A member asked:
Is there a possibility of live sperm being on my hand after i washed with cold water and bar soap and then dried my hands with a towel. i also didnt use the bathroom for another 30 minutes after that. could sperm have been transferred when i wiped?

Not fertile sperm: Dried stuff on one's hands won't start a pregnancy. Washed hands won't start a pregnancy, with or without soap. Wet semen (as in fresh semen) inside a vagina can start a pregnancy... so that is the thing to prevent. If worried, a home urine pregnancy test is very reliable by 3 weeks after sex, or 1 week after missing a normal regular period, or after starting a "weird" period.

If sperm was accidentally left on a bar of soap from cleaning hands which had sperm on them, then I rinsed the soap under sink water for a couple seconds, could sperm still be on the soap bar and potentially be able to fertilize about 12 hrs later?
