Question:
I NEED HELP CAUSE I CAN'T GET IT OFF MY MIND!!! Ok, me and my girlfriend were fooling around and I want to know the possibility of her becoming pregnant if this situation happened: So, what's the possibility of her becoming pregnant if somehow I got some sperm on a one of my fingers then wiped it off pretty good to where it's dry, then I fingered her. Meaning used my finger for her to masturbate. Please help me. I can't get this off my mind.

You should know that although sperm can live outside of your body for approximately an hour, it is most potent when it is wet. The fact that you dried your hand first is a good sign. For the safest measures against disease, it is best to use precautions around dried bodily fluids, not allowing the fluid to come into direct contact with your skin. Let the anxiety you are feeling propell you to get up and *wash* your hands next time, just to be sure!
