Hello, swallowing semen will not cause any issues.
Ejaculating on underwear may leave stains, but the chances of getting pregnant from wearing underwear that has semen on it are very low.
The risk of bacterial infection is also minimal; it may just have an unpleasant odor.
Wishing you good health.

When it comes to the topic of pregnancy and sexual activity, particularly oral sex and the potential for pregnancy from semen on underwear, it's important to clarify some key points based on medical knowledge.

Firstly, oral sex itself does not lead to pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg, which typically happens through vaginal intercourse. In the scenario you described, where oral sex is performed and semen is either swallowed or deposited on clothing, the likelihood of pregnancy is extremely low. Sperm must enter the vaginal canal to have a chance of fertilizing an egg. Therefore, if semen is on underwear, it is unlikely to cause pregnancy unless it somehow makes its way into the vagina, which is highly improbable.

Regarding the specific concerns about semen on underwear, it’s important to note that sperm can only survive outside the human body for a limited time. Once semen dries, the sperm are no longer viable. Additionally, the acidic environment of the vagina is not affected by external factors like semen on clothing. The vaginal environment is designed to protect against infections and maintain a healthy balance, so the presence of dried semen on underwear does not pose a risk for pregnancy.

As for the question about swallowing semen during oral sex, it is generally safe from a pregnancy perspective, as the sperm would not reach the reproductive organs. However, it is essential to consider sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If either partner has an STI, oral sex can transmit these infections, so practicing safe sex is crucial.

Regarding your concerns about hygiene and potential infections, it is true that wearing soiled underwear or not maintaining proper hygiene can lead to bacterial infections. If there is a discharge or any unusual odor, it is advisable to change underwear and maintain cleanliness to prevent infections. If you experience any discomfort, unusual discharge, or symptoms of infection, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

In summary, the chances of becoming pregnant from oral sex or semen on underwear are negligible. However, it is vital to prioritize safe sexual practices to avoid STIs and maintain good hygiene. If you have further questions or concerns about your sexual health, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and support.
