What are the chances of sperm traveling through underwear and fertilizing an egg?

In Reality, it'snt..: Sperm lives as long as it gets a suitable environment to live. Theoretically, it's possible if the volume of semen is abundant for sperms to survive; in reality, very unlikely. But, if any doubt, don't give it that chance to happen. So, use common sense. Best luck.
