A member asked:

I had protected sex with my girlfriend, afterwards pulling off the condom and thoroughly wiping my penis and hands with a towel. i then fingered her not long after, is it possible that there was still sperm on my hand, just not the visible fluid?

Little or no risk: The whole business about pregnancy risk without intercourse -- with ejaculation near but not in the vagina, semen on fingers, etc -- is not quite an urban myth, but it's close. It's very rare. And with cleaning or towleing after contact, there is no significant chance of conception. Don't worry about it.
