Among some of our more absurd questions, we’ve been asked the following – “can I get pregnant by sitting on my boyfriend’s lap?” and “I was being playful with my boyfriend, can I get pregnant by sitting on my boyfriend’s lap?” – here is the answer.
No. Quite simple. Without copulation, there’s no pregnancy. This is one of the strangest questions asked on our site. But, as always, I answer every question with the same angst. Can you get pregnant by sitting on your boyfriend’s lap? You can’t. Unless there’s actual copulation taking place – the keyword here is copulation.
Reproduction is a biological process; it requires a few key elements to work. And when you sit on your boyfriend’s lap, that’s more of a friendly and warm gesture rather than coitus and reproduction. So, no, you can not get pregnant by merely sitting on your boyfriend’s lap. This isn’t magic; this is anatomy; this is biology; it’s human nature. It’s a beautiful process of multiplication, and it doesn’t just happen.
Pregnancy doesn’t just happen – it is a process and requires both people to be completely involved with one another. As we said, it’s a biological process. Without coitus, just by sitting on your boyfriend’s lap, there’s no chance of getting pregnant.
Short Answer: No, you cannot get pregnant by sitting on your boyfriend’s lap.
Can I get pregnant by sleeping with my boyfriend?
If you’re sleeping with your boyfriend and there’s no coitus involved, there’s no chance of pregnancy. Again, it’s a process; it’s not magic. If you’re cuddling with your boyfriend, having a warm and comfy nap next to him, no coitus or reproduction is going on, and there’s no pregnancy. Although, when you cuddle with your boyfriend, your body releases a lot of hormones that make you feel happy and warm. But still, not pregnant.
Since we’re on the subject, let’s follow up with a few more golden questions I’ve received:
Can I get pregnant by looking at my boyfriend?
No. It is not possible to get pregnant just by looking at someone. Unless copulation is involved, there is no chance of pregnancy. The kind of look doesn’t matter, looks don’t have the power to impregnate anyone.
Can I get pregnant by touching my boyfriend?
No. While touch consists of a lot of sensations that we feel, those sensations don’t include getting pregnant. Again, without copulation – there is no way to become pregnant. Not by touch, not by looking at someone, not by sitting on someone’s lap.
