Can I get pregnant from fingering?

[agapezara]

Hello! I’m asking this question on here as I’ve researched online and it either says low chance of pregnancy or I can’t be but I overthink so I’d really like to know.

My boyfriend touched his private area which I know had pre-cum (unsure if there was also cum) and then he wiped the pre-cum either on himself or clothes not sure but I know he wiped it off. Around 5 mins later he then used the same fingers and fingered me. Could I be pregnant? If so what percentage rate if that’s possible?

Hi agapezara,

Not to worry, there is no risk of pregnancy here. Sperm cells are very fragile and can't survive the trip from the penis to the hand to the vagina, let alone the trip from penis to hand to other things he touched and then to the vagina. Nor can they survive after being wiped off. The only time there is a risk for pregnancy is when there is direct contact between genitals or direct contact of ejaculate with the vulva or vaginal opening. You can find more information on that here: Who's Afraid of Sperm Cells?
