TV Checkup: <em>Scrubs</em>' John Dorian: Most Fertile Doc on TV

Scrubs finally returned this week (yeah!) on its new night at the same time as Grey's Anatomy (booo!) and just about everyone on the show is pregnant (weee!).

The season premiere of the medical comedy (medcom?) picked up where last season's cliffhanger left off with J.D. learning that his new girlfriend is pregnant despite that they've only been on two dates. Even more shocking, we learned last night that they never had intercourse.

It's probably best if I let J.D. explain in his own words: "There was some unexpected friendly fire, and even though I never got a chance to enter the village, there was an airstrike on one of the outlying regions. I spoke to the gals up in Ob/G, and they said it's not uncommon for a woman to get pregnant even if there was no actual penetration."

Kudos to the Scrubs crew for delivering the funniest dialogue ever written to describe premature ejaculation.

But is this really possible? Can a woman get pregnant without penetration? WebMD's Dr. Louise Chang explains:

A woman can get pregnant without penetration. If any sperm reaches the vaginal opening it can travel via her vaginal fluid. This could happen with body rubbing without intercourse or if you have ejaculate on your hands and have vaginal penetration that way. Keep in mind that there is usually pre-ejaculate (or sperm at the tip of the penis before ejaculation) that you may not notice. This also explains why the practice of withdrawal as birth control is not adequate.
