Question
hello maam,
this is really making me anxious pls help, what are the chances of a woman getting pregnant if she touches semen on a towel,which got there through a disposable paper underwear during the couse of a massage in a spa, the towel would have been lying there at least for 15 minutes after the semen (which touched it through disposable underwear) and then maybe touching her vagina 5 /10 minutes later after maybe touching other surfaces(i realise there are lots of ifs and she would have been careful as they know such things happen during a massage and she would have washed her hands after cleaning up the room or just wouldnt have touched her vagina) but still the question or the possibilities make me anxious


Answer
In my opinion, there is not much chance in a woman getting pregnant in the scenarios you are describing. But I would advise you to not do these kind of things in the future. It is too risky, in my opinion.
So try to relax and find activities that are productive and not this kind. Also, if you engage in sexual activity, there is a possibility of sexually transmitted diseases.
