hi, im an 18 year old virgin and the other day my boyfriend and i were messing around. he had already completed and wasnt very hard and was dry, but it came in contact with me. he didnt enter or anything, and im sure he was dry, but ive been thinking about it too much and am freaking out. what are the chances i could be pregnant? and how soon would a test work?

thanks so much...

It's very unlikely by the sounds of it.

Any time semen or the slippery pre-cum fluid from his penis comes into contact with your vagina there is a small but significant chance that sperm can be transferred and you can become pregnant. In practice, that means don't put his penis anywhere near your vagina when you're playing around, especially don't let him touch or rub against you, and watch what those sticky fingers are doing afterwards.

It's best that you see a Doctor or Family Planning group. While you are there you should discuss contraception - and get yourself on a reliable method so that you don't have to worry about this problem again.

I think you're probably OK. Although sex educators warn against getting semen near the opening of the vagina, this is a precaution; the odds of getting this way are very very small. Rare as in it has been recorded a few times in history, but if you were trying to get pregnant this is not a method you would choose. Good luck.
