Concerns About Oral Sex and Pregnancy Risk: What You Need to Know

My girlfriend helped me transition from oral sex to kissing, and then I helped her with oral sex?

On May 20th, my girlfriend performed oral sex on me, followed by kissing.
During the act, we kissed while continuing oral sex, but I did not ejaculate in her mouth; instead, I ejaculated on my hand.
Afterward, my girlfriend rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, and I also washed my hands.
We then went out for lunch and drinks, and after more than an hour, I performed oral sex on her again.
However, I only licked briefly before stopping and then used my fingers, but I only inserted them slightly because my girlfriend said it would hurt, so we ended there.
(We are mainly concerned about the possibility of pre-ejaculate fluid remaining in her mouth and causing pregnancy.) Thank you, doctor! Urgent!

Hello, based on your description, it is difficult to assess the situation.
As long as there are active sperm present in the vagina during the ovulation period, there is still a possibility of pregnancy regardless of the method of intercourse.
It is advisable to take appropriate contraceptive measures, and if necessary, please consult a physician for evaluation.
Thank you! Wishing you safety and health.

When it comes to oral sex and the associated risks, particularly regarding pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), it's essential to understand the mechanics of these activities and the biological factors involved.

Firstly, regarding your concern about the possibility of pregnancy from oral sex, it is important to clarify that pregnancy typically occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg. In the scenario you described, where you did not ejaculate in your girlfriend's mouth but rather on your hand, the risk of pregnancy is virtually nonexistent. Sperm needs to be deposited in the vagina for there to be a chance of conception. Even if some sperm were to transfer from your hand to her vagina, the likelihood of that resulting in pregnancy is extremely low, especially considering the time lapse and the fact that she washed her hands afterward.

Now, let's address the concern about the transfer of bodily fluids during oral sex. While oral sex itself does not lead to pregnancy, it can pose risks for STIs. If either partner has an STI, there is a potential for transmission through oral sex, especially if there are cuts or sores in the mouth or on the genitals. Common STIs that can be transmitted this way include herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of your partner's sexual health status and consider using protection, such as condoms or dental dams, to reduce the risk of STI transmission.

Regarding your specific situation, the act of kissing after oral sex does not inherently increase the risk of pregnancy, but it could potentially facilitate the transmission of STIs if either partner is infected. The saliva exchange during kissing can transmit certain infections, but again, this does not relate to pregnancy.

In terms of hygiene practices, washing hands and rinsing the mouth after sexual activities is a good practice to minimize the risk of infections. However, it is important to note that washing hands or rinsing the mouth does not eliminate the risk of STIs if there was exposure to infected bodily fluids.

Lastly, if you and your girlfriend are concerned about pregnancy and STIs, it may be beneficial to discuss contraceptive options and STI testing with a healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and open communication about sexual health can help both partners feel more secure and informed about their sexual practices.

In summary, based on the details you've provided, the risk of pregnancy from the activities described is extremely low. However, being proactive about STI prevention and maintaining open communication with your partner about sexual health is crucial for a safe and healthy sexual relationship.
