    Anonymous: Doesn't ejaculate technically have to be visible (like wet and gooey) on one's hand for it to pose a pregnancy risk?

    Hi anon,

    In order for sperm to be viable (able to cause a pregnancy) they need to be in the fluids they are ejaculated in. Once those fluids dry up the sperm die. However, you can’t “see” sperm, they’re too tiny.

    I hope this clarifies.
