Precum and fingering

[unknownboy_]

Hello, I'm sorry if asked this question as it may seems stupid.
So yesterday, me and my girlfriend fingering each other. The things that made me worried is, I'm scared if theres any sperm or precum on my hand/finger. As before we do it, I touched my down there boxer to check because there is wet most likely its precum ( i guess it have dried after that ), but I did washed my hand after that with water. So after I washed my hand, then i started to finger her. Is there any possible for her to get preg from that activity? Im scared if theres any precum left on my finger or hand after i washed my hand. According to the calendar, shes getting her period next week, and her ovulation is around 1-5 august. I need an answer for this

Hey unknownboy_,

Welcome to the boards!

So it seems like since you washed your hands after feeling anything wet, there should be very low, to no risk of pregnancy in this situation. Sperm in general can only live for a number of seconds in the open air, and especially if ejaculate fluid is dried, all of the sperm are essentially dead at that point. Washing your hands in between activities is always a good way to both prevent transfer of fluids and also bacteria from entering the body, so good on you for doing that! If you are still worried at all about risk, I would just advise to keep communicating with your girlfriend and when she gets her period you can both rest easy! But again, there seems to be very little risk of pregnancy here to begin with.

Is there anything else we can help you with today?

So is washing hands before doing it means safe? This sounds stupid, but can a sperm or precum came back alive when the time i finger her? So is there any chance she can get preg?

Hi!

Not a stupid question at all. Once sperm cells have died there is no way to bring them back to my life. So either dried or washed off, there will be very low risk once out in the open air. Washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water is the best way to easily prevent any transfer of fluids.
