I apologize if this comes out as completely incoherent, but I can't get this out of my head and I'd like to do something about it.

So the other night my girlfriend and I were fooling around and we began touching each other down there, me fingering her and her giving me a handjob. I didn't come close to ejaculating, but I've been worrying about something. I'm worried that some pre-ejaculatory fluid may have come out before or during the handjob, and that if any did come out it could have gotten on her hand and exchanged to mine inbetween fingering her. The reason I say if is because I never felt anything come out, and she never mentioned anything getting on her hands. I still worry, however, because I'm a teenager and pregnancy scares the shit out of me, and there's always a chance that pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm. I just wanna know if I should be concerned or not. Once again, this is probably a long shot, but I'd just like to be sure. Thanks in advance.

    Have you won the lottery, twice, while riding an elephant through a thunderstorm in Times Square recently? Because the probability of that happening is still far, far greater than the probability if the actions you describe resulting in your girlfriend becoming pregnant. Don't worry about it.

    even if in the slim chance something did come out... And it got on your hand... And you fingered her with the fluid on your hand... And that minuscule drop of sperm survived the trip from her hand to your hand to her vagina. AND THEN managed to swim all the way to an egg... AND THEN be the one sperm in a million that actually got through the egg.

    Then yeah you might have something to worry about... But even if all that did happen there isnt anything you can do about it. At least not in the right now tonight. If you are OMG WORRIED about it tomorrow have her take the morning after pill from a planned parent hood.

    Odds are pretty darn good its no big deal just be more careful next time. Unless she is super fertile and your sperm are super potent one drop of precum most likely isnt going to cause pregnancy. It can. But you can win the lottery too.

    Uh, I don't know much about the morning after pill, but I don't think it's exactly super pleasant to take (nausea, etc) and it seems like extreme overkill if there was no penetrative sex OR semen involved at all. It's incredibly unlikely that she's pregnant, don't stress about it.

    depends on the person, dosage, type.

    some people dont have any side effects at all. Talk to a doctor.

    and while I agree it is something I wouldnt worry about, I wasnt there and it wasnt my wang or my hand so I dont know how it went down. But anytime I am worried I prefer a trip to the doc for a one dose of meds versus preggers every day of the week and twice on sunday.

    We've had a similar thread a few months or so ago when someone asked if a cum-encrusted object / hand covered in cum could conceivably impregnate their girlfriend. The answer to that, as to yours, is that if it were to happen then the conception should be considered immaculate because it's so god damn unlikely.

    Sperm are incredibly fragile things. They die in any temperature that is more or less 5 degrees from body temperature in a matter of seconds. Then, assuming that the sperm have the ability to transverse the entire length of the vagina, past the cervix, up the fallopian tube to the egg?

    Yeah, dude, you're fine.

    You prefer a dose of meds? You and your wang? Either you're a guy with poor phrasing, which means you don't get to decide what your girlfriend puts in her mouth, or you're a girl who should be on the proper pill instead of relying on a method that is highly likely to be less consistently effective over time, costs more in terms of both time and money, and can be difficult to maintain consistent access to. Don't give advice like this. This is bad advice.

    Some people dont agree with morning after pills. Just because you Don't like the option doesn't mean it is bad advice. Having an unwanted pregnancy is bad advice as well. And speaking as someone who has taken multiple people to get it done I can say it is not the end of the world.
    And obviously you cant force someone to do it. But that doesn't mean you cant present it as an option and talk about it. The second time I had to go was when a condom broke and We couldn't even get it all out. There was obviously A lot of sperm inside my girl friend. She was freaking the hell out. When I offered to take her to get it she was nervous, but when I explained how it went down she relaxed and hey we dont have kids now.

    And if you had bothered to read the entire post instead of just focusing on one part you would realize i also said to "GASP" talk to a doctor. Gee theres an idea. But apparently you prefer him blinding listening to the internet on weather or not his girl friend may or may not be pregnant. Because having a baby is not that big a deal. /sarcasm. Excuse me for thinking unwanted pregnancy is by far one of the worst outcomes that could come from this situation and presenting an option that would stop it a hell of a lot better than praying.

    You also might have missed my post where I pointed out it was also probably not that big of a deal to begin with.

    If you got this idea from the episode of Scrubs where he gets his gf pregnant without actually sleeping with her, I wouldnt worry too much, as thats not real life.

