Can a girl really get pregnant if she's still a virgin and there wasn't full penetration? Like, if there was just rubbing with some precum involved, is pregnancy still possible? I'm just trying to understand how risky it is, and how worried we should be about pregnancy in this kind of situation.

Yes, it is possible for pregnancy to occur even without full penetration if sperm from precum comes into contact with the vagina. Though the risk is lower, its still a possibility, so using contraception is important to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Question

What blood types should not have babies together?

I'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.
