Are there other ways to get pregnant besides having vaginal sex?
My boyfriend and I were messing around. Clothes were on. And I didn't know if possibly his sperm could go through clothes. What if he fingered me and had his sperm on his finger? Could I get pregnant then?
I know that abstinence is 100% safe way of not getting pregnant. But I'm just curious of other ways someone could get pregnant besides vaginal sex. Please and thanks :)
You can get pregnant in ways other than vaginal sex. Yes, it is less likely, but whenever sperm comes into direct contact with the vagina, the possibility is always there. [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]

and yes, you could get pregnant if the boy that was fingering you put sperm on his finger. I don't know why he would do that, but there's your answer.
So to recap: if there is nothing keeping his fluids from your fluids, you COULD get pregnant. It's highly unlikely, but entirely possible. and yes abstinence is 100% safe, but you're not abstaining, so that doesn't apply to you. Use a condom or a dental dam and you've got 99.8%, which is as safe as you're going to get unless you stop touching each other.
