People also ask, can I get pregnant if sperm touches the outside?
You can get pregnant if you have intercourse and a male releases his sperm inside of your vagina. You can even become pregnant if you don't have vaginal intercourse! This can happen if a male releases his sperm outside of your body near your vagina because sperm can find their way to an egg.
can a virgin get pregnant if sperm is on the outside?
Pregnancy is possible any time there's vaginal penetration with a penis — even if the person who has a penis doesn't ejaculate. It can also happen if they ejaculate outside, but near, the vaginal opening.
Outside of the body, sperm may die quickly when they're exposed to the air. Sperm that's been ejaculated into a woman can live inside the uterus for 5 days. That's why it's possible to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex while menstruating.
