What Is Pre-Cum? Can I Get Pregnant From It?

In fact, you CAN get pregnant from pre-cum.

The fluid that comes out of a penis during arousal — but before ejaculation — is called pre-ejaculate. Some people refer to it as “pre-cum.”

It is made up of several fluids but mostly fluid from the Cowper's gland. Its main functions are to provide lubrication and neutralize the acidity of the urethra.

Pre-cum can contain live sperm in a small percentage of people. Sperm may also be present if the person has not urinated since their last ejaculation.

So, the fact is:

You can get pregnant from pre-cum.

Pre-ejaculate fluid can also contain STI’s (sexually transmitted infections).

Also, most men cannot tell when they have pre-ejaculated.

Coitus Interruptus or The Withdrawal Method are terms for unprotected penetrative sex where the penis is pulled out prior to ejaculation. If you use "pulling out" as your primary method of birth control, the estimated chance of pregnancy over a one year period is 1 in 5.
