Posted on February 16, 2010June 18, 2010 by Jessica

You can not get pregnant by dry humping through clothes.

–

In order for sperm to get anywhere they need moisture and really quite a bit of it. So, is it conceivable that a sperm could make it through four layers of cloth, the folds of the vulva, the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tube to fertilize an egg (presuming there is an egg there to be fertilized)? No.

Two layers of cloth? No.

One layer soaked through because y’all have been having a grand time? Possibly. But it’s extremely unlikely.

What you’re also not going to have happen with clothes-on humping is you’re not going to transmit any of the STI’s that can go from skin to skin. Check out the rest of the site and The Talk for more information on the kinds of STI’s and how they can be transmitted.

Be well, and have fun!

In answer to the question: can you get pregnant if you dry hump your partner and have layers of clothing in between the genitals?


Dry humping (also: frottage) is hot, sexy, super safe fun!

    one night i was foolin around with my boyfriend and we ended up clothes burning then he pulled his penis out and he did not go in but my legs were wide open and im afraid it may have dripped in my hole, he also rubbed his penis on my clitoris and i also thought maybe the fluids from the both of us got down to my hole and possibly gotten me pregnant….HELP!!

    It’s highly unlikely, but if you’re this nervous about pregnancy perhaps you shouldn’t be fooling around so intensely with him. You shouldn’t do things that make you uncomfortable.

    My boyfriend and I were dry humping then he took out his penis and took off my pants and he started to “jack off” with my ass cheeks. He never finished and I was wearing a tampon (which I doubt matters) and I’m taking a birth control, could I possibly get pregnant from this?

  4. Elizabeth says:
    May 8, 2010 at 10:55 am

    If I understand this correctly, you’re on birth control pills and your boyfriend never penetrated your vagina? No. You’re not going to get pregnant from that. You might be at risk of STDs that are spread by skin to skin contact, but not pregnancy.

    Can you get pregnant if there is a fair amount of pre cum on his belly and then he puts on a spemicide condom and you have sex but the pre cum gets on your clitoris?

    my boyfriend and i were dry humping with clothes on. he had his jean while i was on skirt, a tight and pant. Then, he ejaculated on his jean and it soaked on my skirt. i got up and went to the bathroom. i noticed my pant was wet, guess it was my own discharge. could i possibly get pregnant? i went for a blood pregnancy test after 9 days and it was negative is the test accurate? am due for my period and i haven’t seen it. HELP!

    could you get pregnant if you werent wearing underwear, but the guy was, and you are sitting on his lap and you are a wet down there?

  9. Elizabeth says:
    June 10, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    The sperm would have to be able to get through his underwear and then climb up into you. It’s highly, highly improbable.

  10. Elizabeth says:
    June 10, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    You’re not pregnant because of what you described. Your period is probably late from stress.

  11. Elizabeth says:
    June 10, 2010 at 3:57 pm

    You can not get pregnant from pre-cum on your clitoris. You need to get semen inside your vagina to get pregnant. That having been said, he should consider putting on the condom earlier in your activities.

  12. Elizabeth says:
    June 10, 2010 at 3:58 pm

    No.

  13. kat says:
    June 10, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    so what would you say the chances are that someone could get pregnant in the situation i described?

    me and a guy panty burned he had on shorts and i had on jeans…….my period is late am i pregnet

  15. Elizabeth says:

    You can not get pregnant by setting your pants on fire. I can’t even imagine how that would work… trailing smoke inseminating you with a ghost child? If what you mean is that you rubbed up against each other wearing pants… you’re not likely to get pregnant by that either. The sperm would have to get through multiple layers of clothing and end up inside you. Your period is probably late for another reason – like stressing about pregnancy.

    can I get pregnant if my boyfriend was fingering me and I had precum on my finger but I wiped it off on my shirt and then I rubbed my clitoris?

  17. Elizabeth says:
    June 22, 2010 at 5:00 am

    Rubbing precum on your clitoris will not get you pregnant. Not only does precum usually have very little, if any, sperm, but the sperm have to get inside you to make you pregnant. Even if your boyfriend then rubbed his finger in the same place and put it inside of you, the odds that any living sperm remained and such a tiny amount of material could get you pregnant are astronomically low.

