Can I get pregnant from dry sex?
It depends on exactly what you�re doing.
Most people define dry sex as kind of going through the motions of sex, without actually doing it � inserting penis in vagina. Usually, at least one partner is wearing clothes that cover the genitals. If that�s the case, you�re safe. Sperm can�t swim through clothes.
If you�re both in the buff, and your partner ejaculates, cums, near the opening to the vagina, then there�s a small chance that you could get pregnant.
The other danger of dry sex is that you can get carried away and end up having �wet sex,� without being prepared. You have to stick to your limits and make sure your partner understands and respects those limits. Otherwise, sex can �just happen� and that really increases your chances of becoming pregnant.
