Answer:

It is possible that a female can get pregnant without ejaculation in the vagina but it is not very likely. The way pregnancy occurs is the sperm which is in your whitish fluid called semen must get into the vagina in order to swim and reach the egg in the woman's Fallopian tubes. Sperm is actually very fragile so if it isn't deposited into the vagina it usually dies. There are a few cases of pregnancy that occur when the ejaculation occurs right at the opening of the vagina or when a man has semen on his fingers and puts it into the vagina. Other than that, there isn't a chance. Sperm cannot swim through clothes, through bath water or anything else. It dies too quickly. Hopefully that answers your question! Thanks for writing.
