A member asked:

Hi i am 19 year old and last week on i had sex with my boyfriend and the sperm only just touched the outside of my private part could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Unless the sperm actually make it inside your vagina, they have no chance to cause pregnancy.It could happen if you wiped the area and pushed some inside, but if not, this is quite unlikely.

Could someone get pregnant while taking a shower from sperm that had been left on a bar of soap from about 10 hours prior? The soap was still wet/moist and so the sperm could not have dried out yet. The soap was used to wash the genital area as well?
