Question:
Hi, my girlfriend and I have had sex in the past a few times, but not in the last few months. She is now having irregular periods. Last month she was 4 days late, and now up to 7 this month. Can she become pregant if I do not get off? Only the pre-cum was near her and there was never any sort of penetration. 1)Must I ejaculate in her for her to become pregnant? 2) Is there any to truth to once sperm hits the air it dies? Thanks

"Pre-cum" does contain sperm, but not in very high quantities. Sperm does not die when exposed to air.

Her irregular periods are more likely because she is ovulating irregularly. She can get pregnant, however, if you do not use protection.
