These problems are particularly relevant to those who use the oldest method of contraception-interrupting sexual intercourse.
During intercourse, all attention is focused on orgasm-ejaculation. However, despite its importance, the harbinger of male orgasm-pre-ejaculation-is usually still in the shadows.
Where and when does precum appear
During erection, the fluid before ejaculation or spermatogenesis is released from the head of the penis. Cooper’s glands are responsible for production-two peas, 3-8 mm in diameter, lurking in the thickness of the perineal muscles at the base of the penis.
The secret of appearance is the response to a partner's caress or masturbation. Moreover, its number increases with excitement. Unlike whitish semen, pre-ejaculation is transparent and colorless, with a consistency similar to mucus.
Why do you need to ejaculate in advance
Prenatal fluid is a pioneer, clearing the way for "interstellar racing. "Uric acid remains in the urethra (urethra) where sperm flushes, which is destructive to male germ cells. The acidic environment of the vagina is also a serious threat.
Pre-ejaculation can neutralize acidity, thereby creating a safe environment for sperm.
In addition, the transparent mucus can act as a natural lubricant for the glans of the penis, providing a gliding effect. By mixing with sperm, it can continue to protect male reproductive cells throughout the process and help them move towards their goals.
How much precum should be produced
The total volume depends on the man’s personal characteristics and age. Someone dripped a few drops of mucus during sexual intercourse, while someone got a teaspoon of more than 5ml.
Sometimes men will complain that when they are awakened, their excess fluid will stain their clothes. How to do it? If there is no painful feeling-nothing, because we are talking about variants of the norm.
The doctor recommends storing the tissue and treating the excess precum as healthy and temporary. With age, their number will decrease.
In medicine, there are some cases where 5-α-reductase inhibitors inhibit pre-ejaculation. Usually, these drugs are used to treat enlarged prostate and baldness. However, treatment also has side effects: depression, decreased libido and decreased self-esteem.
It is possible to get pregnant from precum
The scientific debate on this issue continues. Some studies have shown that there are no live sperm in prenatal semen. Others-In some men, the sex cells still enter before ejaculation in sufficient quantities to conceive.
Even if a man has a good response and does not have a drop of sperm penetrated into a woman's body, it is possible to become pregnant due to sexual intercourse.
However, unintended pregnancy is not the only reason for "fear" of premature birth and condom use. Prenatal fluid can accurately transmit sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, chlamydia, hepatitis B and gonorrhea-no doubt.
