Don't understand?: ? What you are asking. Assume worried about pregnancy from sperm on hands? Dry hands would most likely equate to dead sperm. There is no guarantee however. Soap and water clean would be the best answer to be most assured of cleaning / killing the sperm from your hands.

Is this true ? Sperm without liquid seminal is dead . This means that if a hand had sperm and dried because nothing is visible on them after 5 min. This means sperm is dead so no pregnancy ?
