Question:
My partner and I are wondering that if that is it possible to get a women preganant by using a condom twice. However, only if the male doesn't ejaculate at all. The reason why we're asking this question is that my partner and I have done it, and I'm concern about the semen that might be still in the condom. Even though the condom contains nons. 9. I haven't ejaculated into her I pulled out just in time.

This is an excellent question and what you and your partner need to know is what happens even when there is no ejaculation.

Depending when you put the condom on, there is a small amount of fluid called pre-cum that carries with it a small amount of fluid that has some sperm and possible infections (if the person has contracted any) that comes down to lubricate the urethra of the penis. It does this to help keep the sperm alive since sperm is actually quite fragile as it leaves the body and goes into the fluids of a female's vagina.

Therefore, the condom that you used possibly has this pre-cum in it. Now, that does not mean it caused a pregnancy because as you said, you used it again and withdrew the next time. This is actually a very good way to prevent pregnancy.

Most people don't recommend the use of a condom the second time but it is mostly because they fear that they will break. I think that it is smart to use it, because it does reduce risks and it is safer than using no condom that second time.

Congratulations on being so responsible.
