I know there is such a thing as pre ejaculation... We didn't have sex but we were close. I'm not sure on how this works being that I am a virgin and new to all of this but I'm late on my period and idk if it's because of this. He never went inside but his genitals were rubbing against mine for quite some time
Can I get pregnant if he didn't go inside?

There is a small risk of pregnancy, but it’s not as high as ejaculation in the vagina. Before ejaculation, all penises can leak fluid called pre-ejaculate. Pre-ejaculate does not contain sperm but it may pick up sperm from a previous ejaculation as it passes through the urethra. This could cause pregnancy. If you are concerned about unintended pregnancy you may want to consider taking emergency contraception (EC) also called the morning after pill. EC is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex. It is effective if started within 120 hours (five days). If started within 72 hours, EC can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent. In the U.S. the emergency contraceptive pill can be obtained over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription, identification or age restriction. Plan B One Step and Next Choice One Dose are examples of EC. Quick links to helpful articles: Missed taking your birth control pill? Here's what to do next... Should I take the morning after pill?

When he becomes excited & erect his penis starts to leak a small amount of clear fluid called pre-cum, pre-ejaculation fluid. In some men, this can contain sperm, (a recent study by Human Fertility showed it can be there despite urinating before sex, too) & if this comes into contact with your cervical mucus (the lubrication that comes out of your vagina), then the sperm can swim up your cervical mucus & cause pregnancy. So, yes, technically it's possible, but much harder to conceive like that than with vaginal, penetrative, sexual intercourse.

Sorry, I did not realise that this was an old thread that someone has reactivated.

Hiii , I did the exact same thing me and my partner and I'm really freaking out about the possibility that I might get pregnant, so I'm just wondering if you actually did get pregnant after just rubbing and the fluids were exchanged ? I'll help me so much if you'd answer.

Anything is possible, but the probability of you becoming another virgin Mary is highly unlikely. What I do agree on with everyone else is you need to get some form of birth control and start using it.

He needs to release the baby makers inside u for u to conceive. But ur right it does not take much. Relax and refrain from such play until u find a contraceptive that covers u from getting pregnant and any sti/std. Good luck

My advise is get on the bc pill now, before you do something, because you are so close. Sperm as to enter you to get you pregnant.

Birth control is a pill you take every day at the same time as a contraceptive. It can also be used to regulate/control your period and how often it happens. Birth control can definitely affect your hormones.
I was on it for over a year and eventually it screwed with my hormones so I stopped using it, but it doesn’t affect everyone negatively.

You said "He never went inside but his genitals were rubbing against mine for quite some time." If he rubs the opening or the very recent discharge from his penis against the opening of your vagina during this period of genitals rubbing for quite some time, he's possibly delivered a sperm to your vaginal opening that may be capable of making it's way up your vagina and through your cervix, into your uterus to an egg and fertilizing it, thus creating a new life. It's highly unlikely, but possible because you said this happened for "quite some time". If you don't want to risk creating a new life or getting a sexually transmitted disease, don't do this.

Although no penetration occurred and he didn't cum anywhere near me the pre ejaculation could still get me pregnant? I understand that there was a possible exchange of body fluids and he was near the openings of my vagina but is it really that possible or it very rare?

It's theoretically possible but very rare. I agree with the recommendation to get on birth control and don't engage in this foreplay until the bc has had the time to be effective.

The seminal fluid that emerges from his penis before ejaculation can have live sperm in it. From the time a male is aroused, this fluid can leak from him. When a female is aroused, she has vaginal fluid that is present inside her vagina that eases the friction from the sex act and helps the sperm make it's way up to the cervix.

There is no possibility for preg. His sperm must to go inside you to get preg.

That's what I figured but I keep hearing stuff about exchange of fluids which I'm sure happened since it was rubbing against mind the whole time. Is it possible that bc of that sperm could get inside. He never came near me but pre ejaculation definitely occurred while the act of "dry humping"

Pregnancy is possible but not very probable. Try to avoid this kind of foreplay.
