I'm new here and and have been suffering with extreme anxiety over the possibility of pregnancy from sperm in the environment; Ive basically convinced myself it is EVERYWHERE and if any so much as touches me or I accidentally touch any left by hands on door handles, public benches, even touching my shoes or the floor I could transfer it when I use the toilet or have an intimate moment with myself etc. and possibly become pregnant.
To clarify I'm not having an active pregnancy scare or asking for specific scenario reassurance I just feel I need better education on how hardy semen is once outside of the body, because I'm confused with the information I've found which gives it a lifespan from a few seconds to even a few hours or a day so it's difficult to know what to believe :/
I can barely even go out, accept deliveries at home or deal with being around males at all because of this fear. I'm in the process of talking to a therapist but the waiting list is long and Im not sure how long it'll take, I just feel very scared and alone!
Thank you in advance for reading
