Question
Me and my girlfriend have been having dry sex (basically having sexual interaction with cloths on), and she heard that it is possible to get pregnant from this, is this possible? If anything were to happen, what are the chances of her getting pregnant? Does it happen around her period? Sorry I'm just not that informed. Thank you.
Mr. Worried
Hi Mr. Worried,
If you ejaculate and if the semen gets through her clothing and makes its way to her vagina, there's a small but theoretical risk of pregnancy. The most likely time for this to happen is around 2 weeks before she expects her period, although some women are fertile at other times of their menstrual cycle.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Roseff
