I have never had sex with a guy. I hate sounding stupid because I know that no sex= no baby. But I'm always naked with my boyfriend when we do stuff and I'm wondering if accidentally I may have gotten pregnant somehow? Is this possible? Am I just imagining being late on my period?

Lee's Thoughts:

YES this is possible. Even if there is no penetration, as long as his ejaculate gets near your vagina, those tough little sperm can get up inside of you and to your eggs. Also, he doesn't even NEED to ejaculate. If you notice, guys release a tiny bit of clear liquid before they actually come at all. This stuff is packed with sperm too, so even if you are having sex and he is pulling out before he comes (the oh-so-popular "pull out and pray" method)...there is a huge chance you could be changing diapers in nine months. Even if he is just rubbing around on the outside, STILL a huge change for pregnancy.

If you think you are mature enough for this type of closeness, then you should be mature enough to talk to your mom and make an appointment for the gynecologist to get on some sort of birth control. And always back up your pill with yet another method.
