Too Much Sex Effect Pregnancy Later On ??
Posted: 06-06-07 01:16am

Can too much sex effect pregnancy later on? Say I have been having sexual intercourse regularily with my partner for over 5 years. We have been using the pull-out method. Sometimes we use protection (condom) but most of the time we dont. But he is extremely careful to pull out on time, and I have not gotten pregnant.
Now, In the future when I get married and plan to get pregnant, will this history have any effect on my chances of getting pregnant? Because I have heard that when the male pulls out it reduces the females chances of being able to get pregnant in the future.

Please reply back with your feedback. Thanks

I can honestly say that I've never heard of that, but I don't know why pulling out would have anything to do with future pregnancy chances. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help. Confused

Keep on using the pull-out method and you'll be pregnant in no time!

The only connection between too much sex and fertility is in sperm production. If the man has been ejaculating often, there will be a lower sperm count per shot than if he hasn't ejaculated for a longer period of time.

THere can be sperm present in pre-cum, so you can get pregnant even if he doesn't ejaculate.

You've been lucky!!!

But no, this doesn't mean you will have less of a chance getting pregnant in the future.

Thank you all for your replies.

It seems that everyone has the opinion, and that there is no link whatsoever. Regarding the pull-out method, it may be a lucky-factor that I have not got pregnant but more so he really cares about our relationship and is very careful about his actions... its been over 5 years now.

The thing about the pull out method is that it is more effective than no birth control, but there is a risk even if the man pulls out every time before he ejaculates because there can be sperm in his pre-cum, and therefore it could get into your body before he ever ejaculates. So it's not just that he might not pull out, but even if he does you can still get pregnant.

Of course, it would be hard, but possible. I am surprised that you have been doing this successfully for five years!!

Not that it is a bad thing to do, but if you really aren't ready for kids, the risk isn't really worth it.

Exactly. Even if the man pulls out perfectly every single time, you can still get pregnant because sperm can come out well before ejaculation. So you are taking a huge risk every time you use the pull out method alone. You are either very lucky that you have not gotten pregnant, or one of you may be unable to have children.

The fact that he pulls out will not in any way make you infertile though. That wouldn't even make sense! The fact that he pulls out is not going to change your reproductive organs in any way to make you sterile!

If you decide to try for children and end up having trouble, you can see a fertility specialist to see if there is a medical problem with either of you that is causing that difficulty. Like I said, if there is a medical problem, you can rest assured that it is not a result of his pulling out.

If you really want to avoid pregnancy right now, you should probably look into a real method of birth control.
