Question 4

how long can sperm in precum live on hands?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: Sperm don't live in the air, on clothes, or on other items. Their natural habitat is warm, fresh semen... not on hands or household objects. Fresh semen on hands, condoms, etc., that is quickly put into a vagina can still lead to pregnancy. Realize that scientists are NOT spending time testing how likely or unlikely pregnancy would be in such situations. Hands wiped very dry should be safe.

Question 5

: Sperm that has not been deposited into the vagina via actual intercourse has not been known to cause pregnancy.

Question 6

if sperm on hand is no longer visibl does this mean it dried and died ? my bf ejaculated in my hand but after 5 min it is no longer in my hand i dont see anything in my hand . does this mean if i touch vagina my hands have dry sperm so no pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: Pregnancy is not possible in above circumstances. Contraception remains otherwise key in avoiding undesired pregnancy and associated anxiety, specifically when intercourse becomes possible.

Question 7

how long can sperm live in someone's hand ? if the persons hand is dry

Accepted Answer

Who knows?: Thank you for bringing up this question to professionals. In my lifelong study and practice in urology of 35 yrs, I have never heard any discussion on sperm survival in one's dry hand. I assume you worry about pregnancy from sperm "contamination" and transfer, is it so? If any doubt, just wash hand and dry, and wait for 15-30 minutes before engaging in sexual acts. 
Or you may take this as project.

Question 8

how quickly does sperm die on hands?

Accepted Answer

: Sperm dies on hands in 3-5 minutes. On washed hands immediately because the water and soap cause a osmotic shock.

Question 9

when does sperm die if it is on hands?

Accepted Answer

APortnoyeousQuestion: The last time I checked(and that was a long time ago)they seemed to die if they were out of their naturally warm,moist,viscous mucilaginous environment (i.e. either in your scrotum or in someone else's vagina).So logic would dictate that they would suffer a semenly demise if they dried-out or encountered anything other than a normal body fluid(like,say,axle grease,a spermicide,or a catcher's mitt)

Question 10

if i have sperm on my hands and wash them will it die and if not how long will it live for?

Accepted Answer
