Question:
I've got some questions regardging the effects of precum. I was with my gf, and she's a virgin and all, but about 5 hours before seeing her [around noon], I had masturbated and after that, I showered. During this day, I'd taken three long "restroom breaks," and the next day, say around 4 o'clock, her and I got to messing around, and I'd began to rub my penis at the entrance of her vagina, but stopped due to lack of safety. Is there any risk of pregnancy from contact with pre-cum? I understand that there are acids to eradicate the sperm in the urethra from urine, but I want to be enlightened, I want to be sure.

Sounds like you are really worried about having unprotected sex and the possibility that your girl friend might get pregnant. Pre-cum does have sperm in it and therefore if some of it gets in the vagina, pregnancy is possible. But you should also know that sperm come from the testicles and urine from your bladder. You do not have to urinate several times to "wash" sperm out of your urethra or worry that the sperm will mix with urine. But you should be considering wearing a condom if you and your girlfriend are involved with heavy petting and your penis is near her vagina. Take care..
