Can pre-ejaculation contact cause pregnancy without any sexual contact?

Question

Hi doctor,

I and my girlfriend were hugging each other by standing and lying down on the bed. Later, I found pre-ejaculate on my clothes. We were completely dressed, and there was no intercourse or penetration. She was wearing a sanitary pad also. Can this pre-ejaculate move through three layers of clothes and a pad? Will it cause pregnancy? She is confident that nothing happened. But I am worried. This happened after five days of her periods. I am always having this anxiety. I always fear hugging my girlfriend because pre-ejaculate will be there on my clothes, and take care while hugging her. But later, I think about it, and I become anxious that it may cause pregnancy. Please help me. Whenever I am with my girlfriend, I get pre-ejaculate on my clothes. Pre-ejaculate comes fast. I used to masturbate daily a minimum of three times. Is it because of that? Because of this pre-ejaculation, I am getting stressed. Please help.

Hello,

I can understand your concern about your symptoms.

What you feel is called pre cum, pre-ejaculatory fluid (PEF). It is a normal secretion that comes before you ejaculate so sperm can travel smoothly and get out of the penis. If there is no or reduced PEF, there are fewer chances of pregnancy. You can control the episodes of PEF by controlling your erotic feelings. Masturbation twice or thrice a week is normal. The following are the suggested methods to control sexual feelings:
