questions about sperm

hi! i've got a few questions about sperm
if sperm in semen on surfaces like hands, tables, clothes, etc are left out for a few minutes, do they just "die"?
and does transferring sperm from surface to surface like hand-to doorknob-to whatever other surface just kill them?
thank u in advance!

Re: clothing as a barrier

hi! i'm coming back to this thread to ask another question
for dry humping, does moisture present change the risk?
like moisture from my own genitals or moisture from my bf's ejaculate

clothing as a barrier

hi! so i know dry humping poses no risks of pregnancy bc of clothing blocking direct genital-genital contact and semen-vulva/vaginal opening contact but would clothing serve as a safe barrier in other activities like manual sex? like if my bf were to finger me and i have a layer of clothing on, woul...

Discharge

Hi, so i've noticed i've been producing more discharge and it's more watery. Is this a cause for concern?
My period's due in 2 weeks so could this just be a sign of ovulation?

Re: how to just stop caring?

i think some resources would be great. and getting informed of how to actually speak up would be nice too.
i know moving on isn't a limear process but it's been harder for me to take my time to heal because people around me (my parents specifically) keep pushing me to hurry up and leave it in the past
