Once sperm is dry, it's dead... so I highly doubt that it lasts up to 2 hours on skin... unless you're in some moist or wet area and trying to keep it alive for some reason.
You're right, schools don't teach a lot about pregnancy risks. Why? Because they also don't teach about sexual activity. Fingering is a type of sexual activity... so is oral sex and so forth and the sad thing is a lot of teenagers look at those things as just 'activities' and not sex at all.
The situation you described sounds like you took her out of context or you weren't listening. You over-reacted, which is normal becuase you haven't been taught a lot, from the sounds of it.
There is a risk of pregnancy through fingering, but it's very slim. One or two droplets of sperm will probably not effect you. I mean, half of the sperm that enters the v****a die instantly from its acidity. Not to mention that the fingers smooshing around the sperm will most likely damage and/or deform the sperm making them less capable of swimming all the way to the egg.

I've noticed that in schools today there isn't enough mention of the risks of pregnancy without intercourse. After all, sperm can survive on the skin for up to two hours. And if you and your parter are having a particularly frisky time and then the man inserts fingers with sperm on them into the womans v****a, or if the woman masturbates with sperm on her hands she is a t risk of becoming pregnant. Even if she is a virgin. (sperm also includes pre-c**)
basically, a couple of weeks ago I missed my period, well it was late but I dont know that at the time. So I thought, meh I'm a virgin. Two weeks later a nurse come to my school and says that you don't have to have sex to get pregnant. Well I nearly died. So I took friend to the family planning clinic to be tested. As it turns out everything was fine, and my period came on the day after. But still thought I should post this here.
The only way to fully prevent pregnancy is to have no sexual contact at all.

Sperm require a very specific environment to survive. There is NO way they can live for two hours. The longest time I've ever heard is 15 minutes. That is why you don't have to worry about getting pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat even if a guy has ejaculated on there recently.
Also the casing around the egg is quite thick. Many many sperm need to work 'together' for just one to get into the egg. Yes schools really should be making it more clear that any sexual activity can lead to pregnancy but I hope you also learned something from this.

Well, you need about 1 milliliter worth of semen to have enough sperm to penetrate the egg, so unless you get a milliliter to get from your skin and up to the egg alive, I highly doubt you'll get pregnant. Sperm are pretty specific about the environment they can live in, and the casing around the egg requires a lot of sperm to get one through.

While I doubt that it could survive that long, it is a risk. Even if it's a slim risk, kids shouldn't be given the idea that it's completly safe. Handjob and immediate masturbation, for example. Dry humping (it's possible to get pregnant from dry humping even if both partners are wearing underwear).
It's especially important for teens to know about this stuff because they are the most fertile. If it's possible at all, it's most likely to happen to teens.
Anyways, I do agree that sex education in schools needs to start much earlier and cover a lot more material.

We are going to learn about teen pregnancy soon, glad i joined this guild.
