A member asked:

My hands were totally dry. can there be any left over sperm on hand 1 hour after if i had touched penis while peeing. no ejeculation or erection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Most sperm will die pretty rapidly if they’re not in an environment that’s conducive to living. Sperm outside the body, in dry environment , no humidity, they’re probably only going to live about 15 to 30 minutes.”
