Okay probably waaaaaaaay TMI but I'm asking anyway...
Since Panda opened the door for me to post this I will. 
Yes, I'm still as 12 year old that still blushes about this stuff.
Okay so obviously we all know sperm can help get the ball rolling with labor. Now that E and I are getting closer to the end, our sex drive is def not increasing but when we feel up to it we def give it a try. Should I have him pull out when he's finished in fear of going into preterm labor or this isn't something I should worry about. I know I know....laugh all you want!

I *think* you're okay.
I don't think having sex leads to pre-term labor. It just softens the cervix.
There's a lot of things that have to "go" to make labor happen. At this point you could potentially be dilated already. It just depends on your body.

I think you should be fine unless your doctor has told you a specific reason why it would be dangerous for you. If you're still nervous, just have him wear a condom.

What everyone else said. It'll only jump start labor if your body is ready. The prostaglandins in semen work to soften the cervix. Same idea as evening primrose oil, etc.
I found if I had an orgasm I had some BH contractions for a bit afterwards though.
Same as others have said. It will not "put you into labor", but it will help soften the cervix if your cervix is favorable, which means your body is already getting prepared for labor.
