First time giving hand to my gf

[Josteph]

Hey, sorry if u got this question all over again.

Scenario:
This afternoon i gave a hand job to my gf (not penetrating just outside vagina (im not sure what its called, its below the clit)) im not sure if i touch my penis, assuming my hand touch penis and got precum on it and immediately touch her/ gave her the hand job. Could she be pregnant because of that? From what i read from several post it cant and unless its a fresh sperm and do penetrate. Im sorry, my chest is kinda hurting a lil bit when im thinking about this

Hi Josteph, welcome to the boards!

Don't worry, this situation does not pose a risk of pregnancy. As you might have read in the other posts, sperm cannot survive being transferred across multiple surfaces, and pre-cum doesn't usually have sperm anyway.

You can read more about the pregnancy risks posed by different activities here. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thankyou for the information

So basically its so fragile that it could not be transferred using hand (in my case) and it needs special environment (inside vagina im guessin?) to be alive?

Do you have any anxiety guide regarding this?

Hey there Josteph,

Yes! That is how sperm cells work, they’re very fragile and like to be in certain environments to be able to move. We actually have a resource for this too, where you can learn about sperm cells and what they can/can’t do: Who’s Afraid of Sperm Cells?

We do have resources for anxiety surrounding pregnancy risk. It might help to start with our Pregnancy Panic Companion, which also links to a few more specific articles including anxiety resources. If you go through those and find that you have questions or need more support with finding resources for anxiety, we’re here to help.
