What constitutes the abuse of emergency contraception?

The reason I ask this is because I am currently not on bc. I have not had unprotected sex either. However, my SO frequently has "wet dreams" and tends to ejaculate on me at night. I'm very paranoid about becoming pregnant and I have taken emergency contraception twice (in one month) as a result of waking up wet down there from one of his nocturnal emissions. Should I be taking emergency contraception for this at all?

I am planning to start bc this soon, but in the meantime, what should I do? I know this is such an odd question!

OP, in the meantime, I think that taking EC only when the ejaculate is actually on your vulva would be a very conservative way to go. The truth is that you probably don't even need it then. You DEFINITELY don't need it if he's ejaculating elsewhere.

Or yeah, make him wear pants. Its hard on your body to be taking EC very often...he should be shouldering some of the burden here!
