A member asked:

I sometimes masturbate in the bathroom/shower and i worry that the women i live with could get pregnant if they come in contact with residue semen even though i always wipe/rinse it. this is impossible right? and how do i get myself to stop worrying?

Basics: It takes motile/active sperm entering the female genital tract for them to trigger pregnancy. The conditions you cite immobilize/kill sperm so they cannot function. Dead sperm make no babies. Worry if you wish but that is not rational.

Very unlikely: Pregnancy, in this scenario, shouldn't be a cause for worry.
