Can I get pregnant if I don't ejaculate?

In the sex life of a couple, if there is no desire to have children, good contraceptive measures should be taken. There are many methods of contraception. Some couples like to use the method of external ejaculation. In fact, this method can indeed play a certain role in preventing pregnancy, but this method is not 100% effective and may also lead to accidental pregnancy. Let us learn about this aspect below.

Can I get pregnant if I don't ejaculate?

1. You can’t get pregnant if you don’t ejaculate inside: Generally speaking, you can’t get pregnant if the man doesn’t ejaculate inside the woman during sex. This is because the male sperm did not enter the female's body to combine with the egg to become a fertilized egg.

2. You may get pregnant if you don’t ejaculate: The possibility of this happening is very small, unless conception occurs through ejaculation outside the vagina or a small amount of semen remaining in the penis enters the vagina.

(1) Conception by in vitro fertilization: In vitro fertilization, also known as the withdrawal method or the method of interrupted intercourse, is used for daily contraception, but the contraceptive effect is not good. Sometimes, if you can't control it well, semen may flow out before the climax of sexual intercourse or before ejaculation. Once a small amount of semen enters the vagina, it may cause contraceptive failure.

(2) A small amount of semen remaining in the penis enters the vagina: Some men immediately enter the female body to continue sexual intercourse after ejaculating outside the body, or the penis does not enter the female body but only rubs around the vagina. Since there is still semen left in the male's penis, it can cause a woman to become pregnant as long as this semen enters the vagina.

Can I get pregnant by ejaculating outside the vagina?

Can I get pregnant by ejaculating outside the body? Male ejaculation outside the vagina reduces the chances of female pregnancy, but it does not rule out the possibility that a small amount of semen has been ejaculated into the female vagina before ejaculation outside the vagina or orgasm, resulting in contraceptive failure. Therefore, the success rate of contraception by ejaculation outside the body is not 100%.

There are three main reasons why pregnancy may occur after ejaculation outside the vagina:

1. A small amount of sperm has entered the vagina before ejaculation: Sperm cells usually flow out of the urethra with the contraction of the vas deferens before ejaculation. Each drop contains about 50,000 sperm. If it flows into the vagina, one drop of semen is enough to fertilize the woman.

2. Failure to withdraw the penis in time: A small amount of semen has been ejaculated into the vagina before the man withdraws the penis from the vagina. The distance between the action of impending ejaculation and ejaculation is extremely short. During orgasm, most men cannot grasp the timing accurately. They may be unable to withdraw the penis from the vagina in time because they are attached to the pleasure, causing part of the semen to be ejaculated inside the vagina.

3. Sexual intercourse again: Sometimes after ejaculation outside the body, the man immediately touches the woman's vulva with his hands to make her reach orgasm, or has sexual intercourse for the second time not long after. In these two situations, the fingers and penis may bring sperm into the vagina again.
