Help
Hi. So me and my girlfriend were touching each other and apparently my girlfriend had some semen on her hand. After that, she hugged me, and a few minutes later she touched her pants, adjusting them and touched her house door with that hand. After that, she went to pee and while washing her vagina, she rubbed it with her hand that had my semen a few minutes earlier. I am wondering, will she get pregnant? Is there any chance that the semen on her hand can possibly have live sperm after it dried and she touched her pants and house door, then rubbing her vagina with water which means her hand will be wet again?

How long do sperm live?
The answer depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is where the sperm are located. On a dry surface, such as clothing or bedding, sperm are dead by the time the semen has dried. In water, such as a warm bath or hot tub, sperm will likely live longer because they thrive in warm, wet environments; however, the chances sperm in a tub of water will find their way inside a female bather and cause her to become pregnant are extremely low.
Inside a woman's body, sperm can live for up to five days depending on the conditions. If you have unprotected sex even a few days before your partner ovulates, there is a chance of achieving a pregnancy.
Hi. Do you mind explaining the mechanism of conception and longevity of sperms outside the body? Thanks for the reply though.
