Worrying over nothing?
Me and my boyfriend are both virgins and have been dating for 3 years. We fool around occasionally but other than just fooling around, we don't do anything too risky. The other day we were fooling around and his penis was rubbing against my clitoris. He isn't sure if he pre-came but I nonetheless am worried either way. We do this often and nothing has happened, thank God. He doesn't usually get anywhere near the opening, only on my clitoris. I've heard 2 things: Sperm can live and travel up to my vaginal entrance and up into me, etc..and that sperm cannot live when it is touched by air. Also, he didn't ejaculate anytime before the time we fooled around and if he did days in advance, then he surely urinated. I also finished my period last friday and am not sure if that is time enough for me to be ovulating [?] I worry big time and I know that I shouldn't be doing anything if I am not prepared for the consequences but it happens and I know it shouldn't. What I am asking for is facts, true proven material that I can feel safe about. I know that there is a possibility of course that I can get pregnant but ugh! it is just worrying me so much. I want answers. I have done my research but do not feel so confident because of many different replies. Thanks in advance.
You can get pregnant if ejaculate comes into contact with your vagina, whether inside or outside. The risk is obviously greater if he ejaculated inside of you. But there's still a risk anytime you mess around and get sperm near your vagina.
I think you're fine =)
Yes, sperm can travel up the vagina but, it has to have a medium (fluid) to swim in, i.e your vaginal fluids. It cant "crawl" from the outside of your skin and into your vagina. Now, if he is ejaculating near the opening,or the sperm "dripping" to the opening, there may be a greater risk.
If you're not ready to be pregnant, practice safe sex. Not only to avoid getting pregnant, but also to avoid STD's. BTW, if you have a normal 28 day cycle, you ovulate 14 days after the first day of your last period. That's not ALWAYS the case with every woman, so don't use that method to avoid pregnacy. Be safe all the time, everytime.
Relax!!!=) You're fine. If you need the piece of mind, take a pregnancy test***
