Pregnancy

When you and a partner have no clothing on, and direct genital-to-genital contact, please understand that it isn’t dry sex anymore. The “dry” in dry sex is pretty critical: it means that sex was had in which there was no chance of any fluid contact or exchange. If you’ve got a naked penis rubbing…

I was wondering why we were getting this question a lot lately. Then last week, I saw the movie ‘Knocked Up.’ Lo and behold, one of the characters in the movie claims (and exclaims) that a girl can’t get pregnant if she’s on top. ‘Cause of gravity and all that. WRONG! So totally not true!!! Yes…

No, the penis does not have to go far into the vaginal canal to result in pregnancy. There have been cases where pregnancies resulted without any insertion of a penis into a vaginal canal. All that needs to happen is sperm must get to the ovum (egg). Simply spilling fertile semen on the vulva can be…

Yes. Please understand that becoming pregnant isn’t about how long someone lasts, if someone is having sex for the first time, if someone reaches orgasm or not. There is ALWAYS a risk of pregnancy if a man and a woman have vaginal intercourse, and a high risk if during that intercourse the male…

Sperm are hearty, but they’re not that hearty! As long as your hands were dry when you had contact with your girlfriend, you’ve got nothing to worry about from this situation. Dry ejaculate or pre-ejaculate poses no risk. I’m not quite sure what you mean by saying you “poked” your girlfriend, but I…

For of all you need to understand that the length of time you have sex has nothing to do with your risk of pregnancy. It doesn’t matter if it was 15 seconds or 15 minutes; it doesn’t matter. If your partner did not ejaculate, your risk of pregnancy is pretty low. Your risk of sexually transmitted…

Your body doesn’t really care how long intercourse goes on for. Whether it’s 30 seconds or fifteen minutes (and it’s worth mentioning that five minutes of intercourse is about average, so that’s not a short period of time for that activity), what your body cares about if it has been exposed to…