    It is possible though, people would be wrong if they told you otherwise, but the chances of her getting pregnant are like, so low that its really not worth worrying about unless her period is late.

    Also, if youre THIS worried about it, do you really think youre ready for sex? And shouldnt she be on the pill if you two are going down that route?

    I'm pretty sure The Cat wasn't saying Plan B was bad -- from what I've read, she's very aware of women's and sexual health issues. Rather, it's silly for you to rely on Plan B as often as it sounds like you have. If you have that many failed condoms, etc., or that many paranoid partners, perhaps you and your partners should look into different methods of birth control.

    Yes, taking the morning-after pill is less unpleasant than an unwanted pregnancy, but using more effective preventative measures (of which there are myriad options) is more pleasant than both!

    P.S. Plan B is only effective up to 72 hours, and that's on the very outside time range, so talking to a doctor is not often a good option in that particular situation

    Its a great option for emergencies. Taking it every time you have risky sex, as the very poor phrasing of your post suggests, is a very stupid thing to do, because eventually you're going to leave it too long and you will be shit out of luck, son.
    And if you had bothered to read the entire post instead of just focusing on one part you would realize i also said to "GASP" talk to a doctor. Gee theres an idea. But apparently you prefer him blinding listening to the internet on weather or not his girl friend may or may not be pregnant.
    Fuck off, I didn't say that. I said quite clearly in response to your barely literate ramblings that using the morning-after pill on a regualr basis was far inferior to getting on the pill properly. Also, the morning after pill contains the same set of hormones as the regular pill, so if you react badly to the day-to-day one you're not going to be well on the single-dose hammershot either, making your 'argument' that its better for people who don't react well to the pill completely incoherent. Stop Giving Bad Advice.
    Because having a baby is not that big a deal. /sarcasm. Excuse me for thinking unwanted pregnancy is by far one of the worst outcomes that could come from this situation and presenting an option that would stop it a hell of a lot better than praying.
    Again, go fuck yourself. I gave you advice about using a method far more likely to prevent pregnancy, which is far cheaper and far easier to obtain. Oh, and for people who don't react well to the standard formulations, there's a bunch of other ones for them to try! If you paid a blind bit of attention you'd know I was one of the most rabidly pro-choice people on this forum, so you can go right to hell for letting your inability to read a sentence lead you to assume I'm some kind of fundie for giving you the same fucking advice you'd find on the planned parenthood website.

    You know. If you could read it. Stop Giving Bad Advice.

    I know we aren't ready for sex. I just wasn't taking into account the possibility of pre-ejaculate coming out, which is why I started to panic and ask myself "what if", because after all, I'm a teenager, and getting a girl pregnant isn't in my best interests.

    Seriously, even if you 'know' you aren't ready for sex, if this scared you use it as a nudge to make sure you have protection around, and see how she feels about going on the pill or shot etc. I did the shot for five years, I did alright on it, she'll want to take time to research what sounds good to her.

    Sex between teenagers who are already experimenting with each other like you two, well, it's just good practice to be prepared, I think.

    As for Plan B, the Cat is so correct, it's emergency for a reason. It's pretty harsh on the body, I actually had to grab a dosage for myself last week for the first time ever, had my first accident with the boyfriend and we drove right away to the CVS down the road, and I endured the uncomfortable standing in line and paid the $50 for the dose of Plan B. Had it done within the hour of the accident, put the mind at ease.


    But man, for two days I had some horrible stomach cramps crop up, and I felt a little sick a few times. Nothing serious, but not what I'd like to repeat.

    Wasn't there some study recently that showed precum by itself doesn't actually have any sperm in it? Rather, it can act as a carrier for any sperm that got left behind in a recent previous ejaculation.

    I might just be making this up, I can't remember.

    way unlikely unless you have super sperm. Even if you were to ejaculate inside of her, there are a lot of mechanisms in the woman's body to make sure that your sperm are fucked

    Yeah, she's told me that she would like to be on the pill if we have sex. I don't know what other options she has considered though.

    I think, more to the point, it's less about what she's considering and more about what you should be considering. Go buy some condoms, even if you think you're far from that point, you never know. And you won't need to worry if you have them. Definitely don't wait or assume for her to be prepared, but communicate about this as well (!!).
