Many girls, especially those who are sexually inexperienced, are interested in the question of what kind of liquid is released when a man is aroused. During foreplay, you can observe how a kind of sticky lubricant, transparent and colorless, forms in small quantities on the head of the penis. But what is it, whether it is normal and what is the purpose of the mucus, you need to understand.
What is pre-cum?
Pre-ejaculation is a secretion produced in Cooper's gland during male arousal. It is an inevitable and important part of sexual relations. It exits through the urinary tract, lubricating it for easier and faster ejaculation.
It contains several chemicals. Sometimes, especially when re-excited after a previous termination, the sperm enters the pre-ejaculate. This explains the possibility of pregnancy from pre-semen.
That is, initially, by itself, the lubricant does not contain sperm, but it can meet them in the urinary tract on the way to the head of the penis and become a kind of vehicle for them. The risk of subsequent fertilization, although very low, does exist.
The task of precum
There are situations when male pre-seminal fluid is insignificant or completely absent. This indicates, if not a deviation in the functioning of the reproductive system, then at least a negative scenario.
Pre-cum is not a mistake or an accident, it has certain functions and tasks that ultimately increase the chances of pregnancy for the couple and make ejaculation painless, easy and comfortable.
The first function is to neutralize the acidic environment in the urinary tract. It is hostile to sperm and can destroy most of them. As we know, urine often moves through the channels, which increases the level of acidity.
Basically, pre-ejaculation cleans and normalizes the sperm passage, making it safe and conducive to sperm survival. Therefore, the more liquid, the better, because its task does not end with the urinary tract, then pre-ejaculate enters the vagina, where it does the same thing - neutralizes the acidic environment to facilitate sperm entering the cervix. .
Pre-cum is often referred to as a lubricant, and this statement is very accurate. The fact is that the pre-seminal fluid acts as a platform for the sperm, thanks to which it slides without hindrance, which accelerates the process of ejaculation and jet force.
Thus, sperm are more likely to reach their goal and fertilization of the egg will occur. That is, this is the goal that nature has set for the entire male reproductive system.
What is dangerous about the fluid released during stimulation in men?
If both partners are healthy and planning a pregnancy, then pre-semen has nothing but benefits. However, in some cases, pre-ejaculation can be a big problem. There are only two such cases.
First, studies have shown that pre-seminal fluid contains high levels of immunodeficiency virus in men with HIV. Many people think that if there is no wound on the penis, and there is no end in it, then it is impossible to get infected. However, this is not the case; enough lubricant for the virus to enter the vagina and lead to infection.
Second, pre-ejaculate may contain sperm, therefore interrupted sexual intercourse is not a protection against unwanted pregnancy. A man can ejaculate anywhere, even inside a curtain, but pre-semen may be enough for fertilization to occur.
