Question 1

Can tap water kills sperm on hand?is there any chance of getting pregnant if touched vagina accidentally immediately after washing hand with tap water

Accepted Answer

A good washing with water will do just fine in rinsing away sperm. Soap is optional, but using soap is ok too. That said, many things are possible in life. Couples having sex should always be ready to be married, settled down, and with stable jobs that provide health insurance (a cute, surprise baby has just as many doctor visits as a planned baby).

Question 2

Can regular tap water kill sperm on hands without soap? will it still cause pregnancy if touched the vagina after washing and hands still wet?

Accepted Answer

While unlikely, this could certainly result in pregnancy.  Presumably you understand that the possibility of introducing sperm to the vagina introduces the possibility of pregnancy.

Question 3

Does tap water alone kill sperm? or atleast can wash it off completely? (without using soap or rubbing the hands)?

Accepted Answer

sperms die within 20-30 minutes after ejaculation if not in the vagina or cervix no matter what the surface. Water is ok but soap is cleaner.

Question 4

Can just warm/hot tap water hand wash kill sperm off the hands?is it enough?

Accepted Answer

A good washing with water will do just fine in rinsing away sperm. Soap is optional, but using soap is ok too.

Question 5

Can sperm from the hands transmit to other objects and then cause pregnancy when someone touches the object or surfaces that contain the sperm? also, does very hot tap water not kill sperm because i read that only cold water kills sperm?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy occurs when viable sperm enter the vaginal canal and contact a receptive egg. Too many variables in your post to give you a more concise answer.

Question 6

Will cold tap water (with or without soap) very quickly or even instantly kill sperm, owing to osmotic shock?

Accepted Answer

Tap water is definitely going to create an osmotic deficit when contacting living cells, but it is not sufficient to kill sperm effectively, so pregnancy is always a possibility. 
The only way to resolve this is to wait until the receiver of the sperm has a period.  Obtain a serum (HCG) pregnancy test if she is "late".

Question 7

How long does sperm live in slightly cold plain water? (water is tap water?

Accepted Answer

I think you're the same person who has asked multiple questions indicating irrational fear of conception due to non-sexual or semi-sexual exposures. It's as if you view semen or sperm as an infectious agent that can be easily spread. It is not. You will never impregnate anyone without ejaculating inside her vagina. Please stop asking this sort of question.

Question 8

My clothes were wet by semen and then i washed [that area which was wet ] with tap water. can sperm still be alive or not. sperm are killed by tap water or not during washing semen on clothes?

Accepted Answer

Sperm not functional after exposure to the chlorine in tap water.

Question 9

I got a little sperm on my finger and washed it off with tap water and dried it on a towel, a few moments later i went to the bathroom and wiped with toilet paper, if there was sperm still on my finger, can semen travel through the toilet paper?

Accepted Answer

No, semen cannot travel through toilet paper, there is no risk for pregnancy in above mentioned scenario.

Question 10

Everytime i ejaculate i dont wash my hands with soap,i just use tap water to wash away semen on my hands im worried if some sperm is still on my hands after washing with just tap water is it ok?

Accepted Answer

Good sanitary habits include washing your hands with soap and water. Keeping hands clean helps prevent the spread of germs.
