<s>[INST] Hello Doctor, I never thought i would be asking this question in my life but things so happened that I put myself in this situation. I would like to know if there is a chance that my wife will become pregnant (which we both do not want at this point in time) after we made out without direct contact of our genitals but with minimal clothes on... I don t even know if I have put forth my question right... Regards, Karthik [/INST] Dear Parthia, If your sex play was with clothes on and no penetration of vagina by penis; in short, no possibility of deposition of either semen nor pronominal secretions (which do contain some sperms) in or around vagina, there is no possibility of pregnancy. Moreover, if the whole incidence has taken place beyond the fertile period, you should not be worried about pregnancy. Now let me explain you fertile period. Egg is released 14 days prior to the next expected period. Considering eggs life of 24 hours and sperm activity for 72 hours, a period of about one week around the day of egg release is considered as fertile period. Dear Parthia, if you are sure that you want to differ pregnancy for some period of time, I would suggest you to adapt some reliable method of birth control instead of going through such stressful situation which is not good for your neither for your wives health. Condom, birth control pills or intrauterine device like Cut are good simple contraceptive methods. You may opt for anyone or more of them. I hope this helps you. </s>