    June 23, 2010 at 12:25 pm

    :/ i was giving my bf a hand job and he started to rub my clit, i got pre-cum on my hand but i wiped it on his top every time i did. I may have touched his hand after touching his penis then he put his finger inside me. Could there be a change of me getting pregnant from this.

  19. ashley says:
    June 23, 2010 at 10:17 pm

    thankyou. Dry/ wiped off precum; the sperm would have been dead anyways right? I heard dry/ wiped off sperm is dead.

  20. Elizabeth says:
    June 24, 2010 at 10:35 am

    If your finger/whatever is dry, then yes there is no live sperm on it. Sperm don’t like being dried out.

  21. ashley says:
    June 24, 2010 at 10:18 pm

    so you’re sure I cannot get pregnant from having wiped off precum on my clitoris? I don’t know if there was any on it to begin anyways (on my finger) but if there was I would have wiped it aaall off. my period is about 6 days late, but I’m very young and still irregular. do I have anything to worry about?

  22. Elizabeth says:
    June 24, 2010 at 10:26 pm

    You can not get pregnant from having precum outside of your body. You are probably late because you’re stressing out. At this point you can use a early pregnancy test to make yourself feel better. It’s late enough that one should work.

  23. ashley says:
    June 24, 2010 at 10:36 pm

    okay thankyou. I cannot take a pregnancy test though because I’m only fifteen. should my period come soon if I stop stressing out?

    Can washed off pre ejaculate or wiped off pre ejaculate on the finger rubbed on the clitoris cause pregnancy?

  26. reych says:
    July 4, 2010 at 12:29 am

    My boyfriend visited me and we started fooling around. He took my top and my bra off and he took his shirt off but we didnt take my shorts and his pants off. We’re both wearing an underwear too and I was wearing a sanitary napkin. We humped with all the bottoms on but his pants got wet although my shorts didnt, can I possibly get pregnant?

  27. Elizabeth says:
    July 4, 2010 at 8:48 am

    From that? No.

  28. Elizabeth says:
    July 4, 2010 at 8:49 am

    No. Semen has to get into the vagina for it to have a chance of getting you pregnant.

  29. reych says:
    July 6, 2010 at 5:08 am

    Thanks Elizabeth

  30. mara says:

    i have same situations as reych and im still worried.

  31. Jessica says:
    July 11, 2010 at 6:43 pm

    If you wipe semen off of your hand and your hand is completely dry, is the sperm dead?

  32. Elizabeth says:
    July 11, 2010 at 7:56 pm

    Semen has to get inside you for you to get pregnant. There’s no way for it to do so in the situation she described. You should be fine.

  33. Elizabeth says:
    July 11, 2010 at 7:56 pm

    If your hand is completely dry, there is no living semen on it.

  34. Jessica says:
    July 11, 2010 at 8:19 pm

    can sperm only live in semen outside the body?
    and what happens if a boy urinates before we fooled around and i got his pre ejaculate on my finger and wiped it off then touched my clit with the finger? pregnant?

  35. Jessica says:
    July 18, 2010 at 10:17 pm

    ?

  36. John says:
    July 23, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    Can sperm cells pass through multiple thin layers of clothes? For example: Me wearing boxers and her wearing thin tracksuit bottoms and underwear?

    I know it cant pass through thick fabric such as denim, but no one on the internet has really specified with THIN fabric.

    Thanks

    hi, me and my boyfriend were fooling around and he touched his penis and it had pre cum on it, and he started touching my area a while after that but I still had my underwear on. so I think it wouldve been dry if it was a while after, right? I’m due for my period in the next week or so, but I’m still worried, could I be pregnant? please help!!

  38. Dave says:
    August 3, 2010 at 11:24 am

    My penis just touched outside of her vagina, but not her hole. I’m almost positive I didn’t have any precum on my penis, but not completely positive. If I urinated earlier and my penis touched the outside of her vagina and then 3 minutes later she washed it off in the bathroom, is she likely to get pregnant?

