Relax: Studies reveal this to be a natural part of emerging sexuality for the majority of males and females worldwide. Cultural taboos limit the discussion of the topic to a variable degree.Most experts would agree it is an innocuous practice. It does not interfere with future fertility.

If someone masturbate and touch any surface, do sperm transfer to that surface? If I touch a dry surface (that may have dry semen or sperm) and then insert my finger into my vagina , can I be pregnant by this? I'm really getting anxious?

If someone washes his hands after masturbation with water, are his hands now free of any sperm? If a girl touches a surface (that is also touched by the boy with wet hands after masturbation) and insert a finger inside her vagina can she be pregnant?
