i know this sounds strange but its true :(

My cousin who is like my best friend told me she had sex with her boyfriend with contraception..BUT about 20-30 minutes later she used the baby wipe he used to wipe off all the extra sperm..she used it to clean her areas after sex too! but she didnt know that the babywipe has sperm on it until her boyfriend told her :O

She was also on the pill but missed a couple a few days after or before sex i think becuase she ran out of the pack!

Do you think she could have gotten pregnant from sperm on a babywipe 20-30 minutes after sex?

really worried for her

thanks for the help btw guys :D

It's unlikely, but it is possible. Sperm can survive that long outside of the body, and a baby wipe wouldn't kill sperm. Did she just wipe the outside, or did she use it inside as well? That would up the odds!!



I'm confused, anyway. What was she "cleaning up,"??? Obviously there was no sperm vagina contact, because in that case, they'd be worried for that reason. She wasn't wiping sperm off her, clearly. If he was wiping it off himself cause he used a condom, or ejaculated somewhere else (like in a towel), then what would she have on HER to wipe off? She shouldn't have had any reason to wipe herself! This whole thing smells fishy to me,........... forgive the pun :p

This is not theoretically impossible, but highly unlikely. Sperm dies if it is dried, but can live for a few days under "perfect" conditions - i.e. in the warmth and wetness of the vagina. A baby wipe exposed to the air for that amount of time would not likely have a large amount of sperm still living. If you take into account the massive reduction of sperm, wiping essentially outside of the vagina and the fact that a woman is only fertile for a few days, the chance of pregnancy is exceedingly low.

Sperm doesn't die right away. It depends on the temperature of the wipe. If it were kept at body temperature, 98.6 degrees, then the sperm can live well over an hour. Lower temperatures will kill most of the sperm. The travel up the vagina and uterus would kill any sperm that might have survived.

what i know is, human sperm dies in a few minutes maybe 2 to 3 when fully exposed to light and air.

This is what I think... I heard that sperm dies right away once its contacted with the air. So, most likely the sperms died. It should be okay. To be on the safe safe, tell her to get a pregnancy test. =T

Sperm cannot live outside the body

no not at all.. firstly she'd need to be ovulating secondly the sperm would be dead and they wouldnt get far enough inside.. dont worry

She wiped dead sperm on to her genitals. If she get's pregnant it's because she lied to you

sperm dies immediately once it hits the oxygen, it is only safe inside the vagina.



relax, your friend will be okay

sperm dies immediately after it is exposed to air.

no need to worry :)

baby wipes dont kill sperm cells.i had a friend that was messing with a girl in bed and he came in his boxers and it soaked through his boxers and the from of his boxers touched the girls vagina and she got pregnant.
