Is this a pregnancy risk

Unread post by qwerty42 »

I was messing around with a girl. I might have touched the tip of my penis where there was pre-cum (can't remember). Then, I fingered her. Is there a possibility of pregnancy occurring in these circumstances? This thread says that it is "theoretically possible" http://sexetc.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=10706

Thanks but the text is kind of consugin, it says that there is no risk if you have" Had any contact with pre-ejaculate but NOT during intercourse or direct (where people are naked, without any clothing or undergarments) genital-to-genital contact" Is intercourse specifically when a penis is inserted or does it include fingers?

Intercourse is specifically when a penis is inserted in a vagina. When you are using fingers, that would be called fingering or manual sex.

Even though I know there's no risk, I'm still worried about pregnancy and I'm not sure why.

Okay. So, then the page in that you'll want to take a look at is this one, as the suggestions there are most relevant to your situation: http://www.scarleteen.com/the_pregnancy ... s_negative

If you need help taking any of the next steps suggested there (though obviously, most of them are for a person who could themselves become pregnant), feel free to post back, and we can talk about them with you.

Ultimately, though, we're not going to be able to figure out the why of your continued worries: that is going to be something you'll need to mostly do for yourself. That information is inside your head, which is much more accessible to you than it is to us. :)