  39. Kendra says:
    August 6, 2010 at 8:58 pm

    Elizabeth i know you answered about thousand of the same questions but its really getting to me =/.
    Im still a virgin and 2 nights ago me and my boyfriend got carried away in the moment and we began to take our clothes off. I didn’t let him finger me or touch it in the first place but he did however rub his penis on my clit. Im so scared precum slipped down there. Is it possible that im pregnant?

  40. Lizzie says:
    August 8, 2010 at 9:19 pm

    Okay this will sound dumb but I’m so worried about it so please answer soon! Okay I’m worried that I could get pregnant if my brother ejaculates in his bed and then my dog goes and sits on his bed and then I pet my dog or pick my dog up and then I’ll have sperm on my hands. Then what if I went to the bathroom or accidentally touched myself you-know-where could I get pregnant from that?

    Also could you get pregnant if someone had ejaculated in the shower and then you sat down in the shower?

    Also does sperm ever die?

    How long does i take for sperm to die?
    Please answer soon!!!! I’m not even sexually active, but I’m so worried that I could get pregnant from some random thing!!!! : (

    You inspired a post here. Also? The odds of you getting pregnant from anything other than having sex are so low that they’re not even worth thinking about.

    Hi, I wanna ask if I can get pregnant by ejaculating on her underwear. I know that, as stated above, it is unlikely but is it unlikely enough for me not to consider plan B? I didn’t press my genital at her vulva but ejaculate from about a few inches away on the top area and the right side near the inner thigh.

    By the way does it make a difference if the panties is already wet with vaginal fluid?

  44. Mari(: says:
    August 18, 2010 at 11:57 pm

    Okay so me and my boyfriend we were messing around and I gave him a handjob and he had precum, after like 30mins to an hour I went to the restroom to pee and touched the outer/inner part of my vagina lip but then I had realized I had forgot to wash my hands. That was on July 24 2010. Now it’s august 18 2010 and I got what I thought was my period but was only light bleeding for like 5 days. Could I possibly be pregnant?

    so my boyfriend and i kind of got carried away the other day and i gave him a hand job and he finished.then he wiped it off and his hands off with a towel and than a min later he rubbed my clit. my period is irregular in general but im worried that stress and stuff is delaying it even more. could i be pregnant? 🙁

  46. ellie says:
    August 22, 2010 at 2:36 am

    my bf and i had oral sex. The thng is, i touch his wet underwear soaked with semen with my fingers and then wiped it off with my shirt. Then i accidently fingered my vagina, could i be pregnant? Another thing, if i wash my hands with water to get rid off semen, would there still be sperms on it.? P/s: my period is delayed a week now.

This is a humor site, and, although it is educational, it is not intended to replace the advice of a medical professional. Remember, sex has risks. One such risk is pregnancy, another is becoming infected with a sexually transmitted disease. You should thoroughly educate yourself about the possible consequences of having sex before you go out and jump anyone. Remember, no form of contraception is completely foolproof. The only way to be absolutely certain you will not get pregnant is to abstain from vaginal sex... and artificial insemination... and in vitro fertilization... and you get the drift!

I Am Not A Pregnancy Test

Therefore, I will no longer be answering personal "am I pregnant?" questions on this site.

If you post your questions, I may still use them as a resource for posts, but this was always intended as a humor and educational site and not an advice site, so I will no longer be offering personal reassurance.

That having been said, one last piece of advice: If you think you might be pregnant, the best way to find out is to wait until you miss your period and take a pregnancy test.

Alternatively, if you've had vaginal intercourse without contraception in the past 72 hours, you can explore emergency contraception to try and interrupt the possibility of pregnancy. However, if you haven't had vaginal intercourse, you are unlikely to be pregnant. It's not completely impossible, but it's extremely unlikely.

Before you start having sex, or thinking about having sex, I highly recommend reading a copy of "our bodies, ourselves" or a similar book about your body so that you understand how sex and pregnancy work, and all the possible risks. If you don't know how sex can affect your body, you shouldn't be fooling around with it. Tell your boyfriends and your mothers that too
