Condoms

Unread post by Ryan111 »

When putting a condom on, is it cause for concern if i accidentally touch the tip of my penis while putting the condom on and then potentially spread whatever pre cum that may have been on my penis on to my condom?

Hi Ryan111, Welcome to the Boards!

Sperm are very delicate, so they can only survive outside the body for so long and could not survive the trip from the penis to the hand to the condom to the vagina. The only time there is a risk of pregnancy is if there is direct genital-to-genital contact or if ejaculate directly makes contact with the vulva or vaginal opening. If you have more questions you can take a look at this source here: https://www.scarleteen.com/blog/patrici ... perm_cells
