Can sperm survive
Last Monday 5/24. I ejeculated into a bath dry towel. I then put that bath towel in the washer with other dry towels only. I added laundry detergent and when that was done I put it in the dryer. My question is can sperm survive a normal laundry cycle and if so if someone were to use one of those towel’s could they get pregnant? Nothing was visibly on any of the towels. I have been freaking out over this for about 4 days. Am I just way over thinking this ? I should have just thrown the towel away

Re: Can sperm survive
Hey Justlove -- no need to worry, the sperm on this towel absolutely did not survive the wash and no one can get pregnant from using the towel. There is a misconception about the strength and intelligence of sperm, which you can read more about here. Additionally, in order for pregnancy to be a possibility, the kind of contact that has to happen is direct genital-to-genital contact between someone with a penis and someone with a vulva and/or direct contact with semen and the vulva, vaginal opening or anus.
Can we help with anything else?
