Can Sperm Get Through Fabric?
I was curious on two things,First: Is semen/sperm capable of getting through fabric if it isn t fully soaked in or barely on?Second: I know that semen/sperm is almost killed instantly in the mouth from the saliva that breaks it down, but would it be the same case if a thin layer of semen/sperm was on the lips? I guess I just wanna know if it would be able to survive for long at all if the lips were either wet or dry?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the sperm cannot get through fabric.And yes sperm will be destroyed by enzyme in saliva but it might stay long on lips.The lifespan of sperm is 24-36 hours.But within its lifespan it should meet egg or ovum for fertilisation which results in
pregnancy.There is no chance for fertilisation to occur even if sperm is alive on lips so there by no chance for pregnancy.
