Q: 

Can you get pregnant from dry humping?

My bf and I dry humped about a month ago now-it was three days before my last period was due! My period that time ended up being 5 days late! Now it is time for my period again but it is MIA! I feel as if my period should be coming but no bleeding! We both had clothes on when we dry humped-he had sweats and I had underwear! Could I be pregnant?

Hello Anon

Thank you writing.

Nobody can get pregnant when clothed. Did you have sex ed at school? If not, it's a good idea to study on your own so you know how sex and the human body works. You can read books on this or search our own site. This will eliminate a lot of stress than the unknown can cause.
A woman cannot get pregnant unless she has unprotected sex (naked) with ejaculation. She would also have to be ovulating. Sperm will not travel through a layer of clothing to impregnate.

So a pregnancy cannot occur from what you did.

Best,
Susan
