Scarleteen

Hey scarleteen,

From the article "Who's Afraid Of Sperm Cells?", I've read a lot of information about sperm cells but I have a question about sperm cells from my situation, where I wiped cum from my stomach with a fabric cloth and squirted some contact lens solution on my stomach (cause that was the only water solution I have in the room) and wiped them off again. I was also wearing a pantyliner (4th day of my period), my underwear, and my shorts. After 5-7 minutes, I went to the toilet to pee.

The thing that I fear from my situation is getting myself pregnant by:

-while I was peeing, some of the contact lens solution transported some of the sperm cells towards my vaginal opening when I removed the "shields"(underwear/pantyliner/shorts) that were protecting my vaginal opening.

But the reason I'm posting is, from the article "Who's Afraid Of Sperm Cells", I have questions. Can sperm cells still move from stomach to the vaginal opening IF the semen is already wiped? and, what is the average time does sperm cells have before they die after the semen is wiped?
