About Dry humping

Hi lovely people from scarleteen!

I have read your guys posts about dry humping and I have a little question: is Dry humping still pregnancy safe if only one of the parts is wearing underwear?

For an example: my boyfriend is rubbing his penis in my vagina, but I'm wearing panties. Is it still safe? Or like, he's rubbing in between my legs while I'm wearing my panties.

I still have a bit of concern about getting pregnant from pre cum touching my underwear, even though I know sperm can't swim through clothes.

It would be great if you guys could give me some reassurance!

Xoxo

Hi there, Mariaaamariaaan!

Yes, that is correct- dry humping does not pose a risk of pregnancy if one of you is wearing clothes.

Thank you for your answer!

Every time I do something slightly sexual, I get absolutely freaked out. I don't know how to deal with this horrible fear.

Thank you for helping me.

Hi mariaaamariaaan,

So, if you get anxious or scared every time you do something sexual, then one way of preventing that is to stop doing any of the sexual things you know cause you anxiety and sticking only to ones that you feel comfortable doing. Does that feel like something you and your partner can agree to do?

If you haven't already done so, I would also take a look at this article to see if any of the reasons described match with your experiences: You're Not Pregnant. Why Do You think You Are?
