Pre-cum/Sperm
I've read online that studies have proven that there is no sperm in pre-cum. The only time there is sperm in pre-cum is if the guy has recently ejaculated and still has leftover sperm in his shaft. If he has recently taken a piss and cleaned it all out then there is most likely no sperm. Anyways, I was wondering what everyone else's opinion is on this. Is this really true? I've read it on more than one webpage and they weren't phoney pages. They were on real pages like sex advice pages run by experts. People say they've gotten pregnant from pre-cum, but what I'm thinking is that was all because they weren't careful about there being leftover sperm in the shaft. I mean pre-cum comes out clear and the ejaculation/cum is always a white color. Lemme know what yall know/think of this.

The idea that there is NO sperm at all in pre-ejaculate (if he urinated… ha) is far from proven.
In my opinion, there can be semen in pre-ejaculate. Probably only in very, very small amounts, but it has been proven to be present. I wish I could provide links the articles and evidence however I can’t, and this is why:
Not everything online is current. The most current studies are not available online unless you pay for them, and even then maybe not.
So google is not a good thing to use to find out the most accurate medical information.
Do not make the mistake of thinking, just because it is online, it must be current and up to date. The internet is not a moderated or peer-reviewed source of information. The pages you saw aren’t ‘phony’ they are simply outdated or misinformed.
Find me a peer-reviewed article on semen in pre-cum form the past four years and we’ll talk.
Sadly, it's a very prevalent piece of medical ‘information’, and some studies have supported it as a theory. Specifically people like to cite the Springer Netherlands Study.
So, what is wrong with that study? A few things, in my opinion. First off, it was done in 2003. We have more recent studies that dispute its results. Secondly, they used only 12 subjects, not a wide enough sample to draw firm conclusions on male sexuality. The other two studies commonly cited were not actually studying semen at all but HIV and just made tangential comments that there was very little semen present in pre-cum. NOT ‘no semen’, but ‘very little’. Those studies are from 1993.
So, yes, I think it is rational to believe there can be semen in pre-cum. Perhaps not all the time, and when it is, in very, very small amounts. No one has actually studied whether or not it actually has any connection to a man’s last urination, but in my experience with inaccurate medical information, that sounds to me a lot like a made-up detail that people like to throw in to make their claims sound more creditable then they actually are.
Given the evidence it certainly seems EXTREMLY unlikely that pre-cum could result in a pregnancy, but extremely unlikely is a far cry from impossible.
In the end though, it doesn’t really matter if there is or isn’t sperm in pre-cum. There is HIV and a host of other STIs present. There is the very, very real risk of your male partner not being in prefect control. I don’t care how ‘skilled’ a male claimed to be, I wouldn’t let him play Russian roulette with my fertility thank you very much!
So what do I think/know?
I think that it is rational to believe that sperm can be contained in pre-cum, although it is likely that it very rarely is. I think the studies that are often cited as being ‘proof’ that there is no semen at all are outdated and not providing enough focused study for such a definite conclusion.
I know that is doesn’t really matter. I know that sexual activity is risky, no matter what, and people, teens especially, should use protection for everything from oral sex to full out penetration.
