health Question & Answer


The testicles are where spermatogenesis begins. If a man has no testicles, nor any sperm of his own saved up in a sperm bank, then with current science it won't be possible for him to contribute his genetic material to a child.

HOWEVER, a man can BE a Father to a child. Being a father means different things to different people but mostly it's being there for the child's development. Lots of times he provides support emotionally, sometimes financially, sometimes guiding spiritually, but unconditional love and acceptance is paramount.

Yes, a woman can get pregnant when the man orgasms inside her vagina even if she did not orgasm. His ejaculate contains sperm which is half of the essential ingredients for making a baby (her ovum or egg is the other). But to give a really complete answer, I'd need answers to the three things you failed to mention: 1. Where do you mean inside her? ? (mouth, anus, vagina)? 2. Men can orgasm without ejaculating - did semen come out of his penis, or did he only orgasm? (these two are separate processes and typically only men who have practiced this skill know how to do this) 3. You did not mention was if a condom or some other form of contraception/birth control was involved. Used properly, that's what would prevent an unwanted or accidental pregnancy. As an aside, you're describing what seems to be typical heterosexual intercourse? for many. One partner, typically the male, finishes first and then some women masturbate afterwards to have their orgasm. The message of she comes first hasn't reached the masses because we don't teach pleasure in sex ed. Many women (~70%) don't orgasm through penis-in-vagina intercourse alone. Lots of women enjoy clitoral stimulation simultaneously with the penetrative act.

If you had unprotected intercourse the day before you ovulated, then yes. The idea is sperm need to meet egg and the sperm survive for a few days on the inside, sometimes laying in wait in the uterus or Fallopian tubes for the egg to come strolling along.

I wouldn't think though that pain would be an indicator of being pregnant. A bit of pain in your abdomen could also be something else.

You could be feeling what is called Mittelschmerz? - which literally translates to middle pain? It's the result of your ovary expelling an egg. Some say it feels like a twinge, others a dull ache. Some women feel this every month from opposite sides each month. Other women don?t notice at all.

If you think you're pregnant, in a few weeks you can do a pregnancy test to see for sure. If the pain is in your abdomen and not off to one side, or if it persists, it may be something other than Mittelschmerz. Best to go see a doctor to get yourself checked out to be sure.

Thank you for the A2A

You didn't specify which day or days you had intercourse nor did you say if you used any form of birth control.

You know what, Just assume yes, there is always a possibility to get pregnant if you are engaging in penis in vagina intercourse and you're not using a condom or any birth control.

While the risk of pregnancy is highest when you ovulate, there is just no way to be certain you won't be that one time so get empowered to protect yourself.

If you're having sex with a penis owner they literally could care less if you get pregnant. They're not the ones who potentially have to carry a baby for 9 months. You have to be responsible and protect you, your body, and your future.

They're the ones who want to have sex with you so begin to set the rules and boundaries you will accept for sexual interactions.

You want a condom Insist on it.

They don't want to wear one? You can find someone who will.

You don't want to have intercourse and would prefer to do something else? Speak up and say what you are and are not willing to do. You don't have to do what he says if you don't want to. Know this, you have more say than you probably realize.

My advice? Go talk to your doctor about north control and research one that works for you. Learn how to use birth control efficiently and effectively. Perhaps combine a couple forms that make sense to protect yourself from both STIs and pregnancy. Educate yourself about the combinations that dont work, for example, the condom for a penis and the internal condom; Those two should not be used together.

Again, if you're asking a question like this then you're engaging in risky behavior. Use the new knowledge and minimize the risk.

That question would be best answered by a lawyer.

But from my perspective as a sexologist, you're probably going to have to prove that you 1) followed the doctor's advice to refrain from sexual intercourse for the amount of time they recommend, 2) have masturbated the minimum number of times to flush out your system, ensuring there aren't any sperm left in your semen.

And 3) that you went back to the doctor to make sure there wasn?t any sperm in your semen, something like 3 months after the procedure.

The little swimmers can hang out for a long time after the procedure so if you got someone pregnant and didn't follow the doctor's instructions to the letter, then I'd think you probably don't have a case.

Having sex and through your pajamas are two points I need to clarify as they seem to be at odds.

Having sex usually means a penis goes into a vagina, and in that case, yes you can get pregnant. What behaviors were you engaged in that YOU describe as having sex??

I see you have requested my answer to this question. Like the others who have already answered, it is difficult to answer this. I can only try to make some assumptions to answer the question as it is right now.

Could you be pregnant? ? Have you had penis-in-vagina sexual intercourse? And was the penis inside you without a condom for any portion of the duration of the act? And did the person ejaculate inside your vagina (or even on your vulva)? And has the date on the calendar that your menstrual period would normally arrive pass? If you answer ?yes? to any or all of these questions, I would go to the doctor and have a pregnancy test done.

Do I think you can't have children? There is no way for me to answer this, unfortunately. I don't know anything about your health, history, physiology, etc.

If you resubmit the question, please be as specific as you can, giving appropriate background as necessary.

Thank you

If you have a quality therapist/counselor who is skilled at helping couples with relationship issues, then my answer to your question is yes?. I look at it like a regular doctor's visit or annual check up.

Even if you're a healthy couple? (and I'd be curious to hear how you define that), going to couples counseling proactively could definitely help you both to learn some skills for how to communicate with each other. You may not need to go every week but if you choose to, that's okay (You don't have to be going through some acute or pressing sh*t do that. But it can be expensive to go every week.)

The biggest factor is if you as a couple agree to do this since there will likely be some work for both of you to do.

It shouldn't, if the penis and scrotum are well washed.

If it isn't you could suggest taking a shower together and then gently washing the whole area with some gentle soap and water. Then, have at it.

Another idea, you could use a flavored condom that you enjoy to bring out a different taste, and perhaps smell

Honestly, regardless of whether or not this means you also have gonorrhea, take this opportunity to begin to get informed about your body and take your power back - Go to your doctor and get tested for STI's. You may have to specify which ones but just do all of them at once. So you know where you stand.

I know the prospect of having an STI is scary but if it's gonorrhea (which is a bacterial infection) that can be treated with antibiotics.

If you do have an STI, make sure to take the medication as directed by the doctor and take it until the end even if you begin to feel better. Why? Because if you don't complete the prescription as directed, then you could be contributing to making an antibiotic resistant strain of the bacteria (you do NOT want that).

Living with a curable STI (and potentially spreading it) just because you refuse to get tested is an awful thing to do. Not only for the impact on other people you sleep with but because of the long term effects the STI could have on you, depending upon the STI.

Once you get tested and know your status, then be vigilant about who you sleep with. Trust me; folks are going to want to sleep with you. The difference now is you have a tool to weed out the people who aren't worth your time or life. Tell them you want to see their current STI status (there are apps that help folks communicate this).

If they don't know it, encourage them to get tested. If they try to make you feel bad for asking to see theirs, then THEY are the jerk, not you. It's just the jerks who will try to accuse you of thinking they're dirty? or try to convince you that it feels better to have sex without a condom and refuse to get tested. Sure, but until you know their report is clear? you don't have to have sex with them at all, condomless or not.

Folks who are mature and understanding will get it and willingly, maybe even eagerly, comply. (And I can almost guarantee your dating pool will improve). You are expressing a boundary that protects your body, your peace of mind, and your sexual well being.

Here's to a better dating pool screened of immature jerks.
