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.
