Pregnancy risk through hands?!

So, I was giving oral to my boyfriend and I was also touching his penis with my hands. He then finished in my mouth and there wasn't any visible semen on my hands. I then washed my hands with water and soap and then touched my vagina. This is a ZERO chance of pregnancy scenario right?! (I'm aware it sounds a tad exaggerated but I need reassurance)

Hi Sandrah, welcome to the boards!
Yes, you are right! There is no chance of pregnancy in the situation that you've described. Sperm cells are pretty delicate, so they can't survive being transferred to your hands and then being exposed to soap and water.

Thank you so much for your patience, even though I'm well informed on how conception works I still suffer from severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Since you're telling me that this didn't pose any risk of pregnancy and there are no exceptions (I suppose) I'll try to be more calm, If you have any suggestions on how to stop those recurring thoughts It would be of great help.

Hi Sandrah,
If you know you struggle with anxiety and intrusive thoughts, have you ever spoken with a mental healthcare provider about those? If not, that may be a place to start, just to see if there's a larger mental health issue that needs to be addressed.

I just had my first therapy session today, It will take some effort and patience but some underlying issues have already been addressed and I'm trying to stay positive

I'm glad you've been able to get in to see someone! I suspect the more you're able to address the main source of the anxiety, the more you'll notice it's easier to hold onto the facts of a situation rather than the fears over it.
