The answer

The mere contact of semen with a person's body does not necessitate (ritual bath); rather, ghusl becomes obligatory upon its emission with desire. A garment that has been soiled with impurity and then dries is not permissible for prayer before it is purified, nor does it become pure simply by drying. If a dry pure object comes into contact with a dry impure object, it does not become impure. However, if it comes into contact with a wet impure object, there is further detail.
