Question:
My question is on sperm survival. If I ejaculate at night around 9pm and I get seman on
myself but I try to wipe it all off with a towel, what are the
chances that any of the sperm from that ejaculate could have somehow gotten unto the carpets,
then unto my shoes when I stepped on the carpet, then unto the tires of my car (my stepping into the tire path),
then driving 5 miles, then my girlfriend stepping unto the path that my tire traveled,
then get some sperm unto her hand when she takes off her shoes and touches the
bottom of it, then get it into her vagina after wiping with t.p. after urinating around 9am the following morning.
Is there any chance that pregnancy could occur? I know there is a difference
between realistic chance and theoretical chance, but in the scenario I just described,
is there any chance at all or am I just being paranoid?

Thanks for your question. I can assure you, that sperm is far more fragile than to be alive after the trip you describe.
Sperm is so fragile that the male must ejaculate 200 million in each small tablespoonful of semen. Without the semen, it has no chance of survival. By 9 a. m. in the morning the semen is long dried (and probably on the towel back at your house!) and never even made it past the first five minutes when you wiped it off.
There is no realistic chance that it could survive that trip!
