is dried, it is no longer viable. On skin or other surfaces, sperm can live between 15 and 30 minutes. In hot tubs or bath water, this lifespan decreases to a few seconds or minutes. Pre-cum doesn't actually contain any sperm. However, it's possible for sperm to leak into pre-cum. Pre-cum is a lubricant produced by a gland in the penis, which is released before ejaculation. Semen may linger in the urethra after ejaculation and mix with pre-cum while it's on its way out.

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.
