Hi, the other day this girl gave me a handjob and some of the semen got on me then i washed it off with a paper towel, and about 5 minutes after i fingered her, is there any chance of her becoming pregnant? thank you

You washed it off--with soap and water?? Or you wiped it off with the paper towel?

You're safe if you washed it off well and dried thoroughly. If you just wiped it perfunctorily with a paper towel, that's not very safe.

Sperm can live for many hours at room temperature outside the body, and much longer if semen is kept warm near body temperature.
In one of my microscope experiments with my semen, I found I still had sperm swimming after 12 hours at room temperature. Granted, most were dead by then, and the ones that were swimming were very sluggish, but they were still kicking! About 7 hours is the life limit for a still fertile number of living sperm in the semen, at room temperature, which is much too cold for long sperm life. Again, if they're kept warmer near body temperature, and away from air so the semen doesn't dry out, the sperm will live for days.
So certainly 5 minutes isn't enough time to kill any sperm at all.
