Question:
I am 18 and i have been with my girlfriend for two years. We are both still virgins but we do engage in sexual activity often. Recently we were making out and doing some vigorous dry humping. She only had on her underwear but i had on both underewar and shorts. I ejaculated and when I stood up my shorts were wet an i wanted to now what the chances are that my girlfriend is pregnent? She and I are both really worried. This has happend before but this time we are really worried!

Since underwear fabrics are not an effective barrier method against pregnancy, there is always the slight chance that a pregnancy could take place. Such a pregnancy, however, does only happen once in a blue moon, if that helps to ease your anxiety. To avoid such scares in the future, despite the fact that you and your partner are dryhumping instead of engaging in sexual intercourse, you may want to use a latex or polyurethane condom to ensure that the semen does not end up all over her panties. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network. Yvonne K. Fulbright, MS.Ed.
