Pre-cum is the clear pre-ejaculation fluid that is secreted from the penis when it is aroused, similar to the way the vagina secretes natural lubricants.
Where does pre-cum come from?
Premature ejaculation is produced by the pea-sized Cooper gland (bulbar gland), located just below the prostate.
Is ejaculation the same as semen?
No, many people confuse pre-cum and sperm (ejaculate), and that's understandable. Both fluids are secreted from the penis but have different purposes and benefits.
Precum acts like a pre-penetration lubricant, but its main purpose is to lubricate the urethra to help sperm travel from the testicles to the vagina as safely as possible. It also helps clean bacteria in urine and balance pH levels.
Sperm is a fluid that can be white, gray, or even yellowish in color and appears during orgasm. It transports sperm from the penis to the vagina for fertilization.
How much pre-ejaculate does the body produce?
For most penis owners, the amount of pre-ejaculation fluid ranges from a teaspoon or less.
Some penis owners may experience excessive pre-cum ejaculation, which can be a bit heavy and uncomfortable. Although excess fluid before ejaculation is not a health hazard, you may feel awkward and embarrassed when you suddenly wet your underwear when you see an attractive girl walking on you. city.

How to produce more precum?
Chances are your body or penis doesn't produce pre-ejaculate or only produces a small amount.

Every body is built differently.
Penis owners should try prostate stimulation and pelvic floor muscle training. This will teach you how to control premature ejaculation for orgasm, while also improving pre-ejaculation production.
Can ejaculation cause pregnancy?
The chances are slim, but yes, you can still get pregnant! This is why interrupted intercourse, in which a man withdraws his penis when he feels orgasm approaching, is not an ideal way to prevent pregnancy.
Can you give or receive an STI before ejaculation?
Pre-ejaculate is a sexual fluid that can carry infectious bacteria or viruses from Cooper's glands, so you can get infections and transmit sexually transmitted diseases.
STIs can be transmitted through all forms of sexual contact, including sex that does not lead to pregnancy, such as oral or anal sex. With penetrative vaginal sex, the risk of a sexually transmitted infection is much higher than the chance of you getting pregnant.
So always use a condom, even if you only intend to have oral sex.
