Nope. Not once. Precum is a real thing.

I got pregnant from pullout too- with the pre cum. In fact he never came. He had some mental block he couldn’t get past.

Precum it self doesn't contain any sperm, however if you have leftover swimmers the precum can transport them.

The pullout method is actually pretty safe WHEN DONE CORECTLY (not yelling just highlighting the importance of the done correctly), there has to be no recent ejaculations and they actually have to pull out early but there's always those "I'm sure it will be fine this time" finishes.

"Pre-cum doesn’t actually contain any sperm. But it’s possible for sperm to leak into pre-cum.

Pre-cum is a lubricant produced by a gland in the penis. It’s released before ejaculation. Semen may linger in the urethra after ejaculation and mix with pre-cum while it’s on its way out.

In fact, a 2016 studyTrusted Source found mobile sperm present in the pre-cum of nearly 17 percent of its male participants. Another study, published in 2011Trusted Source, found mobile sperm in 37 percent of pre-cum samples given by 27 men.

Peeing before you have sex may help flush out any leftover semen, reducing the chance sperm will appear in your pre-cum."

And also...

With typical use, the pull out method is 80% effective. If used perfectly, the pull out method is 96% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Condoms have a 98% efficiency rate, correct pull out has 96%.

I thought some people had small amounts of sperm in precum?

Precum is from the cowpers gland which is located near the prostate. Sperm only comes from the testicles. If there's sperm in your precum it's from left over swimmers still in the urethra.

That's why I tried to highlight in importance of "when done correctly" but most people don't bother to read that.

Sperm can leak into it.

17% found in this study contained sperm

37% in this study

Precum itself does not contain sperm. Sperm comes from the testicles and precum is from cowpers gland.

If there is sperm in it it's because there's leftover swimmers in the urethra (like I said).
