I am honestly not sure whether or not i am allowed to ask a question like this on this website, I did not see anywhere that I could not. Because this is not a pregnancy scare type of question.
How long could sperm survive in somebody's mouth, in order to impregnate them?
I have been terrified of this happening to me. I used to give my boyfriend head for a year, then something triggered inside of me that I was terrified all of the sudden, completely out of nowhere, that I am afraid of survival of sperm in my mouth. I no longer am giving head. But is this possible? how long could it live in my mouth?
So sorry if I am not allowed to ask this.

This just isn't how human reproduction works. This is a post based in a pregnancy scare, so it's not the kind of conversation we will generally engage in, but I'm going ahead and posting our response to those kinds of posts, which contain links that can fill you in on how human reproduction does and doesn't happen, and what kind of activities do and do not present pregnancy risks.
