Someone asked us: Is it possible to get pregnant from your boyfriend fingering you after he has touched his penis if there is no semen involved at all?

No, it’s not possible to get pregnant from fingering if there’s no sperm on your boyfriend’s fingers. To get pregnant, the fluid from your boyfriend’s penis that has sperm in it, like ejaculate (cum) or pre-ejaculate (pre-cum), has to enter your vagina. If there was none of these fluids on his hands after he touched his penis, then there would be no sperm in your vagina and you couldn’t get pregnant. If your boyfriend has cum or pre-cum on his fingers, make sure he washes them before touching your vagina to prevent pregnancy.
