Is pregnancy possible if he masturbates before putting on a condom?
This might sound like a dumb question but I had terrible paranoia about pregnancy every time I have sex. (I lost my virginity only a few weeks ago.) My boyfriend and I had sex about two days ago and he was playing with his penis for a little before asking if I wanted to do penetration--he tried washing his hands with a water bottle (he didn't go out to the bathroom since there would be people out there) before putting the condom on, and he says there was no precum, but I'm worried sperm could still get on the outside of the condom, especially since we used so much lube? I know it's not likely but is it at all possible this way? He also pulled out before he could ejaculate because we wanted to make sure even though he had a condom on.

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.
Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.
We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
* * *
You mentioned that despite feeling terribly paranoid about sex, you continue to engage in it. If you'd like to talk about how to make sexual choices that are a better fit for what you can handle -- and that improve your life, rather than adding a ton of stress -- feel free to make a new thread for that. We'd be glad to help you with that.
