Get pregnant from fingering

[nrai]

So today i was hanging out with my boyfriend and i gave him a blowjob and he touched his area but than we stopped because he wanted to eat me out so he got up and grabbed a towel to wipe down the windows and this was with the same exact hand he touched his private area with. With the same hand he started to play with my area but he didn’t start fingering me because he realized it was the same and proceeded to wipe it on his clothes, but i forgot that i also gave him a hand job and i also started to finger myself because he asked but i gave him a handjob 30 minutes before i did it to myself. is there any chance i could possible get pregnant for this? i know it might be unlikely but im very paranoid and we agreed to not do this anymore since i get paranoid easily. please let me know, should i by any chance take a plan B pill?

Hi Nrai, welcome to the boards!

Don’t worry, the situation you’ve described can’t cause pregnancy. Sperm cells are quite delicate all considered. They can’t survive for that long outside their ideal environment, nor can they survive being transferred between multiple surfaces. You don’t need to take plan B.

If pregnancy risk really worries you, I think it is a good decision to take a break from these activities. If I may ask, where do you think your fears are coming from?

In my experience, having a strong understanding of how pregnancy works, and having plans in place to reduce the chance of it happening, can go a long way towards reducing such fears. We have a ton of resources on the site about these topics. If you’re open to reading some, we can provide recommendations.

I think since i’ve always been aware of how pregnancy works and how easily it is to be pregnant it developed a fear of even having any type of sexual intercourse which is why i’ve decided to wait till i’m an adult to even attempt losing my virginity. Thank you for your response it did help calm my nerves

Hi Nrai, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better! It's a great idea to pause any sexual activity that makes you feel anxious.

I'm going to link you to one of our articles about pregnancy anxiety, You're Not Pregnant. Why Do You Think You Are? It sounds like the part that's most applicable to you is the section called "You are engaging in sex you really don’t feel ready for, or when you just don’t have what you need yet in order to feel okay about it." There's some advice there that supports your decision to wait before trying these sorts of activities again.

One last thing — while it can be easy to get pregnant in certain circumstances, there are a lot of circumstances in which it's not at all easy to get pregnant, and if you're not having unprotected PIV sex, it's not easy. I'm not saying that to dissuade you from taking a break from things like manual sex, though, I just wanted to say it in case other users are reading this!
