PRECUM DEBATE ENDED!!!!NO SPERM IN PRECUM!!!

How long can the sperm live while it is in the male's urethra? Please help!

You're not helping your case by insulting medstudent1 and claiming he "wants to be right about everything". It just makes you sound like an unintelligent mudslinger. Plus, your basis of insulting him isn't even true and yet you're (ironically) insulting him for being presumptuous. Reality check, buddy?

Don't tell people that they CANNOT get pregnant AT ANY TIME WHILE ON THE PILL....... I am living proof that you CAN.. I started taking the pill at the age of 16 (at my mothers request.) When I met my now husband I was still taking the pill and also using a condom, The one time we did not use the condom (but i was still taking the pill) I became pregnant with my son. Even though the pill is 99% effective there is still that 1% chance of it happening.

How do you know this is credible .. When this data was reported 2003?!

99% effective comes from scientific studies performed for the pill. Because you personally know 3 people that supposedly took the pill properly does not mean it isn't 99% effective. Same goes for condoms and their effective rate. Your three girlfriends are lying to you about taking the pill properly.

You can get pregnant while on the pill!! Many of my friends have more then one kid whil take all different kinds of borth conrtol so that is not true!! And even doctors say tere is a chance of conception i would know i ot pregnant while on birth control!

Your doctor is an id**t and is not up to date on the matter. Please refer me to a scientific study conducted that shows there to be sperm in pre ejaculate.

There were actually twelve. The study was explaining that five of the men included in the study had issues with premature ejaculation, three secreted excessive amounts of fluid during foreplay and the last four were considered normal, healthy males.

Hi there. I hope what u say is true. Because I had sex with someone then he pulled out and to be blunt came in my mouth and I have just found out am pregnant but I must say the person I had sex with was not my partner and now am a little worries but ur post would indicate that the precum did not get me pregnant so phew

hahha UMMM no "medstudent:" go back to school I know MANY women as I work in OB that have babies on the way because of IUD's, Mini Pill, Depo shot and MORE you CAN VERY WELL get pregnant on birthcontrol PERIOD.

There is no "best form" of birth control for everyone. There are so many factors to consider. Even speaking solely about effectiveness rates, an IUD or IUS have over 99% effectiveness as well. Tubal ligation does too.

Legitimate scientific research has to be peer reviewed and published in a scientific journal. Whether or not this research was government funded doesn't make it any less legitimate.

Check your studies. Arguably the most prestigious medical publication of this medical specialty in England published a study in which 41% of their subjects secreted some sperm along with their precum (study summary and references below). The cowper's gland does not secret sperm but many men do secret some sperm along with their precum. Another study showed that most men do secret some sperm when moderately to highly aroused. Of these men, the more highly aroused the more likely they secret some sperm prior to full ejaculation and the greater they are aroused the more sperm they tend to "pre-release". The much larger study also showed that a small percentage of men express a large amount of sperm throughout arousal and another group of men who prematurely ejaculate due to physical factors (vs psychological factors) tend to express sperm throughout arousal.

The bottom line, why risk it? The consequences are some of the greatest you deal with in life.

Abstract

This study was designed to establish whether motile spermatozoa are released with pre-ejaculatory fluid and whether this fluid therefore poses a risk for unintended pregnancy. Forty samples of pre-ejaculatory fluid were examined from 27 volunteer men. Samples were obtained by masturbation and by touching the end of the penis with a Petri dish prior to ejaculation. Eleven of the 27 subjects (41%) produced pre-ejaculatory samples that contained spermatozoa and in 10 of these cases (37%), a reasonable proportion of the sperm was motile. The volunteers produced on up to five separate occasions and sperms were found in either all or none of their pre-ejaculatory samples. Hence, condoms should continue to be used from the first moment of genital contact, although it may be that some men, less likely to leak spermatozoa in their pre-ejaculatory fluid, are able to practice coitus interruptus more successfully than others

Then Why hasnt my girlfriend gotten her period?

You do realize unlike men, women have three holes. If a guy ejaculates into a woman's vagina, urinating will not kill the sperm because they are ENTIRELY different parts of the lower body. If a girl urinating right after sex killed the sperm the human race would have died off years ago. I cannot believe someone was actually naive enough to believe something so ludicrous.
