Dear Alice,
My girlfriend and I masturbate and have oral sex every day and we
really enjoy it. One thing that concerns me is that although we have not
had sex yet, we have frequent genital touch; we use our genitals to rub
each other to get excitement. Will this cause some possibility of getting
pregnant? Both of us have never had sex before.

Dear Don't Know,
There is a small chance that your girlfriend could get pregnant
without intercourse. If the sperm from your ejaculate or pre-ejaculate
gets near the lips around her vagina when she is fertile, the sperm can
move into the vagina, hook up with an egg, and fertilize it (a.k.a.,
conception). If you want to make sure that your girlfriend doesn't get
pregnant, either use a condom, or make sure both ejaculate and
pre-ejaculatory fluids are far from her vagina. Also, if you touch your
own semen and then touch your girlfriend's vagina with your hands, these
highly motivated swimmers could travel to the egg.
