Hi, I'm 23 years old lady and I'm still a virgin. I have a bf and we've been together for more than 4 years. We never had 'real' penetration or sexual intercourse (saving it for the marriage). But today we made out and he only put his tip into me (only like half an inch to an inch) but did not cum in me. I am just a little concerned and went online to search for answers, and some people even mentioned that with what i've done, i'm actually not a virgin anymore! but no pain no blood flow happened.

Anyway, my question is, will i get pregnant this way? isit really true that if sperm was only near the vagina, i will get pregnant?

only supportive and real answers please.. i know i shud've used contraception, but it was our first time, and we didn't really planned for it to happen.

thanks..

Anytime you have unprotected sexual intercourse there is a risk of pregnancy. The withdrawal method you used is only about 70% effective at preventing pregnancy every time. If you are continuing to be sexually active with your girlfriend, you may want to start using more reliable birth control like condoms, spermicide, or birth control pills. If you are really concerned about pregnancy you may even want to use 2 methods.

Good luck, and let us know if you have other questions after reading the articles.

She may have had worry about the sexual activity that made her feel ill, or she could have had a viral infection like the flu. I'm glad she's ok now. If she misses her next period, she can take a pregnancy test to confirm if she is pregnant or not. I'm sorry, but you will need to wait until that time to know for sure. But as you described it, she likely isn't pregnant. Be sure to not put yourselves at risk for unwanted pregnancy in the future to avoid more worrying.
Good luck!

okay so the other night this guy and i started making out, and he was only able to get it in half-way through before it hurt me like a bitch also he did not cum &. im pretty sure he used a condom but he couldve used it wrong. does this count for sex? and losing my virginity? . also i was on my last day of my period, but that night and the day after i bled alittle, does that mean i couldve broke my hemen? cos it didnt go all the way throughp

Hi Anonymous,
Regardless if it's an inch or the full length of his penis, it's sex. It is unclear if it was your hymen as many times the hymen already is broken even before engaging in sex. Also, you were having your period, so it could have been that as well.
In the future, you may want to be sure, instead of "pretty sure," your partner is using a condom. Engaging in sexual intercourse without contraception does increase your risk of contracting STD/STIs and getting pregnant. Having sex with multiple partners increases these risks.
For more information, please thoughtfully read the following articles: The Misconceptions of Sex, Help! The Condom Broke During Sex: How to Prevent "Wardrobe Malfunctions", and Am I Pregnant? Myths and Facts About Sex.
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.

Hi Anonymous,
I really did want to know how you're doing. Please try to remain calm. There is slight risk from what you describe. But more than likely you are not pregnant from what happened. If you could be more sure he was using a condom, your risk would be even less.
I would be more concerned about this "jerk", who's spreading rumors about you. Do you have some good friends you can rely on right now? Have you told them what happened? Can you talk with him and tell him what he's doing is not cool? It may even just be better to let it blow over and not get involved. I know how things like this can be upsetting and make you feel ill. But please be assured it's more than likely not because of any possible pregnancy. It's just stress from what happened. It may be a good idea to try and not get caught up in the drama of what happened. If you need to, talk with a trusted adult or school counselor--you don't have to name names, just get it off your chest what happened, and they likely will be able to help you get past it. If that doesn't sound like something you want to do, just try rely on close friends, and focus on your school work. Thank goodness it's nearly Spring Break--the time off may be good for you. Try to avoid any future run-ins with the jerk, and stay away from sex to keep from worrying needlessly? What do you think?

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Do you have any supportive friends or adults you can talk to?

If he wore a condom and did not ejaculate, you would not have a risk of pregnancy. I hope that helps.

Hi, I'm 21 years old. I haven't had sex, until yesterday, I think. I'm so worried to get pregnant. It is my first time I do something like that. My boyfriend and I were fooling around, and he asked me if he could penetrate me, in the first time he asked me, I said no; but later I changed my mind, and I told him that just the tip of his penis...but with the condom on. So, he put it on and he tried to penetrate me, but it hurt so bad that my reaction was to remove myself from there...He tried several times to get inside....thing that didn't happen,,,I believe...I may said that only his tip got inside a little bit....I really don't know!....but I'm so sure that he didn't get all the way inside...I can't stop thinking if I may be pregnant...we used condom....but those feelings of concern are there............& now all down there hurts.......and I'm paranoid....I'm considering in taking the next day pill, but my boyfriend says that I should not take it....because he says he did not cum.......
Please, I hope somebody can help me to clear my mind and to teach me more about sex and alternatives to not get pregnant, and the why it hurts so much. I will be extremely grateful. Thank you for taking your time.
