5 days ago my girlfriend and I took the day off and literally pleasured eachother all day long. Us being so young, myself 18, and my girlfriend 17, we try to stay away from intercourse, and instead concentrate on oral, digital, and less safe, grinding of naked body parts. She wouldn't let me orgasm, however, stopping every 40 mins or so to give us both a 5 min breather...anyway, i noticed precum from my penis several times throughout the course of aproximately 6 hours but did not ejaculate. Finally, we both needed some release to the sexual tension, so I, without a condom or her on the pill, entered her and thrusted lightly for about 45 seconds before we both realized what we were doing and stopped immediately... Even then, I did not ejaculate. Again, I have been reading your posts for several days now and have acknowledged that you NORMALLY produce precum as having little to no sperm, but you have not said anything about my specific situation. If I had ejaculated without urinating, you say my precum would then contain sperm, what though, of almost ejaculating and not urinating. That tingly feeling men get before ejaculating, rising from the testicles, up through the stomach and ultimately through the penis, does this bring sperm to the urethra? Being brought near orgasm several times, but not ejaculating, and not urinating, would there be sperm in the precum?

My girlfriend and I are so upset, we're going to go out tomorrow and get condoms in case we ever feel that tense again.

One final important bit of info you'll need to take into account:

My girlfriend has a very irregular ovulation cycle; her period doesn't always come on the same days, but she THINKS it should be coming in the 20's of this month. The ultimate stress adder: the day we took off was Feb 11...which, unless I'm mistaken, falls right into her fertile period...

Honestly, doctor, what should I be thinking? thank you

By now you will possibly know when your girlfriend ovulated. Ovulation usually occurs about 10 days before the first drops of blood of menstruation appear. Since it is now in the 20's her period might have appeared and you can count back to that marathon day (which is a wonderful enjoyment of safe sexual pleasures with each other!)

I am curious about why your girlfriend wouldn't let you orgasm. She may believe that once you've orgasmed you can't have another,but that is a misconception. Sexual arousal can occur several times within those hours, to orgasm for both of you, without any penetration or intercourse. It sounds as if you needed a few breathers in the 6 hours anyway, so both of you having an orgasm, resting and then starting again is a real possibility. Remember, putting a penis into the vagina is only one of many, many ways to have an orgasm - and it is one of the more risky ways. All the other things you were doing could provide orgasms to each other and you could still continue on!

Anyway, That tingly feeling that you describe certainly moves sperm along into the fluids that are eventually going to protect it when ejaculation occurs. To my knowledge there hasn't been enough research on just what actions bring about more sperm into precum. We just don't know, so I can't even answer that.

I'm glad that you are going to be prepared in the future, with condoms. You are a lucky man in that you can have all that sexual arousal and not have an ejaculation in all that time. I also don't want you to get into bad habits where your body will not ejaculate when you want it to, having practiced holding it back for so long. The condoms or orgasm/ejaculation in other ways will certainly help that.

I hope this was helpful information. Please feel free to write back if you have more questions.
