Can I get pregnant from making out in my underwear (or naked)?

You cannot get pregnant from making out with your clothes on; it is possible to get pregnant from making out while naked but the chances of this happening are highly unlikely. In order for pregnancy to occur there must be contact between the female genital area and male sperm and contact without penetration is unlikely to result in pregnancy. However, any contact between the female genital area and male sperm can, in theory, result in pregnancy and should be handled with caution.

Can I get pregnant from oral sex?

No, you cannot get pregnant from giving or receiving oral sex.

Can I get pregnant without genital penetration?

Yes, in theory if female genitals make contact with male sperm pregnancy could occur, however this is highly unlikely. A greater concern in this matter should be STDs and HIV.

Can sperm travel through water (like in a hot tub) and make me pregnant?
