Hello!

 

Thank you for trusting us with your question,

If I understand it well, you are worried about the possibility of getting pregnant from your boyfriend rubbing his penis on your vulva without any penetration, is that right?

To answer your question, the probability of getting pregnant from rubbing is low. I understand that you’re not sure if your boyfriend ejaculated or not. As you probably know, if he ejaculated near the entrance of the vagina, the probability of getting pregnant would be higher, but the possibility still exists if he did not. If you allow me to cite a previous answer, that is because “ the pre-ejaculatory fluid, a clear liquid that comes out of the tip of the penis in response to arousal and before ejaculation can still contain a few spermatozoids. If those spermatozoids get inside of the vaginal canal, they could theoretically swim their way up and fertilize the egg. This is why “pulling out” is not considered an effective way to prevent pregnancy. Even if that possibility is way less probable than if there is an ejaculation inside of the vagina, it is still not entirely impossible, and the only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test, which can be accessible at the drugstore, at the doctor office, or even in other online stores such as Amazon.” 

While it is true that you can track at which moment of the month your fertility is the highest, this isn’t a full-proof method if you don’t wish to get pregnant at the moment. However, you could use this knowledge in combination with birth control and/or protection if you want to. “If you are not trying to conceive at this moment, there are a few options that you could explore to prevent accidental pregnancy, and some of them, such as the condom, can also protect you from sexually transmitted infections (depending on these infections, they could be contracted through vaginal sex/oral sex/anal sex/rubbing/etc.). Here’s a link about it if you want to have a look.” Condoms can be purchased at drugstores and supermarkets, while birth control pills can be prescribed by doctors in hospitals and private medical clinics. Here is a link about contraception methods and gynecological care in Bandar Seri Begawan. 

Finally, some doctors can prescribe emergency contraception pills that can be effective to prevent pregnancy if taken quickly. Getting an IUD up to five days after having unprotected sex can also be a form of emergency contraception. 

I hope that answers your question, and feel free to write to us again if you have more. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, as I understand it can be a stressful subject to wonder or worry about.

 

All the best,

A.b.
