What is the excretion called that comes out of ones penis before you ejaculate, and what is its purpose? -

When my girlfriend and I make out for prolonged periods of time, I get an erection. That s fine and all, but every time we make out there is a point when a juice, fluid, excretion, or whatever you want to call it comes out. It is not semen, I know, I just want to know what it is an why it happens. Medical background would be sweet if someone could give it to me. Thanks.

It is called pre-seminal fluid or pre-come. And yes, it contains sperm, so it s not OK to put it inside her. More than a few unexpected pregnancies have occurred that way. It s a lubricant and can help lubricate the penis for sex although a lot of men don t produce that much of it. Some guys seem to produce a lot of it. The lubrication benefit is more for the inside of the guy s plumbing as the penis prepares itself for blast off. It coats the urethra so the ejaculation will not be impeded. Many people find the taste of the pre-seminal fluid to be good. It won t hurt you (or her) if you taste it. It s mostly natural sugars. Some couples like to use it during foreplay; scoop it up and lubricate her nipples with it or his nipples. Or lick it up. My wife does not enjoy the taste of semen, but she likes the pre-seminal fluid. I have tasted it, and I agree with her. But I have also tasted some that I didn t like. Men vary in consistency and taste. The more turned on you are, the more pre-seminal fluid you ll notice.

It is called Cowper s fluid it is produced by the Cowper s glands also called the bulbourethral glands, two small glands at the base of the penis. The fluid is also called Pre-ejaculate or by the common name pre-come. Some guys produce large amounts, some produce none, some only a drop or two. Its purpose has been speculated as a pre-intercourse lubrication and to neutralize acid from urine previous to ejaculation. It flushes the urethra and prepares the plumbing for ejaculation. It also commonly carries sperms out as well. That is why prevention should be applied well before insertion. It is not known why some men produce it and some don t. Someone has said; quot;All ball players dribble so use rubbersquot;. In actuality it is thought that most men produce some but, there is often not enough to notice. However, The more stimulation before ejaculation the more produced for most men
