Can she get pregnant?

My girlfriend and I are both 19 years of age. I did not penetrate her at all and my fingers did not go inside of her. All I did was rub her. Her period is usually at the end of each month. Can she get pregnant?

Not usually.

What do you mean by “rub her”? When men are aroused, there is the release of what is called a “pre-ejaculate” which is clear fluid that comes out of your penis. This pre-ejaculate can contain sperm although in much lower levels than when you have an orgasm. If your penis was rubbing along the outside of her vagina, it is possible that there could be some pre-ejaculate fluid that makes it into her vagina. The odds of pregnancy are very low but not zero. Remember, all it takes is one sperm to fertilize an egg. The best thing for you to do is to practice “safer” sex by wearing condoms with spermicide- it helps prevent pregnancies but also helps prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The latter can be acquired even without penetration.
