Can I get pregnant from oral sex?
No. You cannot get pregnant from oral sex of any kind. For a pregnancy to occur, semen has to be in the vagina, which is connected the uterus. The mouth is not connected to the vagina, so there’s no way for sperm to meet an egg. So no, swallowing semen won’t lead to pregnancy. That being said, you can get STIs from oral sex so using a condom or a dental dam is still a really good idea.
