A member asked:
Can you get pregnant from washing up with a washcloth that had sperm on it? i used soap and water to wash off in the shower
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sperm : Sperm needs to come in contact with the vagina to become pregnant. Unless you placed the washcloth near the opening of the vagina or inserted it and there was live, fertile sperm on the washcloth; it could not cause pregnancy, outside the body, the sperm can only live for a couple of hour at best.
