Q: 

Can you get pregnant due to dry humping?

So the past 2 months, i've been getting my period exactly on the 22nd. When I'm stressed, i know it can delay. My boyfriend and I were pretty much dryhumping, but he had boxers and jeans on, and i had my underwear (it was lace, and i'm afraid that maybe stuff can get through easier) and pantie liner on, although at times i felt like my pantie liner wasn't in place right, but just around the clitoris area. It's past the 22nd, but sometimes my period isn't always exact of course, but i've been pretty paranoid after dryhumping. I've been very active with school, and not getting good sleep and afraid that maybe i've been overactive to where my body can't keep up. I recently got a cold and wondering if that can affect my period in some way. Although lately, I haven't been that nervous about it. My discharge has been kind of heavy, whiteish and yellowish. This only started about more than a week ago. My boyfriend and I did dry heaving on the 17th. I've been kind of moody and a little cramping. I'm worried about being pregnant or something. please tell me advice.

Hi, I'm little concerned about one thing. Me and my girlfriend had sex yesterday. She did a hand job to me and I ejaculated. She had panties on and said that little drop of sperm landed on her leg. I checked if this is true but didnt find anything. Checked also her pants and area around it and didnt find anything, not even a mark on her pants. My question is, could she get pregnant from a sperm that landed on her pants or on the end of them and then slided in.

Hello Anonymous,

No, there was no risk for becoming pregnant.

I've got last question, her underwear was slightly wet due to her vaginal fluids, if by some miracle little drop of sperm landed on her wet spots, could she get pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

beyond a miracle, the answer is still no.

Thank you so much for these answers. But just to be sure, there is no risk of pregnancy at any of these cases, am I right?

But even if a little drop of sperm did land on her underwear, would it be possible to make her pregnant? Didnt notice even a small wet spot on her panties, but I could have missed it somehow.

Hi Anonymous,

No. Sperm are in semen and would not get through her panites.

Hello my name is Lisa. I have read this whole article with all of the comments and it has eased my mind and after reading all of your responses I know that sperm cannot travel through clothing but I think I just need my own reassurance. Last night my boyfriend and I were dry humping. I was wearing a skirt and my underwear and he was wearing his shorts and boxer briefs. The front of his pants became very wet but I think it was just from my own excitement. I'm about 99% sure that he did not even ejaculate because I gave him a hand job a couple minutes later and the inside of his boxers was not wet. The whole time my underware remained onbut like I said they became very wet. His underware remained on to and then when he ejaculated from the hand job all of it just got on my hand and his stomach and I washed my hands right after. So if by chance he did ejaculate while we were dry humping would there be any chance of me becoming pregnant? The only reason I ask is because I've read that if the underware of the women is wet enough the sperm can use that moisture to find its way to the vagina. Even writing this I feel funny. But I am not supposed to get my period until next Thursday (sep 1st) so I still have about a week to wait. So if there's any way to ease my mind I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Lisa.

Hello Lisa,

I don't know what article you read, but think of clothing as a barrier or trap. Sperm stays trapped in his boxers and shorts, while your underwear acts as a barrier.

Relax:)

Thank you :) I didn't really think I was pregnant haha. Just needed my own reassurance. Now I am starting to feel some tenderness in my nipples. Is that normal to get a week before my period?
