Can semen pass through the gap...please help me

Unread post by Iamie_28 »

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my concerns
My boyfriend and I didn't have sex directly, but I used my hands and his precum stuck to my inner thighs, very close to my vagina. At that time, I was wearing shorts, underwear, and sanitary napkins, but I worried that fluid could get through the gap between my skin and underwear and make me pregnant. He also had semen on his hand (just washed it briefly) then rubbed it on my underwear. Are there any risks to getting pregnant?

Hi there, Lamie_28!

As Sam discussed in your last thread, there is really no way for sperm to pass though multiple layers of clothing like this, even through the gap. Also, precum doesn't usually contain sperm, so that reduces the chances further. All in all, there is no risk of pregnancy in this situation.

Were you able to read the articles that Sam suggested? It sounds stressful to worry like this — reading those articles might help you feel less afraid next time.

Thank you for your reply. I've read all of Sam's useful articles, I'm just worried because the situation this time is a bit different, that the sperm doesn't go through the pants but goes straight in through the gap, I'm also on my period when I do it.
