Brief Answer:
Negligible chances

Detailed Answer:
hello...sperm travels in liquid media...sperm has to travel from vagina to cervix to uterus till tubes...it dies in solid media...sperm dies in clothes...1.from dried semen zero chances..from non penetrative sex pregnancy doesn't happen...ejaculate containing sperm should go inside the vagina...sperm live outside of ur body in wet cloth for 20 to 60 minutes...in my opinion there is negligible chances for all ur questions...for getting pregnant...thanks..ask if any query

Thanks Dr. XXXXXXX for your answer

You said that sperms travel in liquid media. So i think sperms are not able to travel in wet clothes because clothes are also solid media that's sperm will die fast on cloths?

Is it easy for sperms to enter to cervix after entering to vagina? What will happen in dry vagina because vagina is dried in minutes. if no penetration done or ejuculation done around vagaina or valvua with clothes on

Brief Answer:
yes,sperm die in clothes..

Detailed Answer:
hello..yes sperm cant travel in solid media like clothes...and even if the clothes are wet...it will die..soon..ejaculation inside vagina is important...sperm can swim 5 mm per minute...sperm does not have a direction or compass straight to vagina,when u ejaculate outside...when u ejaculate inside the vagina,this send the sperm in the right direction...then only,one out of millions of sperms will fertilize egg...vagina has its secretions as well..from vagina it will go into cervix...but penetration and ejaculation inside is necessary...thanks...u can ask if any query

Thanks Dr. I need some clarification please don't mind

so ejaculation inside vagaina is needed. Basically me and my gf had done dry humping some days ago which was her 16th day end of periods from first day of cycle.

There are 3 three layers of clothes in between our genetials. My trouser her dress and then her underwear. I never penetrated, never ejaculated on her vagaina even never rubbed our genetials nakedly.

We had 3 Layers of clothes on all the time. I just had precum on my trouser. Then I ejaculated on her belly upper side of navel which she wiped off immediately with tissues and then with soap and water without removing her dress and underwear. Then After 1 hour she takes bath and changed her clothes I hope sperm died in 1 hour if any where in the cloths. She doesn't see any semen any where when sjee took bath.

But we were worried of pregnancy she is virgin too. For a safe side she took ECP(Morning After Pill)/Plan B in 16th hour of our oral sex.

What are tha chances in our case. We are too much worried :( Thanks for your reply.
