Does the sperm have to be inside your vagina to become pregnant?

Answer 1

Usually penetration is required, but women have got pregnant without it. Like water it flows, and it is microscopic. The odds of pregnancy drop very low unless a quantity of semen gets into the vagina. If it is just on or around the outside, there is still a risk of pregnancy if some seeps inside, but it is unlikely since it usually takes a large quantity of sperm cells to ensure that at least one finds its way all the way up the vagina, through the cervix and past the uterus to find and fertilize an egg -- which must then also successfully implant itself in the uterine lining.

Answer 2

It has to go all the way up to the vagina where the egg is waiting to be fertilized. However, this does not have to happen from sexual intercourse. Any foreplay that results in sperm secretion from a male that comes into contact with the interior of the vagina can result in pregnancy. Sperm motility (ability to travel) plays a role in this, the younger the male the higher the chance of conception from this method.
