So, I'm kinda worried about this. If someone touches a penis with their hand and then puts that hand into a vagina, is there any chance it could lead to pregnancy? Just trying to understand how this works.
Well dear if there is any chance of contact with the semen then only there are chances of pregnancy...So in your case you don't mention about it so there is no chance of pregnancy
