Can a girl get pregnant if you touch a damp spot of sperm on your boxers with your finger wipe your finger off and put a spermicidal condom on with that same finger and stick it in her vagina?

AnswerNo, the damp spot contains living sperm cells, but the act of wiping it off your finger and using a spermicidal condom has reduced the probability to < 0.01%. the pregnancy is from another introduction of sperm cells AnswerNo she cant get pregnant that way and honestly if you don't know how a girl gets pregnant you obviously don't need to be having sex. Comment to second answer: There are plenty of people that are ignorant about pregnancy. That still doesn't stop them from getting pregnant. Also, whenever sperm has the potential to make contact with the female reproductive system there is always a chance for pregnancy, no matter how small the odds.
