If you’ve hooked up with a penis-owner or are a penis-owner yourself , you may have noticed a clear, odorless, sticky substance coming out of the penis during foreplay or sex. This is pre-ejaculate or precum, and it’s totally normal. In fact, it can increase the pleasure of intercourse by providing lubrication.
What exactly is precum? Can you get pregnant from it? Read on to find out everything you need to know about precum and what you can do about it. ‍
Precum is also known as Cowper’s fluid because it’s made in the Cowper gland. The Cowper gland is part of the male reproductive system and it’s located just behind the prostate gland.
Precum is produced when a person is aroused. It’s not like having an orgasm and releasing ejaculate fluid, though. People with penises don’t usually know it’s on their penis because no physical sensation accompanies its release. The fluid itself serves a few functions before and during the reproductive process. First, it neutralizes the acidity of any urine that might be left in the urethra. Sperm doesn’t like acidic environments. Since sperm and urine both travel through the urethra, neutralizing acid from urine will help sperm survive. Next, precum also helps neutralize the acidity of the vagina, again, to help sperm survive. As mentioned above, precum also provides some lubrication to get the whole reproductive process in motion. ‍
People with penises can’t control their production of precum. When people have sex without using a barrier method, it’s possible for some pre-ejaculate to be released without either partner noticing. Partners who use the withdrawal or “pulling out” method should know that there is a chance some sperm may be present in precum. Some people with penises don’t produce any noticeable precum, while others can produce up to 5 mL. ( It’s not possible to know how much sperm is in your precum unless you keep a microscope by your bed and have some training in microbiology.)
Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a ton of research on exactly how much sperm is in the ejaculatory fluid. However, the research that exists indicates that while it’s possible that there might be no sperm in some people’s precum, there is sperm capable of fertilizing an egg in other people’s precum. Since there’s no way to tell if you or your partner might have sperm in pre-ejaculate, it’s best to use another birth control option besides or in addition to withdrawal if you or your partner don’t want to become pregnant.
Withdrawal has a 22% failure rate. That means that for every 100 couples who use withdrawal as primary birth control for one year, 22 will experience a pregnancy. IUDs, hormonal birth control, sterilization, and condoms are more effective at preventing pregnancy than withdrawal. However, if withdrawal is the only option available, it does reduce the risk of pregnancy. ‍
Dr. Daniel Atkinson , Clinical Lead for Treated.com explains, “Withdrawal requires a lot of restraint, an in-depth knowledge of your own body and immense trust for both of your bodies” He explains that one in every five couples using this method get pregnant, and it has the highest rate of pregnancy amongst any other contraceptive method. Not to mention, the pull-out method does not protect against STIs. ‍
There’s no research to verify that it’s possible to reduce the amount of sperm in precum. However, because it’s possible that some sperm in precum is leftover from previous ejaculations, theoretically, you may be able to flush it out by urinating both before and after ejaculation. It’s fine to do this as a precaution, but it’s not a reliable or studied method of preventing pregnancy. ‍
Birth control and barriers are well-studied effective methods for preventing pregnancy when used correctly. The birth control implant, IUDs, and permanent sterilization (for both people with penises and people with uteruses) are all methods that are more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Other forms of hormonal birth control range in effectiveness from 91-94% in preventing pregnancy. However, these methods when perfectly used (ie: not missing a pill, getting your shot on time, etc.) increases effectiveness to nearly 99%.
External (often referred to as male) condoms and internal (often referred to as female) condoms are around 82% effective at preventing pregnancy and are even more effective when used correctly and consistently. The options can be quite overwhelming, but we have a breakdown of all the information you need to choose the best protection method for you and your partner . Preventing pregnancy is also possible by avoiding penetrative vaginal sex and exploring partnered pleasure in other ways, for example oral and manual sex.
There is some evidence that precum is capable of transmitting some STIs. Some studies have found infectious agents in precum, including HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. The best way to prevent STIs is to use a condom. ‍
At the end of the day, if you’re having sex with a partner who is able to produce precum, just know that even though it’s totally natural and normal (and can make sex feel great), having sex without a barrier method does come with risks of pregnancy and STI transmission. To reduce your risk as much as possible, you can combine a hormonal method of birth control with a barrier method.

