Mod Message: you cannot get pregnant from dry humping

[namhoang217gv]

Hello my lovely subredditors!

There has been an influx of posts asking questions along the lines of:
- can I get pregnant from dry humping with X number of layers of clothing?
- can I get pregnant if one of us was wearing clothing and the other was naked and we humped?
- can I get pregnant if my partner finished on my stomach, waist, back, etc?
- can I get pregnant if he finished in his underwear while we humped?

The answer to all of these (and several more similar questions) is a resounding NO!!!!

Sperm is fragile. Sperm is lazy. It cannot travel through layers of clothing, through skin, or find its way across your body.

For pregnancy to happen, you need to have penetrative penis in vagina sex. There is technically a small chance if your partner finishes directly on your vaginal opening or if your partner shoved fresh globs of semen into your vagina, but that chance is super slim.

Other than that, you will NOT become pregnant.

As always, please please refer to the FAQs and pinned posts in this sub!

• remember, you do not have to do any sexual activity you don't feel comfortable with.

For our users who may be very stressed, r/anxiety and r/OCD are great resources.

@namhoang217gv Should make one for the influx of people asking if they can get pregnant from fingering with sperm and or fluids on their fingers!

 

[namhoang217gv]

@cattwohorse There is an automod that will show up if "fingering" or "fingers" are mentioned in a post +
that question is directly answered in the FAQs.

@cattwohorse Yea I don't understand how so many people keep asking that same question. No one ever posts about anyone getting pregnant from that. I've never heard people getting pregnant from spermy fingers. Also it normally takes several months of trying for people to get pregnant, in some occasions it does happen after one try but people need to remember that there has to be alot of sperm inserted because alot dont make it in the journey.

@namhoang217gv i don’t really understand why semen can ooze through clothing while sperm can’t?

 

[namhoang217gv]

@shellyeve Sperm is fragile and dumb and it cannot survive a journey through clothing and then magically navigate to a vagina and up it

 

[shellyeve]

@namhoang217gv what if the said clothing was directly on the vagina?

 

[namhoang217gv]

@shellyeve Can you find me a case study where someone has gotten pregnant from the situation you've described?
