Question:
About a month ago, a few days after I my period was over, my boyfriend and i who both would like to stay virgins enjoyed other sexually pleasures being both naked. His penis didnt go in but I didnt notice a bit of pre-cum. I know for a fact that he doesnt masterbate. Im late, Is there any reason for concern or am i just being paranoid? Thanks.

Hello there. When you say you both enjoyed sexual pleasures naked, what specifically were you doing? It is certainly fine to stay virgins, and taking your time to get to know one another sexually without having intercourse is the best way to NOT become pregnant. Pre-cum or pre-ejaculate does contain sperm, enough sperm to impregnate a woman if it has entry into the vagina. Did he have his penis between your legs? If so, there could be a chance of pregnancy, although it is also normal for stress to cause your period to be late as well. Is your period usually regular? If so, you can purchase a home pregnancy test at a pharmacy for around ten dollars, they are very accurate and can be done in the privacy of your own bathroom. At least this way, you could reduce your worry by finding out early. Just remember that once the penis becomes erect, it almost always produces pre-cum (the wet area) at the tip. The fluid needs to have entry into the vagina and unless there is direct contact with the vaginal opening, pregnancy is highly unlikely. Take care and good luck.
