Hi- Well, i need some help with this topic. If you accidentally get cum on your pants, and then you stick them in the washingmachine with other clothes (with soap/detergent), theres no way the clothes can still contain sperm can it? No one can get an STD if the clothes are washed?

Needhelp! quick!
-
While theoretically it can't be absolutely ruled out, I've never heard of either pregnancy or STDs resulting from washed clothes, and cum-soaked stuff in the washing machine must be very common.
-
I can imagine thats true...Soap does kill sperm...so I dont think I should have a problem...Thanks
-
I wouldn't say it could be ruled out either. But the chances that the sperm are dead by the time the pants to into the wash are pretty great.I vote don't worry about it.
-
from what I learned in heath class... sperm dosn't live very long out side the body. I'm sure you don't have anything to worry about.
-
It can live for a while if it doesn't dry out, and if temperature is not too extreme.
-
We have to consider also that with lots of water to dilute it, then spinning then rinsing and spinning twice, there would be very little of the original cum left in the wash. On top of that, clothes are usually dried before wearing, which would effectively kill any sperm left.
-
Both the temperature being high enough and water diluting the sperm makes it 99.9% impossible. If you want to be 100% ok, then clean your underwear with some water first, then put it in the hamper to be washed.

semen is produced and only survives within a narrow temperature range. Your scrotum loosens and contracts constantly to adjust the temperature to keep it within the desired range. Also, men who wear tight underwear often have low sperm counts since they are keeping their testicles close to their body all the time and the temperature is too high.
Thus once sperm departs the body (without going into a warm area) and is exposed to cool temperatures (and normal room temperature feels cold to sperm) it basically drops dead within minutes. So whether it is in your underwear or on your pants, once you remove them and they in a laundry basket (or on the flooor for those who are not neat about where they throw their clothes) for a while there is not a hope in heck of the sprem surviving for long.
Add in the varied temperatures used to do laundry (from cold to hot water and the heat of the dryer) plus the detergents and you can be pretty sure not much (whether it be sperm, STD's or even insects) will survive under such conditions.
