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? I know I've read a million times that urinating removes some, if not all of the semen, but I'd like to know the chance here.

Hello, Unfortunately, I cannot give you an exact percentage of chance, but what you have read about precum seems to be accurate. The only 100 percent foolproof way is not to contact the Opening of the vagina with the penis. Next safest method would be to use a condom if you are going to rub your penis on the vulva. The amount of sperm in pre-cum or in semen varies from man to man, so predictions are not an exact science here. Semen is actually the fluid that carries the sperm, the sperm are what we are concerned with for pregnancy. Sperm are fragile outside the body, and their chance of survival to swim through pubic hair, into the vagina is low, so I would say the chance is low, but refer to my earlier comments on "safe" and "safer".
