Pregnancy Info HOME

Um, Honest Guy.... anyone that took Junior High health class should know that pre-cum is just full of sperm.... and I don't know any educated person ( educated, like attended any school after the age of 15) who actually thinks this method of "birth control" ( what a joke) would actually work...

Yeah, I should know... the first time I got pregnant was with the "pull-out method." Proof positive that it doesn't work. (Not that we were totally expecting it not to.) and "Hey.." you'd be surprised at the number of people who think this method works.

but what was their age and mentality? I mean, no adult would think this was a good idea... it doesn't take much thought to figure out...

i know that, i was only young, and my msg was aimed at the younger teenagers who keep on posting about pre-cum etc on these forums. i was just tryin to share some advice.

i know that, i was only young, and my msg was aimed at the younger teenagers who keep on posting about pre-cum etc on these forums, and people are giving answers such as "scientific proof that pre-cum contains NO sperm". i was just tryin to share some advice for the younger generation of readers on here.

Have you actually researched this lately?

how much research do i need to do, i know for a fact that i now have a beautiful little daughter from "pulling" out

But are you absolutely certain you pulled out in time?

"to Honest Guy" you are mistaken in your beliefs. I HAVE researched the whole "pull-out" theory. Although the sperm count in pre-cum is low, it is still present.

yes i am sure considering it was about 2 minutes prior to climax... To "Hey you... " thanks for ur back up!!

A few guys I've talked to said that they slip all the way through sex. So no, pulling out isn't very effective, even if you do pull out plenty early.

He is right! Why on earth would you attack him for giving good sound advice!? And yes, there are adults on this site that aren't aware of this and it is asked very often if pre cum or the pull out method can result in pregnancy. So, get over it people!!

No one attacked him..... what are you talking about?

There are recent studies that say that sperm only exists in precum if the man has ejaculated recently and not urinated between then and the time he puts it in. I wouldn't risk it if I definitely didn't want to get pregnant, just in case, but the research out there, because of the most recent findings, is controversial. These same studies hypothesize that not pulling out in time is why the withdrawal method is so disastrous. Just giving you the whole picture.

Um... and I'm quite educated. Beyond a bachelor's degree. It's really about being able to read. Honest guy, I am not attacking you and I commend you for throwing this out here. I'm just not convinced we can say for sure...
