Pre-cum Pregnancy?

If my partner and I are having sex without a condom, can pre-cum cause pregnancy? How far back should we pull out before he actually ejaculates or does it not matter just as long as we bring it out soon enough before? I don't really want to take birth control right now for certain reasons, but I do want him to experience my vagina without a condom. I just want to do it the "safest" way possible without getting pregnant. Silly, I know. Any answers would be helpful, thanks and have a good day.

You may wish to check out the section on withdrawal (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Non-Hormonal_Birth_Control#Spermicide) in VP's Vulvapedia entry on Non Hormonal Birth Control (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Non-Hormonal_Birth_Control#Non-Hormonal_Birth_Control_.28NHBC.29). There are some links that discuss the results of scientific studies on the presence of sperm in pre-ejaculatory fluid. Basically, while pre-ejaculatory fluid generally contains no viable sperm on its own and doesn't even come from the same place as semen, it can pick up any semen left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, provided they haven't been flushed out by other means (usually urination).

If your decision not to take birth control right now refers specifically to hormonal birth control, you may also wish to check out some of the other options listed in the Vulvapedia entry.

"...it can pick up any semen left in the urethra..."

It can pick up any sperm left in the urethra.

I should really not try to type when I am tired. ;)
