Hey guys, I know you probably think this isn't a big deal, but in my culture it is seriously bad, and if it were true (which I'm hoping it isn't!) I would probably be kicked out of my home etc. Okay, so my boyfriend and I were dry humping, he had his pants on (cargo denimy pants) and I had my tights and undies on, so we were both dressed etc.. but his pants were abit moist, and so were mine (because we were turned on etc) is there a chance I could be pregnant? I am still a virgin btw.. and I'm extremely nervous I did some reading up and everyone says its pretty much unlikely, but I am feeling beyond anxious

I agree with sissy Kay' date=' it would be as good as an immaculate conception to get pregnant dry humping with clothes on. I don't know how old you are, based on your "name" your may be in your twenties. Regardless, you need some serious sex education ASAP or you will be pregnant. Is there anyone you can talk to?[/quote']

Well said! I totally agree...sex education is needed ASAP!!!

Just to reiterate' date=' sperm die within minutes of being exposed to air ie. outside the penis and outside the vagina. It is highly highly unlikely a pregnancy will occur through this method.[/quote']

Actually that is not true. Sperm can live outside of the body for 20 minutes to an hour, possibly longer if the sperm is in semen (think for invitro for example). Penetration is not necessary for pregnancy to occur, though there is low chance of pregnancy if ejaculation occurs outside of the vagina.

Ejaculation is not necessary for pregnancy to occur. Sperm can be released throughout the duration of "activity". That being said, the chance of getting pregnant through 4 layers of clothes is highly unlikely. Just be careful and safe!!

I agree with your 20 minute time line if the sperm is in a moist, alkaline (semen) environment that is in one blop in a cup or section of the body, since I personally have lived invitro I understand the necessity of "fresh" sperm if you know what I mean. If the semen is exposed to air and the semen is dried to the skin the sperm are dead. Look at sperm FAQ' on webMD which is a recognized provider of medical information. You can also learn about sex and it's functions for the original poster. I do hope you set yourself up for an appointment at a local family planning clinic. They can talk to you about abstinence, various types of birth control, risks of STD's, ect etc.
