Yes she has given me some advice but these days is really difficult to manage and just waiting for my period for confirmation is exhausting and most of the times it keeps me from enjoying my daily life no matter how I try to distract myself

Thank you for the useful suggestions. I'm trying to manage as best as I can but sometimes, like today, I fall once again in the loop of reassurance seeking and when I find even the smallest piece of info that indicates that I could've had a risk of pregnancy I panic even though I have many resources...

You're right, for now the best thing to do for me is just to distract myself even though it is hard as my brain is somehow convinced that I could be pregnant in someway from this "accident". I'm also expecting my period in a few days and my mind just wanders there, like "what if my pe...

Yes, where I live you need a prescription to get hormonal birth control and where I stand now with my anxiety just the thought that no birth control method is 100% effective just scares me. I think for now I'd be better off abstaining from sexual activities or at least the ones that actually pose a ...

I think the main reason that I feel uncomfortable talking about sex related fears is that growing up I always needed to figure out things by myself and I never received any proper direct sex education, there was never any conversation about these things with my parents or with anyone that weren't fr...

Thank you, you can't imagine how grateful I am to have found this place. Unfortunately anxiety is something I struggled with for pretty much all my life but now since I got in this relationship where things are getting more intimate this anxiety latched on sex, specifically the pregnancy risk. While...

I would really appreciate that, I've been struggling a lot recently

I understand I don't think bothering you with more questions would help, I think just have to manage my anxiety around this and convince my brain I'll be fine, thank you

Also, I've seen on Planned Parenthood for example (which I think is a reliable source) that manual sex could pose a small pregnancy risk. But then they also link to here and you say that it doesn't at all... Contradictory info like this is also what is causing my confusion and doubts

Hi, sorry if this comes off as reassurance seeking but even tho I have some trouble calming my anxieties this is more out of curiosity. I've been reading other stuff about pre ejaculate and I'm understanding that it poses a pregnancy risk only when it's deposited in the vagina because of the little ...

Thank you so much for the reassurance and your patience

So I can be 100% sure nothing will happen and I don't have to take any emergency contraception, that would just be unnecessary?

I just wanted to know why other sources say that there still a slight chance of pregnancy, it's not that I think this site is unreliable but that's just fueling my doubts and insecurities

Thank you for the reply, I'll try to keep my kind at peace and convince myself I'll be just fine

What I'm understanding despite my doubts, If all I received was fingering and I never had penetrative sex or any kind direct contact between naked genitals I would have absolutely 0 chance of pregnancy even if there was pre ejaculate or ejaculate on those fingers (I'm mainly worried about pre ejacul...

Hi, in this article https://www.scarleteen.com/read/feelings/youre-not-pregnant-why-do-you-think-you-are it says that there's absolutely no risk of pregnancy with manual sex even if there's definitely pre ejaculate fluids on someone's hand but I've been reading or hearing that that is still possible...

Thank you!

I just had my first therapy session today, It will take some effort and patience but some underlying issues have already been addressed and I'm trying to stay positive

Thank you so much for your patience, even though I'm well informed on how conception works I still suffer from severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Since you're telling me that this didn't pose any risk of pregnancy and there are no exceptions (I suppose) I'll try to be more calm, If you have any ...

So, I was giving oral to my boyfriend and I was also touching his penis with my hands. He then finished in my mouth and there wasn't any visible semen on my hands. I then washed my hands with water and soap and then touched my vagina. This is a ZERO chance of pregnancy scenario right?! (I'm aware it...
