I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

I'm a bit worried and confused. My girlfriend told me she's a virgin, but when we had sex, there was no blood. I know that's normal sometimes, but it also felt like her vagina was loose. Even when I tried using two fingers, it still seemed loose. Is it possible for a virgin girl to have a loose vagina?

Yes, a virgin girl can still have a loose vagina due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, physical activities, or medical conditions, as virginity is not solely determined by vaginal tightness or looseness.

I used candid powder to treat a vaginal yeast infection, and I even applied it inside. Should I be worried about any potential side effects from doing this?
