Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your post, and for finding EmpowHER. Without real penis to vagina penetration, there is little risk of pregnancy. The real risk is that now that you've done this once, it may not be as easy to stop next time. So the best thing you can do now is to educate yourself as much as you can about sexual activity, and learn how to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy so you won't have to worry in the future. Your relationship has obviously passed into a more "physical" phase, so now is the time to prepare yourself--leave nothing to chance. If you are old enough, and in love enough to do this, you should accept responsibility and advocate for your health.
Here are some articles to read. If you have more questions after reading them thoughtfully, let us know: Am I Pregnant after Dry Sex, Making Out with Clothes On?, Outercourse, Dry Humping, Dry Sex, The Misconceptions of Sex, and Answers for Women: Am I Pregnant After Unprotected Sex?. Finally, here is information about birth control methods. Click on a picture to get more information about the method: Planned Parenthood: Birth Control Effectiveness Chart.
Good luck!
