When it comes to understanding the risks of pregnancy associated with pre-ejaculate fluid and oral sex, it's important to clarify a few key points based on medical knowledge and the information provided.

1. Pre-ejaculate and Pregnancy Risk: Pre-ejaculate fluid, often referred to as pre-cum, is a clear fluid that is released from the penis during sexual arousal. It is produced by the Cowper's glands and serves to lubricate the urethra and neutralize acidity. While pre-ejaculate itself does not typically contain sperm, it can pick up sperm that may be left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. Therefore, if a male has recently ejaculated and then engages in sexual activity without cleaning the penis, there is a potential risk of sperm being present in the pre-ejaculate.
In your scenario, if you touched your glans (the head of the penis) and then engaged in manual stimulation of your girlfriend without wiping your hands, there is a slight risk of transferring sperm to her. However, the likelihood of pregnancy from this action is generally low, especially if there was no direct ejaculation involved.

2. Oral Sex and Pregnancy: When it comes to oral sex, the risk of pregnancy is virtually non-existent. This is because pregnancy typically requires sperm to enter the vaginal canal and fertilize an egg. If your girlfriend performed oral sex after you had touched your glans, the risk of her becoming pregnant from this act alone is extremely low. The act of oral sex does not provide a pathway for sperm to reach the egg.

3. Understanding the Risks: It is essential to understand that while the risk of pregnancy from the scenarios you described is low, it is not zero. Engaging in sexual activities without proper precautions can lead to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Therefore, it is always advisable to practice safe sex, which includes using condoms and ensuring that both partners are aware of their sexual health status.

4. Safe Practices: If you and your partner are considering becoming pregnant, it is crucial to have open discussions about your intentions and to engage in practices that maximize the chances of conception while minimizing risks. If you are not ready for pregnancy, using reliable contraception is essential.
5. Consulting Healthcare Providers: If there are any concerns about potential pregnancy or sexual health, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances and help you understand your options.

In summary, while the risk of pregnancy from the actions described is low, it is important to be aware of the potential for sperm transfer in certain situations. Practicing safe sex and maintaining open communication with your partner about sexual health and intentions is key to preventing unintended pregnancies and ensuring both partners feel comfortable and informed.
