Can semen seep through jeans and get her pregnant?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Can semen seep through the guy's underwear and jeans, followed by the girl's jeans and underwear, and get her pregnant? The guy's jeans were not wet. But let us assume even if it was just slightly wet, can that wetness seep through the girl's jeans and underwear and result in pregnancy?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I fully understand your concern and will surely help you.

Firstly let me assure you that with the information presented by you, there is no chance of any pregnancy, and you are safe. Now let me explain the process of pregnancy to you. For getting pregnant, the sperms have to be ejaculated or injected inside the vagina of the female. These sperms then need to fertilize an egg (which is available during the ovulation period of the female). The fertilized egg then needs to be implanted into the uterus of the female. When all this happens successfully, then a female is said to have conceived. In your case, no sperms were ejaculated as there was no physical penetration, so just do not worry. Also, sperms survive on surfaces like cloth, etc., for few seconds only, so even if the guy had released semen inside his underwear, the sperms would have died in few seconds. Sperms cannot cross through four layers of clothing in any case and then enter the vagina of the female. So just do not worry. You are 100% safe from pregnancy. I am always there for you, just do not worry.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Hi doctor,

That was really helpful. I am just worried because I have read articles where they said that sperms could pass through clothes. So I was just confused.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

See what you would have read, maybe through one layer of cloth under some ideal lab condition. Also then the sperm has to reach the egg and fertilize it. The sperms are not capable of penetrating through four layers of cloth, out of which two are thick jeans cloth. Just do not worry. The sperms cannot survive in the open air for long. The maximum life has been found to be varying up to two minutes in ideal humidity and temperature condition. I am always there for you, and please share if I can be of any help.
