Is Pregnancy Possible Through Frottage?

Posted on Tue, 20 Oct 2015

Question: Can sperms cross three layers of clothes? Boxers, pyjamas and panties?

Answered by Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
It is extremely unlikely for the sperms to cross 3 layers of clothes

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Good morning!
I can understand your concerns.

Sperms need a pretty direct route and really must be placed in or near the vagina in a liquid environment (they "swim" to get through the cervix and to a waiting egg). Fabric (in the boxers, pyjamas or panties) makes it extremely difficult for the sperms to get where it needs to go to meet an egg.

Hope this answers your query.
Regards.

Hi doctor,

I know I am freaking out without any reason. Me and the guy were dry humping and he was in his boxers, whereas I was wearing my pyjamas and an underwear. He ejaculted in his boxers. I hope this is safe. I am sure nothing wrong can happen in this way.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
You are most welcome.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Thanks for your reply.

Since you & your gentleman were "dry humping" and he ejaculated in his boxers and you were wearing pyjama and an underwear, so there were so many barriers for the seminal fluid to cross & hence you are safe.

I hope this answers your query.

Take care.
