Many girls, especially those who are inexperienced in sex, are interested in the question of what kind of fluid is released when men are aroused. During foreplay you can observe how a kind of sticky, transparent and colorless lubricant forms in small quantities on the glans. But what it is, whether it is normal and what the purpose of the mucus is, you need to understand.
What is Pre-Cum?
Pre-ejaculate is a secretion produced in Cooper's glands during a man's arousal. It is an inevitable and integral part of sexual intercourse. It exits through the urinary canal and lubricates it for easier and faster ejaculation.
It contains a number of chemicals. Sometimes, especially during renewed arousal after a previous abortion, sperm enter the pre-ejaculate. This explains the possibility of pregnancy through preseminal fluid.
This means that the lubricant itself initially does not contain sperm, but can meet them in the urinary canal on the way to the glans and become a kind of vehicle for them. The risk of later fertilization is extremely low, but still exists.
Tasks of Precum
There are situations when a man's preseminal fluid is insignificant or completely absent. This indicates, if not deviations in the functioning of the reproductive system, then at least a negative scenario.
Before squirting is not a mistake or a coincidence, it has specific functions and tasks that ultimately increase the chance of pregnancy for a partner and make ejaculation painless, easy and pleasant.
The first function is to neutralize the acidic environment in the urinary canal. It is hostile to sperm and can destroy most of them. As we know, urine often travels through the canal, which increases acidity.
Essentially, pre-ejaculate cleanses and normalizes the sperm ducts, making them safe and conducive to sperm survival. The more liquid, the better, because its tasks do not end with the urinary canal, but the pre-ejaculate enters the vagina, where it does the same thing - neutralizes the acidic environment to make it easier for sperm to penetrate the cervix.
Pre-cum is often referred to as lube and this statement is very accurate. The fact is that the preseminal fluid acts as a rail for the sperm, which, thanks to it, slide freely, which accelerates the ejection process and the power of the jet.
This makes it more likely that the sperm will reach their destination and the egg will be fertilized. This is the goal that nature has set for the entire male reproductive system.
What is dangerous about the fluid that is released in men when aroused?
If both partners are healthy and planning a pregnancy, the pre-seminal fluid has only advantages. However, in some cases, pre-ejaculation can become a major problem. There are only two such cases.
First, studies have shown that the preseminal fluid in men with HIV contains high levels of immunodeficiency viruses. Many people think that if the penis has no wounds and there is no end inside, it is impossible to become infected. However, this is not the case; Lubricant is enough for the virus to enter the vagina and cause an infection.
Secondly, the pre-ejaculate may contain sperm, which is why interrupted sexual intercourse does not protect against unwanted pregnancy. A man can end up anywhere, even in the curtain, but the preseminal fluid may be sufficient for fertilization.
