Question about sperm on hands

Unread post by ivleo »

Hi!
My questions is fairly simple, but I could not find satisfying answers elsewhere. If after any type of sexual contact, semen ends up on my hands, is there a specific way one should wash it off?
I know that it is unlikely for pregnancy to occur in this type of situation, but since I’ve always been washing my hands with soap and hand sanitiser, I was wondering whether that was effective in killing sperm.
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hi there,

Yes, washing with soap and water or with hand sanitizer is enough to kill or remove sperm; they're fragile, so you don't need a special cleaning process in order to get rid of them.
