    Question

    Yesterday I was in bed with my boyfriend and for the first time we laid on top of each other and he was wearing undies and boxers and I was wearing just undies. We moved up and down, stopped and then did it a few more times. We were both sort of wet but he said he didn't think he came. But I felt some sticky stuff on my thigh. Is this dry sex? Could I get pregnant? Should I take the morning after pill? Am I still a virgin?

    Answer

    First, you are a virgin if you are not sexually active and there was no penetration of his penis into your vagina. Second, the chances of you getting pregnant even if he did ejaculate on your thigh are slim. Third, there is no need to take the morning after pill.

    However, it sounds as if you went farther than you were comfortable with and you need to take some time and think about your choices before you get pregnant or find yourself with a sexually transmitted infection. It would have been easy for yesterday to have gone farther. If you are planning to be sexually active you need to see your doctor, start a reliable method of birth control, and have condoms available for use during all sexual contact. Be safe, not sorry!
