Didn’t have sex, but still worried about pregnancy…
Q: I’ve read your FAQ and read that, “It is almost impossible for a woman to become pregnant from a man ejaculating on her clothing or near her underwater. ”
My situation is that I’ve never had direct genital contact with my boyfriend (no penetration, no rubbing genitals, no nothing).
However, I’ve masturbated him, and although after his ejaculation was always on his body (and never near me), and that we have always washed our hands with water and soap afterward, not always did we wash his penis. We did wipe it dry though, and put it back in his pants.
I’m worried if I could get pregnant from him touching his penis for some reason and then touching me (which is always from the ‘outside’ too, once I have always, at least, my underwear on), therefore transferring some sort of residue with his fingers and allowing sperm near my vagina.
Or maybe, from a second time after ejaculation, if he touches the outside of my panties with a little precum on his fingers. I’d like to just mention that he has never touched my with his hands soaking with semen, nor dripping precum and that he has never directly touched my vagina (always at least one layer of clothing between us).
My period is now 3 days late and I’m starting to freak out, specially because I didn’t feel PMS symptoms this month. Could I be pregnant?
A: The only way for a woman to get pregnant is for semen to be directly inserted into the vaginal canal. Pregnancy is a fairly delicate process, and many things have to go well for a pregnancy to take hold.
From the situations you describe, it is very, very unlikely if not impossible for you to be pregnant. It is not possible to get pregnant through clothing. So any amount of semen or sperm on the outside of your underwear is not going to lead to pregnancy. If he touches his penis and then touches the outside of your clothes, you will not get pregnant. Even if he touched his penis and touched your vagina directly, it is very unlikely that you could become pregnant.
Menstrual cycles can be impacted by many things, including eating and sleeping habits, and stress. Sometimes, excessive worry about your cycle can contribute to it being late. We recommend that you relax, take care of yourself, and contact a medical health provider if you continue to have concerns. If you are still worried, you can always take a pregnancy test to answer your questions concretely.
