A member asked:

Can you get your partner pregnant by dry humping?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: If you are referring to having "intercourse" over your clothes, then the answer is no. In order to get pregnant, sperm must reach the egg either through traditional intercourse or through artificial means such as in vitro fertilization.
