vaginapaginaI don't really think I have anything to worry about, but just because I'm always worrying, I thought I'd post here and get some opinions.
This morning my boyfriend and I were fooling around, and we were both in our underwear - me in a kind-of lace pair from victoria's secret, that cover but barely, and he was in his boxers, with his penis sticking out accidentally, and we were making out, and came unexpectedly and it was a little below my left hip, one my skin and my underwear and a little on my pubic hair. i wiped it off and everything afterwards, but i found something later tonight that might be dried up semen, but i know i'm also ovulating so i've been extra "gooey," so it could've been that.
anyways, what i'm asking is do i have a reason to be worried about being pregnant - and how readily available is the morning-after pill in new york city? that's where i live, and i remember hearing about something that passed a while back that made it possible to get the morning-after pill over-the-counter - but that could be wrong, though if it is available, i'd really want to get it just to be safe.
how worried should i be?

Date: 2006-10-18 02:18 pm (UTC)Everything I've ever read is fairly clear on the fact that sperm does not die upon contact with air. However, it dries as soon as no moisture exists to maintain it (i.e. semen), and that while the amount of time that takes varies (http://www2.oakland.edu/biology/lindemann/spermfacts.htm) (obviously larger deposits of semen will take longer to dry -- scan down to the doctor's response to his "most frequently asked question"), some sources suggest that sperm can survive for as long as 20 minutes (http://www.scarleteen.com/reproduction/adv_oxygen.html) outside the body.
