Why Scarleteen staff is the best?

Unread post by salma2910 »

First of all, that's not a question, that's my experience with scarleteen.
About 8 days after my period was due, me and my boyfriend were engaged into manual sex. He ejaculated on his hands, washed them with water. About 45 minutes later he touched me. That day I wasn't worried at all, I knew that being pregnant was impossible that way.
After 2 days, I thought I could check some online information that can confirm my rational thoughts, but things didn't turn out to be so right.
Online forums do not present the real pregnancy risks, they are just a bunch of scared teenagers replying to each other and that's not the kind of information you'd like to know when you might have some emotional pregnancy doubts.
Doing some research around online forums, I started to get scared, then really scared and then I panicked, that's exactly when I found scarleteen.
I read all the articles concerned with pregnancy risks, I talked to Jacob twice through the online chat and he really helped me understand my emotions about this whole pregnancy thing.
Jacob said that manual sex represents a zero pregnancy risk. That was reassuring but I couldn't stop my irrational worries from developing, so I explained to him that I live in a very conservative country, where sexual acts are prohibited and being pregnant in such a community is scandal. He really helped me understand my fears and that they were only the consequence of my extreme suppression by my religion and my country.
Today is the 28th day of my cycle, I just got my period an hour ago and I would love to thank scarleteen for making me go through these three weeks with the minimum pregnancy scare, I might also consider contraceptives though I'm virgin.
