Here is a list right here on the site of what activities do and do not present STI or pregnancy risks, and when they do, what level of risk: Can I Get Pregnant, or Get or Pass On an STI From That?

You'll look up the listing on that page for manual sex ("fingering" or "handjobs") if that contact happened with his hands *under* your underwear. If it happened *over* any of your clothing, then you'll instead look under petting or massage.

thank you heather

it was through the clothing so no contact to the skin... that means there is no risk of pregnancy correct... sorry just developed a little anxiety from this

Hi Dancer4life,

Yep, you read that right :) . If you're finding that engaging in this kind of activity is making you anxious, that's generally a sign that you need to scale back what you and your partner are doing to a level where you feel comfortable. If you'd like, I can give you some information on how to have those conversations

hi, quick question... i had a little discharge 4 days later after this happened, it was brown in colour and 2 days later i got my period. I was due my period mid december but never got it as i am quite irregular. But was just wondering did fingering bring on my period even though it was through my clothes, and this is not indication that I'm pregnant? right?

thank you

When you know you haven't done anything that puts you at risk of pregnancy, then you can be sure that whatever kind of bleeding you're noticing, it isn't related to pregnancy. If you're still worried, you can take a pregnancy test.
