Question:
My boyfriend and I were fooling around about 2 weeks ago and he masturbated and may have gotten cum on his hands, but then WASHED HIS HANDS. He then proceeded to finger me, but not to the point of orgasm. I am 4 days late for my period. Is there any way I could be pregnant???
*I read a question where Konstance McCaffree said that if he washes his hands there is no possible way of pregnancy, is that true?

Dear Really Worried,
First I'd like to say that I think it's great that you've been doing some research and reading questions from other people that might relate to your concern. Secondly, I also think it's great that you're questioning what you read, even from the experts on this website. However, Dr. McCaffree (who is a professor and mentor of mine) is absolutely correct. If your boyfriend had semen on his hands, and then washed his hands, you can be absolutely assured that any live sperm that might have been there are either dead or gone. Sperm (the microscopic white tadpols that live in semen) are incredibly fragile and don't live more than a minute or so outside of the human body. Also, soap is lethal to sperm so when your boyfriend washed his hands, he killed all the sperm on them too.
By now you have probably realized that you weren't pregnant, but worrying about a late period can make it even later. The two of you are to be congratulated for finding ways to enjoy each other's bodies and sexuality while being so safe at the same time. Keep up the good work!
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck!
