My period is five days late. I've had unprotected sex in the past month, but my partner says he didn't ejaculate. Could I be pregnant?
Yes you could be. Preseminal fluid contains semen as well as the ejacutlation itself. A test may be in order and protection in future would be the best bet.
Answer to:
Me and my gf had un protected sex, it was her first time and my firs time. i did not ejaculate inside her but i am aware that there is always some sperm on the tip when a guy gets aroused. Wut are the chances of her being pregnant.
I agree totally with PG - there is certainly a chance and a test is in order. And to prevent this possibility happening again using protection would be the best bet. Good luck.

Ah - great question. How about ....as you approach them, or they you, just hold your arm out as if to shake hands instead. Your "first move" is likely to elicit a natural response from them of holding their arm out to do the same. If that does not work, eat a huge chocolate eclaire and leave heaps of cream around your chin, then pucker your lips and approach them saying "kissy...

As a (trying to be) good parent I did too and we hugged and are best mates again. But it still hurt. It was over something really silly too - wearing his best jeans to school!

2 main reasons.......taking advantage of demand to reach peak occupancy and reducing costs.

This practice only works when demand exceeds supply and can be very risky unless you are confident that the...
