A member asked:
If i ejaculated on my hands and washed them with soap, water, and hydrogen peroxide, and then fingered my wife, are we at risk? i washed them in hot water for 2 minutes.

Very unlikely.: Sperm are pretty hardy once they're in a woman's reproductive tract, but they don't do well in the outside world. Soap & hot water & hydrogen peroxide will kill them outright. No worries.
