There is no dumb question! :)

To help you out a little, "the pill" in general is 98-99% effective when used perfectly (taken at about the same time every day, you don`t vomit within 2 hours of taking a pill, etc.) so it`s pretty good protection against pregnancy. It`s very unlikely that you`ll get pregnant, even if he does go all the way. Even so, I don`t mean to scare you, but there`s always a chance of pregnancy, in this case 1-2% percent which means that out of 1000 women every year that take the pill perfectly, 10 to 20 women will still get pregnant. If these odds aren`t to your liking, you can always use an additional method like a condom. But I can tell you that there are millions of women all over the world that use the pill, go all the way with their partners, and don`t get pregnant.

Hope this helps you out some.
