Can Precum During Non Penetrative Sex Cause Pregnancy?

I'am terribly afraid. i had unprotected dry sex..but without clothes on. however my boyfriends dick did not go in me at all, and i am 100% SURE of that. My problem and what i have been loosing sleepover is fact that i heard precum CAN get you pregnant. altho his dick did not go in, ther was precum, and it did touch my vaginal opening, i imidiately dried it off with some clothes because i got afraid. i went home and cleaned down there. I AM WORRIED AND STRESSING. could i be pregnant?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question. I can understand your concern very well.
I would like to enlighten you that pregnancy can occur when healthy sperm fertilizes an ovum (which is released during ovulation at around 14th day of regular menstrual cycle). And you have heard right that precum contains some amount of sperm and it can fertilize an ovum and cause pregnancy, no matter ejaculation occurred inside vagina or not.
In your case, if you had unprotected sex in between 12th to18th day of your cycle, then there are every chances that precum can cause pregnancy. You could have taken emergency contraceptive pills immediately after unprotected sex. But anyways, i would suggest you to wait till your next period and if it does not come, then go for pregnancy test. If the test is positive, then you need to consult a gynec for your further plan of action.
Hope this answers your question and let me know directly if you have any further relevant queries.
