Wiped Off Sperm And Finger

[Kipapa134]

19 days ago, my girlfriend and i were fooling around. she and i were having manual sex (finger and handjobs). As i ejaculated, i got cum on my palm but not on my finger, i then wiped them off with tissues and with my underwear. after 1-2 minutes, i fingered her using the same hand but with my middle finger. I fingered her for like 5-8 minutes and she came and we kissed and cuddled. After that i masturbated again while kissing her and i ejaculated again in my palm, the semen that was ejaculated was in little of amount and sticky. I wiped it on my pants, and touched the damp spot with the tip of my fingers right after i wiped it on my pants from my palm. I did not remember wiping my finger after touching the damp spot, to be safe lets just say i didn't. we had a little conversation for a 2-3 minutes. After that, i stupidly went to touch her vagina. Will she get pregnant? I read all of your articles but none if it has set my mind at ease.

What do the articles that you've read here say about the risk of pregnancy from manual sex (fingering)?

[Kipapa134]

No risk, but could i have an explanation on why does it not pose any pregnancy risk?

[Karyn]

So there you go: no risk. As for why that is, this piece explains what is necessary for pregnancy to happen, and how your situation doesn't fit those requirements:

Thank you!

[Karyn]

You're very welcome.

[Kipapa134]

But it says that only one sperm is needed for pregnancy to happen. Do sperm dies when it makes contact with our hand/fingers? Is it true that when a sperm is dry/wiped off, their tails will break off? How long do sperm live if the semen surrounding them are wiped off/dry?

[Kipapa134]

Sorry for adding the questions im just still curious

[Heather]

Actually, it doesn't say that at all: that's a common thing many people say and think is true of reproduction, but isn't, as we make clear in that article. Perhaps a more thorough read of that piece is in order?

[Kipapa134]

Ohh okay. thanks heather and karyn.

I'm freaking out!!! today my girlfriend said she found some very very small light light pink present on her purple panty. It faded off. She said that this was not her first time. Her first time was 1/2 months ago and she got her period. But, my question is, could this be an implantation bleeding or just another sign of period coming? She did not experienced any lower abdominal cramps, nausea, vomitting, tender breasts or anything

[Kipapa134]

Just to add: I have read that if it has been more than two weeks of conception, it is unlikely for the bleeding is due to implantation. But it has already been 23 days after the risk (more than 2 weeks).

Hi Kipapa,

The thing is, we already explained to you what the risk level is. So, you can safely assume that whatever is going on with her body is not related to pregnancy. I am going to ask that you not keep seeking reassurance around this, as doing so keeps you locked in an anxiety loop. Instead, I think it would be sound to talk about why you might be feeling this way, and how to adjust what you two are doing to a level where you feel more comfortable.

[Kipapa134]

Okay. So there are NO pregnancy risk here?

[Sam W]

We've already made that clear to you, and there is lots of information on the main website that explains why it is not (along with how reproduction happens and how sperm works). I need to ask you to not seek any more reassurance around this from us. If you want to talk about where your anxiety may be coming from, how to set new boundaries around sex, or anything else that is not related to this scare, we are happy to do that. I also need to ask that you not keep asking other users who had previous pregnancy scares (especially no-risk ones) if the person involved got pregnant, as that feeds both your anxiety and, sometimes, their anxiety as well.
