Can You Get Pregnant from Oral Sex and External Contact?

Could I be pregnant?

If your girlfriend performed oral sex and your hand touched your penis but did not come into contact with semen, and then you touched her vulva without penetrating her vagina, the likelihood of pregnancy is extremely low.
Pregnancy typically requires the presence of sperm in the vaginal canal, which usually occurs through vaginal intercourse.
Since you did not penetrate her vagina and there was no semen involved, the chances of her becoming pregnant are negligible.

When it comes to the question of whether you can get pregnant from oral sex and external contact, the short answer is that the likelihood is extremely low, but it is not entirely impossible under certain circumstances.
In your specific scenario, where you engaged in oral sex and then touched your girlfriend's genital area without any direct contact with semen, the risk of pregnancy is negligible. For pregnancy to occur, sperm must be deposited in or very near the vaginal canal, allowing it to travel to the egg for fertilization. In your case, since you mentioned that your hands were dry and that you did not have any direct contact with ejaculate, the chances of sperm being transferred to her vagina are minimal.

To elaborate further, sperm can survive outside the body for a limited time, but they require a moist environment to remain viable. Once exposed to air and allowed to dry, sperm quickly lose their motility and ability to fertilize an egg. In your situation, since more than half an hour had passed and your hands were completely dry, it is highly unlikely that any viable sperm would have been present to cause a pregnancy.

Regarding the concern about touching the vaginal area, even if you made contact with the vaginal opening (the vulva) without penetrating, the risk remains low. The vaginal canal has a natural acidic environment that helps to protect against infections and also serves as a barrier to sperm. While it is theoretically possible for sperm to enter the vagina through external contact, the chances of this leading to pregnancy are very small, especially if there was no ejaculation involved.

In terms of statistics, while it's difficult to quantify an exact percentage for your specific scenario, the consensus in medical literature is that the risk of pregnancy from such activities is significantly lower than from vaginal intercourse. Most sources suggest that if there is no direct ejaculation into the vagina, the chances of pregnancy are close to zero.

It's also worth noting that concerns about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) should be taken into account, as oral sex can still pose risks for transmission of certain infections, even if pregnancy is not a concern. Therefore, practicing safe sex, including the use of barriers like condoms during oral sex, is advisable to reduce the risk of STIs.

In conclusion, based on the details you've provided, the likelihood of your girlfriend becoming pregnant from the activities described is extremely low. If you have further concerns about sexual health or pregnancy, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and information.
