bad sex ed

Has there been any research on how delicate sperm is?

I've read on many, many websites that a single drop of semen can cause pregnancy. They make it seem like almost anything can cause pregnancy. Also my sex ed teacher made it seem like anything can cause pregnancy

For example they make this seem possible

If a girl has semen on her hands after participating in manual sex (hand job) and does not wash her hands and goes to the bathroom to urinate, they say the sperm can transfer from her hand on to the toilet paper and on to her vagina and from there the sperm would swim up into her cervix.

I would really appreciate a detailed explaintion why this can or can't happen and why.

As unlikely as it may seem it can happen! N that's the point to know that even if the chances are small there is a chance and you never know if u will be that small percentage! There is nothing that sets u apart from anyone else to exempt you from being that small percentage! I've known people who have gotten pregnant on the pill, IUD, mirana, and after getting their tubes tied! I've even had friends from when i was in high school who swear the guy ejaculated outside of them or on them n ended up pregnant! Regardless the above statement can happen it just takes one sperm!

It is very unlikely but it is possible as Nicole stated. It doesn't have legs but it does have a tail like a fish. It can swim. But as I said, it is EXTREMELY unlikely.

If semen gets on your hand and you touch your vagina, yes it can cause pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, sperm dies when it's dry. Not as soon as it hits the air. Otherwise men wouldn't be able to give a semen analysis.
