How long do sperm cells have to live when the semen is wiped off from a surface? a time length from 2-4minutes?

Do cervical mucus provide protein and nutrients for the spermcells? I just found this on the internet. They say that the cervical mucus contains soluble protein and nutrients.

So does this mean when a sperm cell that its semen has been wiped off, and then transported in to the vagina through tap water, and then entered the vaginal opening, can it still survive and complete its journey without the semen? I mean there are still cervical mucus produced by the vagina to help them with transportation and soluble proteins so that they won't get sluggish and die.

tbh, I'm so tired of having pregnancy fear. I've experienced 2 pregnancy fear and ended up getting my period, and boy how happy I was when i got my period. But aren't there like anything I could do to have a relationship that is sexually active and I don't have to be afraid of ending up pregnant. My previous pregnancy fear was fingering, where my bf has dried recent cum on his fingers and then he fingered me. I got my period 7 weeks after. Yeah and I promised myself to not do it again. Now my boyfriend is restricted from touching my lower part. Now all we do is oral sex and handjobs. But still risky, since he cummed on my stomach and wiped it off then squirted contact lens solution then wiped it off again and i was wearing my pants and underwear and pantyliner. I just hope that I'll end up getting my period again. But isn't there any methods without consuming pills(costly), condom(too risky), vasectomy(too crazy), pull-out(still risky)?
