Does Semen Survive For Long Outside The Body?

default
Posted on Sat, 4 Apr 2015
Question: I have a question regarding chance of pregnancy. Recently there was some semen left on the toilet paper roll accidentally. About 15 - 30 minutes after that the toilet paper was used to wipe after peeing. Additionally about an hour after that intercourse occurred with condom.
Is it possible for pregnancy to occur from the semen that was on the toilet paper in this manner?
Would the sperm be able to be viable for that long and get pushed up into the vagina during intercourse?

No there is no chance to get pregnancy as sperms cannot survive in outside environment for so long.
