    Is it possible to get pregnant without actually having sex?
    Is it possible to get pregnant without the penis actually going inside the vagina ?

    Why are you asking this question? Do you think you are pregnant?

    If the boy ejaculates on you or him and then touches it and then touches inside of you, yes it can happen.

    It is harder to happen, but can happen. The sperm has to get inside,

    Yes, it can happen. As another answer said, all it takes is for the sperm to get inside the vagina. If he ejaculated near your vagina, anything is possible. Good luck.

    No you cannot get pregnant unless sperm has met egg(having sex). Unless you had artificial insemination, that is the only other way and its done by doctors.

    No, it's impossible to get pregnant from not having sex. However, your mind can trick you into actually believing that you're pregnant so you get the symptoms of a pregnant woman. However, one sperm is ejaculated from the penis, it become infertile when in contact with air. So it dies instantaneously. That's why it is such a tedious task to preserve sperm for future insemination. Unless the sperm is inside the vagina and comes in contact with an egg, then no, you can not get pregnant.

    So you're a doctor, are you?

    Sperm does not die instantaneously when exposed to air. It can live for up to an hour, possibly more... so yes, technically it IS possible to become pregnant without penile insertion. It could be on the vagina and get in... it could be on fingers and get in... there are numerous ways that it COULD happen. Is it likely to happen? Probably not... but don't go posting things as fact that aren't true.

    But if fingers put the sperm inside, bingo!

    You know this is what they teach us in school? So sorry if it differs from what you learned. Don't blame me, blame the school system where I live.

    We need to correct people who give the wrong information. Someone could become pregnant with the information you gave.

    We pride ourselves on accuracy here! For a 19 year old (you posted your age in another thread) I would hope you would take a moment to do your own research instead of arguing with a trusted member of this site. Go to your library, ask your doctor, Google it. That would make more sense. I would also get a hold of your school board and inform them of the teacher's error in teaching.

    Learn the facts before you give wrong info. I could understand you repeating what you were taught if it was the first response. But there were a couple of contradictory responses before yours. So instead of giving different advice you should have checked first.

    Yes... and I think is a great idea if you get some education on human reporoduction before you start messing around with the opposite sex. You can't always change what's been done... after its been done. And some things have a lifetime of implications... like a pregnancy.

    What kind of school teachers that? DO they teach 2+2=5 there too?

    Because that is COMPLETELY incorrect. And there are thousands if not millions (could even be tens of millions) of young girls and young women get pregnant every year by that incorrect assumption.

    All it takes is for something microscopic to get from his weiner to her vaginal opening... touch or clothing doesn't matter... it only has to happen while its still viable and that is more than enough time.

    Ever get ink or something on your hand and get it all over everything before you knew it was there? Remember the mess you had to clean up... this is no different.

    Time to learn some actual facts on human reproduction before you find yourself supprised by an unplanned pregnancy. It happens every day to people that thought they knew far more than they actually did. And even believed the wrong things.

    I see it at least 15 or 20 times every single day on just this site... so imagine how often it really happens in the world.
