My boyfriend and I had sex, and he wore a condom. But, when he pulled out because he was about to cum, it came out of the condom. I don’t think he cum inside, but I’m unsure of there was a hole in the condom or not. If there was, could pre-ejaculatory fluid have entered in? Could I be pregnant?

If there was a hole in the condom or if the condom slipped off inside of you when he was pulling out, it is possible that pre-ejaculatory fluid may have leaked out inside of you. This fluid can contain sperm so pregnancy is possible. However, the risk of pregnancy would be much higher had semen been deposited in the vagina.

Condoms work best when they are used correctly and consistently. Here are some tips for correct condom use.

  • Always check the expiration date to be sure it is not expired prior to use.
  • Condoms should be stored at room temperature in a sharps free environment.
  • Never use an oil-based lubricant with a latex condom. If you need additional lubricant, use a water-based type like KY Jelly or Astroglide.
  • Pinch the tip of the condom between the thumb and forefinger while rolling it onto the erect penis to ensure that there is no air pocket in the tip of the condom.
  • Smooth out the sides of the condom once it has been rolled on to ensure there are no air pockets in the sides of the condom.
  • Hold onto the rim or base of the condom while removing the penis from the vagina to prevent it from slipping off inside the vagina during removal.
  • Do not have any penis-vagina contact without a condom.

You and your partner may want to consider a hormonal method of birth control since they are a little more effective.
