Hmm..
I have heard that it can happen..I know a couple that had never ever had sex..Not even oral or anything and they got pregnant...The sperm can move and a woman's body has like these 'road signs' that show the sperm where to go..It is also true that sperm die once they come in contact with oxygen...But I know it is possible to become pregnant without intercourse..Hope this helps..I would contact your doctor or take a test to be sure...Good luck!

Okay, theoretically a woman *could* get pregnant from anal sex, since some sperm could leak out of the anus after the man withdraws. However, jenni's reply as absolutely false. A woman cannot get pregnant without having sex. However, "sex" has many definitions and any contact between a man's penis and a woman's vagina can result in pregnancy even without the man ejaculating - men often have "precum", a normal discharge from the penis that occurs with sexual excitement, which can contain sperm. Sperm do not die when they come into contact with oxygen, in fact they may survive several days in the vagina, which is open to the environment and hense, contains air. (this does not mean one should douche after sex, douching can actually push the sperm farther up the woman's reproductive tract.) the hiv virus does not withstand exposure to air - perhaps jenni confused this point. Anyhow, sperm can only fertilize an egg if they travel through the vagina and uterus to the fallopian tubes (the tubes from the ovaries to the uterus). A woman cannot get pregnant from oral sex (even if the sperm could find their way, which is impossible, the acid from the stomach would kill them before they got very far) and from anal sex only by vaginal contamination. Hope that helps!

Yep. If semen drips from the anus to the vagina, there is a small chance of pregnancy.
