Please specify: I agree there is little chance of pregnancy, but 7 minutes hands dry=dead sperm- 100% accurate? Don't know if that's true. You'd have to literally know that each of millions of sperm on your hand are dead to be able to say that- you may be surprised. Remember, sperm are microscopic so they don't need much fluid to stay viable...fluid you can't feel or see.

He ejaculated on my hand and just a little bit of semen gets on my hand I wiped it off with dry tissue and after 10min I touched my vagina but I didn't put any finger inside so can this cause pregnancy? Is after this time the sperm is dead?
If I touch sperm with my hand then wiped it with clothes and became dry nothing is visible. If I touch my vulva but did not insert my finger in my vagina just touch from outside. Will it cause pregnancy or sperm is already dead and lost its motility?
How long does sperm stay on hands? If its dry while on your hands is it still capable of causing a pregnancy? Does water get rid of it or will it still stay on? If its dry is it completely dead even if water comes in contact?
If my hands were dry for at least a half an hour after semen on them is the sperm all dead. Is there any chance of pregnancy?
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 ?
