Can i get pregnant without deep penetration?

Hi anonymous,
Alison is right. As I suggested to another community guest a few weeks ago: "In the act of sexual activity, even in the act of participating in sports, and personal hygiene maintenance, the hymen could be broken. Anytime there is penis to vagina contact, there is a risk of pregnancy. The risk is small without full penetration, however, the activity still is risky especially where there is any kind of ejaculatory and/or pre-ejaculatory fluid present, both of which can contain sperm."
For more information, please read the following articles of interest:

Hope the additional information helps. Good luck!

Hi,
I am not sure the exact order of events, but here is what I think you are saying:

If your boyfriend ejaculated, wiped off the ejaculatory fluid from his penis, then afterwards his penis may/may not have touched the outside of vagina, there would not be a need to use emergency contraception.

There is the slightest chance that sperm may still have been on the tip of his penis after wiping it off, and it is important to know that if there was enough ejaculatory fluid (containing sperm) and his penis actually penetrated your vagina...there is a small risk of pregnancy in theory. It is such a small risk (and only in theory, I do not believe there are any documented cases of a pregnancy actually occurring in this manner), that it would still not be necessary to take the pill.

The question is if he had a lot of ejaculatory fluid on his penis, and if he penetrated you...you would want to take emergency contraception.

Does that help? Sorry---it is not a yes/no or black/white situation!

Hi Sydney,
"Dry sex" means there is no bodily fluids that come into contact with the other person, so both people would need to have their clothes on.

Losing one's virginity would mean that your boyfriend's penis is inserted into your vagina. This is not possible with clothes on. He can rub his penis on your vagina OVER underwear, and as long as his penis does not "slip" or enter your vagina, you would still be considered a virgin.

If you wear underwear, and your boyfriend is rubbing his penis on your vagina (OVER your underwear) and he ejaculates, semen could potentially spill over your underwear on the side... you know how your underwear does not hug tightly against your body at your thighs? There are big gaps in women's underwear, and it is plausible in the right circumstances that in the "heat of the moment" that enough quantity and force of ejaculatory fluid could come into contact with the vagina.

Basically, however, penetration of the penis into the vagina needs to occur for a pregnancy to be possible.

If you BOTH have clothes on, and he ejaculates, his sperm can not go through clothes. This would be considered "safer sex" and "dry sex", and is a great option for you to be physically intimate with your boyfriend, while protecting your virginity and zero chances of pregnancy.
