I just have one question. I am a virgin because my boyfriend has not gone all the way in yet. But for some reason I am still scared of becoming pregnant. Can I still become pregnant by just humping even if he hasn't gone in yet to break my cherry? If you know this answer please answer me because I have no idea!!!!!

Yes. If semen is on the outer vaginal area it can in fact "swim" up through the tract & indeed attain fertilization. This is the purpose of sperm & the lil' boogers are very determined, & it only takes one to make it out of the whole bunch! The fear you're experiencing is more likely the awareness that if you keep doing this you'll eventually go "all the way". I would suggest that he still wear a condom, or better yet realize that you're not ready to go this far & stop teasing eachother all together. Love is not about sex or anything physical. Best wishes :)
