Can I get pregnant masturabting in the bath/shower?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I would really like an answer, so sorry.
This might be a silly question, but I worry I lot and this has been plaguing on my mind for for some time now.

I have a habit of masturbating in the bath/shower, (where a stream of water from a tap or shower is directed onto the clitoris,) and I'm really worried that I can become pregnant by doing this. I always make sure to wait at least half an hour between other people's showers before I do it, and I don't use my hands. I only use the water. Before I may have touched the skin close to my parts, but I try never touch the actual bit. Also, I try to wash my hands really well before, even though I do not touch. I guess I'm worried there will be sperm on the tap, which will wash onto me via the water. As for where it may come from; I live with my parents and on and off we have had other male visitors to stay, who have used our bathroom.

I know this is a silly question, but it's something I get really worried about, and I need an answer. Also, any advice on how I can reduce my risks even further? Thanks so much in advance if I get an answer.

No, you can't get pregnant this way. Even if one of the men left sperm on the shower handle by the time you got in there the sperm would be dead. It can't live long outside of the body.
Never be worried about asking a question, especially when something is really bothering you.

So, it's not likely that sperm might somehow get into me via the external area, if they get on through the water? Sorry to bother you, and thanks so much for replying!
