Some advice please?

Unread post by LK963 »

Hi Scarleteen!
Firstly, the website is so helpful, as are you guys! But my question is, can ejaculate leak out of a condom with it tearing or slipping off?
Because myself and my boyfriend have regularly been having sex for coming up on a year, with no accidents so far! We've always used condoms and I'm not on any other birth control. However, we had sex about two weeks ago, around when I would have been fertile, using protection, and when he withdrew he held the base as correctly, but the ejaculate had moved from the tip towards the shaft. He assured me it was bone dry and he couldn't see anything that had come out but I'm now nearly 2 days late on my period, which is somewhat worrying!
So my question is, can ejaculate leak out of the base of a condom? And if so, is it likely to become pregnant if it does?

I meant to say "without it tearing or slipping off", sorry about that!

Hi LK,

As long as the condom does not break or come off, then you can assume it did its job.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
