Sperm Life

Hi,

This is quite embarressing but here is the question:  If I masturbate and use toilet roll to clean my semen (which I may have left some semen on the roll) and my wife use the same toilet roll in about five minutes time to clean her virgina, will she get pregnant ?  Thanks for your help.

The live sperm would have to make its way into the vagina, where it can remain active for a number of days. The chances of this occurring and then resulting in fertilization of an egg is remote at best. One would have to stop short of saying it is absolutely impossible, but it is nearly so.

I have a question on the life of sperm...Say me and my girlfriend have sex, then i take the condom off and ten minutes later i put on another one we have sex again, but this time the condom breaks...Is it possible for the remaining sperm on my penis from the first time having sex, get her pregnant, or does the sperm not live long outside of the womb or genitals.

Yes, it's possible.

I have a question, if i shoot sperm outside the vagina of my girlfriend during mutual masturbation, is it possible that she may get pregnant?

How long does sperm live outside the body in a vessel, such as a sterile vial?
