sperm

so i was wondering how long sperm actually maintains its function of fertilization after its exposed to air?
in other words how long before it dies after i have ejaculated and had some on my hand before i fingered my gf.

Sperm can live outside the body for a few hours, inside the body for a couple days.

Next time, go wash your hands. It is very unlikely that she is pregnant, but yes, it can happen, and if you are not ready to be a daddy, I suggest taking the proper precautions.

SHES NOT PREGNANT. YOU HAV TO HAVE SEX TO GET PREGNANT

whats with all these omg my bf fingerd me am i pregnant posts

ok some people keep saying well its very rare to happen but it does, like 1 in 1000000000000000000000000 and theres always someone who says "well my ____'s sisters friend got pregnant that way..." and oddly enough it never happens to the person talking.

shes not pregnant. if you two are so worried about getting pregnant she needs to be on some form of birth control and you need to refresh your ex ed.
