Susan's Place Transgender Resources

This is literally the only place I know that I feel someone I know may not stumble upon this question. I'm a gay trans man, been on T about 2.5 years and am a virgin. However, I have begun playing around with other guys, usually getting them off by hand and them doing the same for me. So tonight I met up with a guy, I got him off and some of his semen was on his thigh. He wiped it up with his finger and put his finger in his mouth before he fingered me. So my question:

1. Should I be worried that I run the risk of pregnancy?
2. In general, how easy is it for transmen to get pregnant compared to their afab cis counterparts?
3. Is there anything I can do to possibly learn more info? The info online is scarce at best.


Thanks.

1. In general, yes. From the experience you just had, probably not.
2. About the same. Testosterone is not a contraceptive by any means.
3. Talk to your doctor about depo provera shots. They are a non-hormonal birth control option.

All I know is that it's possible to be fertile/conceive even on T for a while. Not sure for how long, eventually fertile cycles stop so at some point fertility is gone.

If you're worried, a pharmacy pregnancy test will give you the answer. It detects human chorionic gonadotropin produced by the zygote, and T won't interfere with being able to pick that up in a test.

Ditto what FTMax said above. Sperm can only survive outside the human body for a couple of minutes, and whilst it's highly unlikely that anything happened, there is a small possibility that viable sperm may have made it to somewhere you don't want it to be.

It's not easy for anyone to fall pregnant even under the best of circumstances, but all it takes is one single sperm cell to make it to a viable egg & you're up the creek without a paddle. I'd recommend doing a test just to put your mind at rest.

I should also add: semen is a very risky substance in terms of STDs.

Obviously any form of penetration is more risky than handjobs, but you're at risk of catching an STD if an infected partner's semen comes into contact with any open wounds or with mucous membranes (such as where you were fingered).

So if you choose to move on to penetration, condoms are a must when playing with unfamiliar guys. You can't tell whether someone's clean or not just based on how they look, so please always use protection & get yourself tested regularly.

Enjoy your play... but please play safely.

Thank you all. It only happened last night so I'd in theory have to wait to take the test anyway. I don't plan to move on to penetration until I'm with a partner/husband and that will always be protected sex until I have a hysterectomy though I do prefer to top. Next time I go to my doctor for a hormone check, I'll get tested for STDs. I appreciate the answers and I'm pretty calm now compared to last night.
