Is there a risk of pregnancy if a partner rubs his penis against the vagina without penetrative intercourse, and is emergency contraception recommended in this situation?

Asked by Female, 18 · 14 hours ago

While the risk of pregnancy from genital rubbing without penetration is extremely low, it is not completely zero. If semen or pre-ejaculate gets directly onto the vaginal opening, sperm can theoretically travel inside. If ejaculation occurred directly on or very near the vagina, taking emergency contraception (such as levonorgestrel) within 72 hours is a safe precaution for peace of mind. However, if there was no ejaculation, the risk is negligible and emergency contraception is generally not necessary. To ease your anxiety, you can take a home pregnancy test 14 to 21 days after the contact.
