hello.
my question about condoms is this : how long can sperm survive in them ? one morning i visited my boyfriend. he threw in the thrash an used condom from last night (with semen in it) and then fingered me. is there a pregnancy risk from this ? the condom was full with liquid semen, it was not dry. he washed his hands.

question about dry sex : can sperm pass through very wet clothes ? for example, if the girl is wearing bikinis and leggings and is very wet and the boy is naked, can sperm pass through the clothes ?

ectopic pregnancy : is it possible to experience period-like bleeding during one ? how is it detected ? i hear that while pregnancy tests can usually spot it, they are around 89 % effective, not the claimed 99%..

I am terrified that if I ever get pregnant I will not find out early enough to have an abortion..
