Dear xtanyax,

Yes. Pre-cum, or pre-ejaculate, is the liquid that seeps from the tip of the penis during sexual excitement before ejaculation happens. This fluid helps coat the urethra and helps sperm move. If there are sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, then pre-cum could push them through the penis before a guy actually comes. So it's actually more likely for pregnancy to occur from pre-cum if a guy has ejaculated earlier in the day than if he hasn't ejaculated for several days.

Teens who have sex play that can result in pregnancy need to make decisions about birth control. To find out your birth control options, check out Birth Control Choices for Teens.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
