Question Posted Saturday November 3 2007, 10:36 pm
my girlfriend and i were having unprotected sex, but i pulled out before i came. i washed my penis and peed after, and then we did it again, but i was wondering if there could be any left on my penis from the first time that i came, which would make her pregnant

But anyway, No worrys. Because first off you wash then your clean and if you pee, your clean. But also, once spream is exposed to enough air it dies anyway. [ nowaaay's advice column | Ask nowaaay A Question ]

Looks like you need to do more research.
"No, precum itself does not contain sperm, but be careful when you're APPROACHING ejaculation. Precum is not only a lubricant and a cleaner, but also a nutrient-rich medium for the sperm to swim in that they eat as they travel towards the egg. Because of this, it DOES mix with the sperm right before ejaculation, and it is possible for this mixture to leak out as precum would."
and there are MANY more sites with info like this.
Now, it might not be common, but it can happen.
Don't forget it only takes ONE to get a girl pregnant.
Now, in answer to your question, you washed your penis, so fair enough, there would be no sperm left if you did it thoroughly, but who's to say you didn't accidentally leak as you came close to orgasm? What if there was sperm left over in your urethra even if you did urinate?
What's stopping you from using more effective methods? Nothing. So do it in future.
In your case, the chances of pregnancy is probably slim to none. You might not be so lucky next time. You may not be able to control yourself or you could get caught up in the moment.
If you do happen to get into this situation again and have an "accident" so to speak, there's a morning after pill for a reason.
P.S. You must have some form of doubt, otherwise you wouldn't have asked the question. You would have stuck to what you researched, right? Protected sex will make it better, because you won't be worried about pulling out etc.
Sorry for the long answer with stuff you said you didn't want to hear. I just want you to be safe and have a more enjoyable experience without the worry. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
Razhie answered Sunday November 4 2007, 1:00 pm: It's possible. Which if you had read all those lovely links thoroughly, I have to think you would have noticed. Ludicrously, amazingly unlikely that there was any sperm remaining after you urinated, but technically possible. The same way being hit by lightning on a sunny day is technically possible.
May I suggest you reexamine your statistics though? Your 3% is extremely optimistic. The FDA has the typical failure rate for the pull-out method around 20 percent. When practiced perfectly (that means you pull out in time and clean up EVERY time) some researchers estimate the failure rate to be at the very lowest about 5 percent, compared to condoms at 2% - 3% and oral contraceptives at 0.5% to 5%. This means 5 to 20 women out of every 100 who use withdrawal as their contraceptive method, get pregnant.
Not to mention STDs...
Even though the likelihood of pregnancy is extremely low you and your girlfriend should probably consider your choice more seriously. There are far better options out there. Maybe you should research some of them. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

One of them says its more likely if you have recently ejaculated, which Im asssuming you did the first time, so the second time it was more likely.
eskimo answered Sunday November 4 2007, 12:50 pm: Well in order to give sensible advice I have to say there is always a chance of it remaining no matter how many times you washed it, as semen in small amounts is nearly impossible to see. BUT I'd bet that chance is very small. I probably wouldn't worry about it too much and I'm glad you researched it before you made the decision... Smart man. :) [ eskimo's advice column | Ask eskimo A Question ]
