Could I Get Pregnant?
My boyfriend and I have recently started to have oral sex. We have not yet had vaginal sex. Is it possible for me to get pregnant?

TeensHealth: No. You can't get pregnant from oral or anal sex alone. For a girl to get pregnant, the guy's sperm has to get into her vagina — and eventually up through the cervix into the uterus — and this can't happen physically with oral or anal sex. However, if a couple has anal sex and some of the guy's sperm ends up near the opening to the girl's vagina, there is a chance she could get pregnant.
Although you can't get pregnant from oral and anal sex, you can still get STDs like herpes and HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). So if you're having oral or anal sex, always use a condom
