Confused about pregnancy risks?

Unread post by wildprincess »

Recently my boyfriend and I engaged in some dry sex and while I am not extremely worried about getting pregnant, I am a little confused.

My pants came off as he started giving me oral after a few minutes and after I finished, he came too. I'm not sure if the cum landed on the inside of my underwear but it got me thinking. If a few spots of cum got the inside of underwear and I rewore it, is pregnancy possible? I am aware sperm cannot swim through clothing but as this is inside the clothing and touching my vulva, does it pose a risk? Just a little confused here and want some clarity that's all!

Thank you!

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