My problem is that I have a lot of pre-come while having sex. My partner complains she doesn't like it wet, when having oral sex .
This has been causing some strain in our relationship. I always have lots of pre-come whenever I am sexually excited.
Even when my penis is erect at night my pre-come flows out, making me feel a bit embarrassed to get up in front of my partner in the morning.
The pre-come also flows when I am opening my bowels, although only in small amounts. Is this is a serious problem? Is there any way I can control my pre-come?
It is normal to produce 'pre-come' during the period before you reach a climax – or simply when you are sexually excited.
Some guys produce a lot, while some produce very little, and some none at all – and you are clearly in the first group.
You may be surprised to learn that some women would actually be turned on by this – partly because they would regard it as a ‘tribute'.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to alter your own physiology.. Since your partner has an aversion to 'pre-come', she might be happier if you wore a condom during oral sex.

Hello.

First, congratulations on your upcoming marriage.

You are worrying about nothing; however, you need some accurate information about sexuality so that you can enjoy a long and happy sex life. There are lots of people who will give you misinformation, so pay attention and learn.

First, about "precum":

Your penis isn’t leaking. It’s behaving exactly as your body is telling it to do. When post-pubescent (adult) men become sexually aroused, a gland called the Cowper’s Gland, secretes a milky fluid, also known as "pre-come." Some men produce large amounts of this fluid, while others produce very little. Everyone is different. This fluid clears the urethra of uric acid prior to ejaculation. Without this fluid, many of the sperm carried in semen would be killed or damaged by the acid contained in urine. So when you get turned on, that’s what happens: Cowper’s Gland fluid comes out the end of your penis. There's no reason to worry.

Here's some information about lasting longer:

During their early self-pleasuring experiments, many men learn a very quick orgasm pattern in order to avoid detection—like in the bathroom (“You’ve been in there for hours! What are you doing?”) So if you learned to come quickly when being sexual with yourself, that can also set up a lifelong pattern. Learning to come quickly with a partner can also set up this pattern. Guilt and anxiety about sex may also create a situation where some men just want to get it over with quickly so they won’t have to deal with any of those feelings. And, of course, if you’re focused on “performing,” rather than just enjoying yourself, your penis can become incredibly stubborn and uncooperative.

Once you learn to control your orgasm, realize that each man has an individual orgasmic pattern unique to him. A lot of this anxiety about “premature” ejaculation is based on paranoia, and the idea that it's somehow ideal to have erections last way longer than they tend to realistically for most men, most of the time. Sure, sometimes, a man might last 15 minutes, 30 minutes, even an hour, but 75% of all males have an orgasm within 2 minutes of beginning penis-vagina (p-v) sex. Are you thinking that if you last longer, somehow your partner will have an orgasm during p-v sex? The fact is that most women DON’T orgasm during p-v sex. It’s a much more effective way for men to orgasm than women, so please don’t attempt to reach some kind of “orgasmic goal” because you think it will ultimately please her.

That said, here are some techniques for lasting longer:

First, slow down during self-pleasuring and unlearn that old pattern of quick orgasm. You state that as soon as you touch yourself, you orgasm. You need to tune into what's going on in your head. What are you thinking about just before you touch yourself? Are you relaxed and turned on, or are you feeling anxious, guilty, conflicted? This can set up a pattern of quick orgasm.

Try just thinking something sexual and letting your penis get erect, and then think about something non-sexual and let your penis relax. Do this many, many times in order to get the sense of control.

Then try teasing yourself by touching yourself just once, then backing off and relaxing, and then beginning again. This will give you a sense of control as well as teach you to recognize your own point of no return (when you know you're about to have an orgasm, no matter what). Another thing to try is when you feel yourself getting close to orgasm, relax, breathe deeply, and cease movement. Some men also find they last longer if they have an orgasm on their own awhile before beginning partner sex. This tends to take the edge off, if you will.

Once you feel in control of your orgasm, you can also examine whether you have any feelings of discomfort with being sexual—either with yourself or with a partner. These feelings of discomfort can create extreme conflict and cause you to feel the need to get it over with quickly. If you look at sex as something to finish quickly—get it up, get it in, get it off—you’ll need to let go of that old mentality. And naturally, if there are any relationship conflicts or you’re angry or feeling resentful about your partner, these can also contribute to wanting to get it over with. In addition, these feelings can also inhibit erections with a partner. I highly recommend the book, "The New Male Sexuality," by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., widely available on line, both used and in paperback. This book has helped thousands of men to better understand their sexuality. Best of luck to you. Dr. J

Dude you are suffering from Premature Ejaculation. And yes it affects sex life because you wont be able to satisfy your partner.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.

Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.

Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.

STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.

Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
