        Yes. You can definitely get pregnant in a shower- Protection is necessary no matter where you have sex. While water can rinse some of the sperm out, some of those little guys are very very quick and can reach their destination right away. Go get a pregnancy test- and stop having sex without protection. He may not pull out in time- and that is way that unwanted babies appear.

Of course it is possible to become pregnant from this activity.  It is possible to become pregnant even if your boyfriend ejaculates on you without having entered you, you at all, depending on exactly where the "splash" occurred.  As to the likelihood of any such sexual play, I would say that that would vary great depending on the sperm count of the BF and on your own fertility,.  Some couples try for years to have a baby without ever achieving success.  (FYI - Pre-ejaculate lubrication from the guy usually contains at least some sperm.)

The moral of all of this is to get a pregnancy check as soon as possible and to use protection next time.
