Question:
I was making out with my boyfriend pretty intensely but we both had our clothes on. He had on shorts (and underwear i am assuming) and i was wearing my underwear and shirt. I had my legs wrapped around his body and legs at different times, and i don't know if he come or not, so now i am worried on whether sperm got into me. i was also on my 3rd or 4th day into my period.

Does sperm go through your underwear? can it impregnant someone? when someone cum or pre-cum, is it obvious? will you know?

please help, i don't want to be pregnant by accident.

i am so worried, that i am thinking of never making out with anyone again.

additional questions:

1. if we were both just wearing our underwears (if he had not been wearing shorts), will making out (intense or not) be risky?

2. the making out i describe in my last email may have involve our gentials rubbing eachother (with his shorts and my undies on). was that dangerous too?

3. I have read in some other what i think were reliable websites that sperm can soak thru clothes and cotton underwear and that it is possible to get pregnant if you are making out or even doing it with clothes on. is this true or do they have bad information (ex. teenwire.com?)?

thank you so much once again. I am so glad there is someone out there to help girl like me out. Much thanks.

A girl can become pregnant only if the seminal fluid enters the vagina during the time she ovulates. The sperms swim through the uterus into the fallopian tubes to come in contact with the ovum. Also, it’s important that the ovum is receptive to the sperm so that fertilization can occur. In most women ovulation occurs on 12th or 13th day of the menstrual cycle. Hence, sexual activity on or around those days can result in pregnancy.

In practical terms, the chances of pregnancy in your case is zero. However, in nature, there are always exceptions to the rule and a single runaway sperm can result in pregnancy. Therefore, theoritically there is a very very remote chance of a girl becoming pregnant due to the sexual activity you describe.
