Precum

I was just curious what you all thought about the likliness of precum getting a woman pregnant... My boyfriend and I used it many times in the past and I never had a scare ( dumb I know ) but I really dont think the amount of precum could do it, I really beleive you need the full ejaculate... Does anyone know of anyone getting pregnant from precum ONLY?? This interests me ( I know I'm weird, lol )

I dont know the Statistics, but...

Sperm can live for up to 2 days outside of the testes.

When a man Ejaculates, not all of the sperm leave the penis.

The purpose of precum is to cleanse the tubing (forgive me i forget all of the names...) so that nothing inside kills the sperm... regardless; it pushes everything, usually inculding sperm, out of the urethra and into whatever happens to be at the end of the urethra.

If a man has ejaculated within the past 48hours there's a pretty huge risk (again, not sure on the stats, there are relatively few sperm in there) of you getting pregnant from the precum.

And i'm not a doctor or anything, but i've had quite a bit of unprotected sex so i paid attention in A&P.

G'luck

ok, typo... there's a "pretty huge risk" of the sperm ending up in your cervix... everything else seems to be well discussed above.

And i've always wondered if urination really flushed the system; Thanks for the info!!

Thanks for clarifying in your second comment. :)

Just a note -- do you have a source for the sperm living two days outside the testes? Everything I've read on the subject indicates that in the female body, sperm have been observed to live for an average of 2-3 days, with six to seven days (http://www.managingcontraception.com/QA/show_item.php?item=1012&type=qna) being the observed maximum (though that would be a more rare phenomenon).

i wasn't referring to sperm inside the female body, and i dont have a source; i just remember that our A&P prof. stressed the need for caution when dealing with precum 2 days following ejaculation.

Fair enough -- I've just never heard that particular statistic before, and when citing unusual stats it is always awesome to find links to support that in VP.

Most experts I've read state that so long as urination has occured following a previous ejaculation, any motile sperm left in the urethra will likely be washed out.
