Question:
Hello, this is my first time here but I don't know where else I can get information. I've had sex with my girlfriend twice (the first time she had her period like 2 days after, but this is concerning the 2nd time), and I'm worried if she's pregnant or not. This is what we did: we pretty much had sex, with a condom and all(Trojan with spermicide), but the condom slipped off a little bit--not all the way, or even reaching the head, just like a third-of-the-way-up --and I just kept pulling the condom back down. I didnt ejaculate while my penis was inside her--I pulled out well before I ejaculate, even with the condom on. What are the chances that precum or something could have gotten her pregnant? It's been well over a week since it happened, and I just started giving it a thought.

Hi there and thanks for the question. The chances that your girlfriend got pregnant in this situation (as you described it) are ridiculously low. You really only need to be concerned about a slipping condom if it comes off inside of the vagina or if it is not covering the penis all the way. Since you kept pulling it down, you made sure that you had the protection you needed. Furthermore, precum only has semen in it if you have ejaculated recently and haven't peed since then. Finally the amount of semen in precum is so small that the chance someone will get pregnant from precum without a condom is relatively low. You're doing the right thing by using condoms and have very little to be worried about in this regard. Safer sex is more enjoyable sex, and I hope you continue to know what I mean. Take care, M.
