blackcat34,

Why don't you explain how exactly sperm gets in the pre ejaculate?

That's what I'd like to know. Sperm don't just decide to take a trip up the urethra and get a head start on the others. They come through when someone ejaculates....that's pretty much it! The only reason why a few would be hanging around still is if they recently ejaculated.

Penile Erection -Role of the Parasympathetic Nerves
No need for me to go over this.....

Lubrication a Parasympathetic Funtion

During sexual stimulation, the parasympathetic impulses, in addition to promoting erection, cause the urethral glands and the bulbourethral glands to secrete mucus. This mucus flows through the urethra during intercourse to aid in the lubrication of coitus. However, most of the lubrication of coitus is provided by the female sexual organs rather than by the male. Without satisfactory lubrication, the male sexual act is seldom successful because unlubricated intercourse causes grating, painful sensations that inhibit rather than excite sexual sensations.

Emission and Ejaculation - Function of the Sympathetic Nerves

Emission and ejaculation are the culmination of the male sexual act. When the sexual stimulus becomes extremely intense, the reflex centers of the spinal cord begin to emit sympathetic impulses that leave the cord at T-12 to L-2 and pass the genital organs through the hypogastric and pelvic sympathetic nerve plexuses to initiate emission, the forerunner of ejaculation.

Emission begins with the contraction of the vas deferens and the ampulla to cause expulsion of sperm into the internal urethra. Then, contractions of the muscular coat of the prostate gland followed finally by contraction of the seminal vesicles expel prostatic and seminal fluid also into the urethra, forcing the sperm forward. All these fluids mix in the internal urethra with mucus already secreted by the bulbourethral glands to form the semen. This process to this point is emission

The filling of the internal urethra with semen elicits sensory signals that are transmitted through the pudendal nerves to the sacral regions of the cord, giving the feeling of sudden fullness in the internal genital organs. Also, these sensory signals further excite rhythmical contraction of the internal genital organs and cause contraction of the ischiocavernosus and bulbocavernosus muscles that compress the bases of the penile erectile tissue. These effects together cause rhythmical, wavelike increases in pressure in both the erectile tissure of the penis and the genital ducts and urethra, which "ejaculate" the semen from the urethra to the the semen from the urethra to the exterior. This final process is called ejaculation. At the same time, rhythmical contractions of the pelvic muscles and even of some of the muscles of the body trunk cause thrusting movements of the pelvis and penis, which also help propel the semen into the deepest recesses of the vagina and perhaps even slightly into the cervix of the uterus.


So according to this textbook the sperm is already in the system before it is ejaculated. The book also states that another fluid is added at the last minute... this is what helps propel the whole mix out of the penis...and also as the book says "flushes the system".

Edit: phew.. alot of typing....

It misleads these young girls into thinking that the PULL OUT method is an actual method of birth control WHICH IT IS NOT! No doctor or clinic would ever condone these girls using the PULL OUT method as their sole method of birth control!

The part you left out:


I ALWAYS POST A SOURCE SO PEOPLE CAN READ THE ENTIRE PAGE FOR THEMSELVES. It is hard enough to get people to read a small paragraph, so they can read as much as they want .

ALSO, the VERY FIRST thing highlighted in my post said this:

The only explanation of how sperm could possibly be in a male’s urethra before orgasm, is that there were traces of semen lining the urethral walls (from a previous orgasm) before.

I have also stated, every time I bring this up, that the withdrawal method has a high failure rate because guys, especially younger guys, can not control when they ejaculate as well as they think, and also I ALWAYS ADD that there CAN BE SPERM IN PRE EJACULATE. I explain that sperm from a prior ejaculation can mix with the pre ejaculate and impregnate a woman.

I have never, ever suggested withdrawal is a valid form of birth control, because it is not. Pre ejaculate can get you pregnant, and I have never said otherwise. I am simply explaining how and why pre ejaculate can cause pregnancy.


We don't know what was said in your post now, because it was altered.

Black cat is totally correct. I would also have to say that douching does NOT work neither will eating certain types of food. If you don't want to get pregnant go to a planned parenthood get birth control or get him to use a condom. Seems like your a bit to late for a plan B to work. Also you wont be able to get it so easily if you are under the age of 18.

I think that is because you QUOTED futureshock and her post WAS ALTERED. So now it only shows a link for the information - not the partial information she posted. From a blog that was someone else's interpretation of 2 studies they read.

I'm not sure why her post was altered... it seems weird that a mod would alter something a poster wrote. Unless, I guess... maybe it was requested?
