Question:
I have a question to add on to another one that I read. I was reading through questions that had to deal with precum, and the possibility of getting pregnant. One of the questions talked about rubbing the penis on his girlfriend's clitoris, but not actually entering the vagina. I also do this, but shortly afterwards i will use my fingers to stimulate my girlfriend, entering the vagina. Is there and possibility of getting pregnant from the precum if it came into contact with the vagina, and then onto my fingers. One thing that I am always careful of is making sure that I haven't ejaculated recently, and that I urinate before sexual activity, so that the chance is low that there will be any sperm in the precum. Is that true? Thank you very much.
I have also read questions that other doctors on this site have replied to, and many of them say that precum DOES contain sperm. However I am under the influence that it won't contain sperm as long as I urinate and haven't ejaculated prior to sexual activity.

Thank you for your question. I know there is controversy about whether there is or is not sperm in precum. The research that has been reported, suggests as you wrote, that if there has not been a recent ejaculation where there could be sperm left in the urethra (tube inside the penis) and you have urinated which would then eliminate sperm from the tube, that sperm is not present in semen.
It is important to be careful but sperm is actually very fragile and the reason the body makes millions daily demonstrates the fragility. Sperm is easily lost, dies, has imperfections and needs the semen to keep it alive.
IF you are using your fingers and have touched your precum (but not your ejaculation) it is not very likely that you will create a pregnancy. Note though that I say, "not very likely". If you want certainty, you will need to cleanse your fingers before introducing them into the vagina after touching your own fluids.
I hope this clarifies the information for you. Thank you for writing and feel free to write again if you have more questions.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
