Hello - thanks for writing in with your question. Yes, you can get pregnant if he ejaculates (comes, cums) on the outside of your vagina (vulva). Sometimes when people are having sex this way (outercourse, rather than intercourse), they think that they cannot get pregnant this way. However, it is possible. If the sperm are very strong swimmers, if the genital area is wet enough, and if the sperm are able to make it up into the vagina, it is certainly possible to get pregnant in this manner. However, it is less likely to get pregnant this way than if he is ejaculting inside of your vagina. I am glad that you have found ways to have sexual pleasure, but why not just use condoms? Your boyfriend can use a condom on his penis and you can use a contraceptive sponge or gel inside inside your vagina. By using both of these methods, you will have a double layer of protection against an unwanted pregnancy. These products are available at most grocery or drug stores. It is better to take precautions against an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection before they happen rather than after. Then, when you know you are protected, you can just relax and enjoy the sexual experience. Take care of yourself and feel free to write back if you have any further questions. Thanks, Patty Fawver
