Contradictory statement of yours confuse me.....
I used to use the pulling out method but after the second pregnancy scare I decided against it. I'm 20 and going through school so a child (though a very happy and blessed idea when I get my degree) wouldn't be the best for me right now. Anyway...
In one of your previous responses on page 1 you said that pre-cum had a few sperm in it to lower the acidity of a woman's vagina but in a later responce you said that it was just like regular semon that had thousands of sperm in it. If you could clear this up for me that would be great.
P.S. I believe this is a great site that allows young people to ask practical questions (no matter how bazzar) and recieve a truthful straightforward answer without the fear of taunting or other unfavorable drawbacks. What you're doing is a great thing and I hope you keep doing more of it!

Sorry for any confusion. I did try to find the other answer, but couldn't.
Pre-cum is a clear alkaline fluid, also known as 'Cowper's Fluid.' In scientific terms, it is there to lubricate the penis (to help out with penetration), and also help the foreskin slide back from the head of the penis. It also can help neutralize any acidity in the penis (leftover from urine).
There are conflicting sources on info on how many sperm are present in pre-cum, and how likely a woman is to get pregnant from them. The health authority in England says that thousands of sperm can be pregnant in pre-cum. Pre-cum can include leaking of actual cum, as well as the clear lubricating fluid. Pre-cum has been shown to have STDs such as HIV in it, so it's not safe to prevent pregnancy or the transmission of any possible STDs/STIs.
All these fancy words and studies aside, I always say better safe than sorry. If you and your partner don't like condoms (and you've both tested negative for STDs), then you might want to consider other forms of birth control.
Thanks for the kind words - I think it's always important for young people to be able to ask questions and get clear, unbiased, and non-embarassed advice. I wish you the best.
