A member asked:
Could a girl get pregnant if she used a bar of soap that had sperm accidentally left on it from about 10 hours prior? could the sperm still be alive if the soap bar was initially wet at the time it was in contact?

Sperm are rather fragile, formed with just enough energy reserves to survive for a few days in the female genital tract before they die. I find that any sperm on the cited soap bar would dry out and die within minutes to hours. Even of used immediately the toxic nature of the soap would neutralize or kill the sperm. I wouldn't worry about the exposure.
