Brief Answer:
Least possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

It is not possible for the sperm to remain active outside the body and without a suitable medium for a long time.

Hence it is least likely that pregnancy can occur by sitting on a toilet seat which could have semen. Several factors like the presence of alive sperms, ascent through the parts of the body without lubrication, availability of the ovum at the time are not at all likely to occur.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti. V.
