A member asked:

If you wash your hands with soap and water and then completely dry them, are sperm still present and able to make someone pregnant?

No, absolutely no chance. Don't worry about it. However, it seems clear you need to be on proper contraception ASAP -- if not yet having intercourse, you're probably close, and intentions to not be tempted usually fail. Please do it immediately!

The idea to wash hands is to get rid of dirt and some bacteria. Sperms die within 10-15 minutes of ejaculation eprcially in soap and water. So no chance of pregnancy.
