I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
