Can semen really get through clothes? I've heard that sperm can move with seminal fluid and get through two layers of clothing. Should I be worried about this?

Yes, it is possible for sperm to pass through two layers of clothing along with seminal fluid. However, the chances of sperm successfully reaching the vagina and resulting in pregnancy in this scenario are very low. To reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, it is important to use proper protection such as condoms.

When addressing your concern about semen passing through clothes, it's important to understand a few key points:

  1. Semen and Clothing: Semen can be absorbed by fabrics but does not actively move through multiple layers of clothing on its own.

  2. Sperm Movement: Sperm are microscopic cells within seminal fluid and cannot swim through clothing layers.

  3. Pregnancy Risk: For pregnancy to occur, sperm need to be deposited inside the vagina. Semen on the outside of clothing, especially with two layers, is very unlikely to result in sperm reaching the vaginal canal.

  4. Hygiene and Precautions: If concerned about semen on clothing, changing clothes and washing the area can help reduce any minimal risk.

In summary, you generally do not need to worry about sperm moving through two layers of clothing. If you have specific concerns about contraception or sexual health, consulting a healthcare provider can provide personalized advice and reassurance.

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?

Candid cream for local application,for 2 weeks is advised.
