Question:
my girlfriend took my penis and rubbed against her glans, prepuce, and labia minora area for about 1 minute. I was afraid if that might cause pregnancy because we had sex an hour or two before(with a spemicidal condom) ; however, my semems have already dried up and i did wash my penis with a little bit of water and soap before having contact with those area without a condom (during ovalation period). i don't know if that is possible to cause pregancy(without having contact with her vigina opening).

Thank you for your question. I can't predict for sure whether there is a high risk for pregnancy in this situation. The only thing that makes it risky is that you mentioned that your girlfriend was ovulating at the time. Since she is aware of her ovulation period that is a time to be extra careful in your sex play.

In this case though, having used a latex condom during intercourse, and this being an hour later, the likelihood is slim that there was any sperm that could be available to move into the reproductive track.

You said that the semen was dried, you had washed with water and soap, and the only contact was the penis against the glans, prepuce and labia. You didn't mention that there was any new pre-cum (which isn't likely to contain much sperm) so just the rubbing itself is not going to be too risky.

I do suggest that if you are in that situation again you can be even more safe by putting another condom on just for the rubbing. That way you will be more certain and not have to feel the worry you feel now.

Thank you again for your excellent question.
