Some cite precum as a source of pregnancy, though I've read numerous studies that found that there are no sperm in "precum" and I believe it even comes from the prostate. I've also read that sperm that IS occasionally found in this fluid is the risidual sperm from an earlier ejaculation and can be killed through urination. My girlfriend and I use a withdrawal along with birth control in case of any "slip-ups" although there hasn't been one yet.

Let me be the first to congratulate you and your g/f on your upcoming pregnancy is you decide to use withdrawal alone!!!! Apparently YOU have not read the studies NOR done the empirical research on sperm presence. Take a microscope and look in your urine post ejaculation about 4 hours later--post void. Have you ever thought either you or your g/f are infertile? Or just damned lucky? Go tell Brandye, she is full of **** with what she is saying; seen with her own eyes, as well as the same for me with what I see. Both in patients and medical research. Don't interpret research you are not familiar with, you are doing yourselves a great disservice.

The conclusion was YES in fact preejaculatory fluid contains spermazoa and advocates against the use coitus interruptius as a method of birth control.
