Men can produce not only seminal fluid during sex, but also a special lubricant that facilitates the gliding of the penis during friction. When men wake up, this substance is called pre-ejaculation.
Description
During arousal, men secrete a colorless, clear mucus called pre-ejaculate. It occurs together with an erection, but can also appear after it. If men do not have fat during awakening, this is a sign of some pathologies related to the reproductive system. The release of this fluid prevents damage to the male genital organ during vaginal penetration.
In medicine, adiposity in men during awakening is called temporary. This substance is produced not only before sexual intercourse, but also during light sexual arousal, during rubbing, and during masturbation. The appearance of lubrication in men during awakening indicates a desire to have an intimate relationship with a partner.
Composition of pre-sperm
Pre-ejaculation is a mucous discharge that contains various enzymes and alkali. Since the environment of the female vagina is acidic and rejects male sperm, the lubricant neutralizes the aggressiveness of such female microflora.
There is a myth that male genital secretions can make a woman pregnant. The fact is that there is no sperm in the lubricant, but it can be there if sexual intercourse takes place without contraception, a few hours after masturbation or after previous sexual intercourse. To prevent unwanted pregnancy, experts recommend using condoms or other contraceptive methods.
Basic functions
Lube is secreted in men during arousal, it is not only a transparent lubricant, but also a protective reaction of the mucous membrane. Such secretions, if the representative of the fairer sex secretes a small amount of such a substance, facilitate the penetration and friction of the male genital organ in the female vagina. Sebum secretion in men during awakening has several very important functions, which are as follows:
- Neutralization of increased acidity of vaginal microflora.
- Facilitates the penetration of the penis, helps the movement of sperm along the cervix.
- Increased chance of conception.
- Removal of the contents of the urethra.
Sperm die very quickly in an acidic environment. Thanks to the alkaline pre-sperm, they enter the reproductive system without damage and can fertilize the egg. Therefore, male lubricant has the ability to preserve sperm viability.
In addition, thanks to this male discharge from the urethra, the chance of conception increases, because during the slide, the seminal fluid penetrates into the uterus faster. Natural lubricant helps to prevent the use of artificial substitutes, and also makes it easier for the penis to enter the vagina if the woman's secretion is low.
What does normal look like?
Thus, the issue of whether a man secretes lubricant during arousal was solved. But what does it look like? Externally, this liquid looks like a simple transparent mucus. An amount of 1 to 5 ml is released during sexual intercourse. This volume is enough to make sexual intercourse comfortable for partners. This seed contains smegma, an oily substance that collects in the folds of the foreskin. If a man is faithful to only one sexual partner or uses a condom during intercourse, then there are no color changes or additional inclusions in the fluid. Only light whitish color is possible.
When to see a doctor?
Many women still don't know if men get fat when they're excited. Some people just didn't care. But it is a fact that this fluid is extremely important during sexual intercourse.
If any suspicious symptoms appear, a man should immediately consult a doctor. Thanks to this, it will be possible to identify the disease at an early stage of its development, and therefore a quick recovery will follow. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the composition and shade of your seed in advance. Additional symptoms that help establish the diagnosis include:
- Increased body temperature, fever, heat.
- A feeling of pain or discomfort in the region of the organs located in the pelvis.
- Skin redness, swelling and rashes.
- Bloody purulent impurities in male excrement.
- Burning and itching in the urethra.
- Hyperemia in the penile area.
- Erectile dysfunction, urinary retention.
Similar pathological processes in the male body during awakening and at rest are observed in case of infection with sexually transmitted diseases. If several or even one symptom is detected, you should immediately consult a doctor. Most likely, the man will need immediate antibacterial therapy.
Preemption is not allowed
If a man becomes very oily when excited, this can be called a feature of his body. But in some cases, representatives of the stronger sex do not feel the release of fluid during sexual intercourse, because it begins to be released only after the penis enters the vagina.
In 5% of cases, the lack of lubrication is a sign of the presence of some kind of inflammatory disease. In such a situation, it is better to consult a specialist about this problem. You should also pay attention to the fact that in elderly people, discharge from the urethra may be completely absent.
Consistency and color change
It was said above that if men secrete a lot of lubricant during arousal, this is the norm, but if it is excessive, this should alert you. However, a change in color and consistency is considered a reason to consult a doctor. Normally, the color of seminal fluid is clear, slightly whitish. You should also pay attention to the density of these secretions. Seminal fluid should not be thick and should flow freely from the urethra during sexual arousal. Reasons to contact a specialist include:
- The formation of an unpleasant fishy smell that contains the aroma of mold.
- Impurities of pus and blood.
- Changes in the structure of seminal fluid, formation of cheesy sediment, thickening.
- Changing the shade.
Red, gray, orange, green and other shades are a sign of an infectious or inflammatory process in the body. This is how the male body reacts to any viral or bacterial invasion. In some cases, colored discharge is a sign of the natural rehabilitation process. For example, after prostate surgery, antibiotic therapy or any other surgical interventions.
Clear viscous discharge in some cases indicates infection with infectious diseases, for example, streptococcus, staphylococcus and E. coli. However, the appearance of bacteria will be observed not only in preseminal fluid, but also in other secretions of the male organ.
Doctors' opinion
The gray-green color of the liquid indicates the presence of infection in the male body. However, this symptom is not always a sign of sexually transmitted diseases, ARVI or flu can manifest in this way. In parallel with this, the body temperature of the man rises.
White thick discharge indicates the development of a fungal disease, most often candidiasis. This disease is transmitted to a man from an infected sexual partner. When this pathogen is detected, it is necessary to treat both the woman and the man.
If the liquid is red, it indicates the development of a urological disease, for example, cystitis, urethritis, but it can also be a sign of chronic prostatitis and a number of other diseases not related to the urinary system.
Can you get pregnant from male lubricant?
The question "Is it possible to get pregnant from a man's lubricant" worries even experienced women. This is especially true for partners dealing with withdrawal. Such fears are not unfounded. Indeed, male lubricant (pre-ejaculate) also contains a small amount of sperm.
In the article, we will find out whether it is possible to get pregnant from lubricant and male secretion. Also, what is the risk of contraception with interrupted intercourse and rubbing without penetration. What contraceptive methods will help prevent such problems?
What is male lube?
Natural lubrication helps prevent discomfort from intercourse. A woman's cervical mucus secretes a clear "secret" when excited. In men, this function is performed by the bulbourethral glands. Pre-ejaculation may also contain a small amount of sperm (after emission or masturbation). Functions of male lubricant: moistening of the mucous membrane of the penis before insertion into the vagina; neutralizing the effect of urine residues in the urethra (the acidic environment destroys sperm and prevents conception). So, the answer to the dilemma "can you get pregnant from lubrication, discharge or mucus" depends on the type of contraception.
Types of male ejaculation
A man's natural discharge is a variety of colored mucus or fluid that comes out of the urethra. Can be:
- urine;
- smegma;
- prostate secretion;
- ejaculation (semen);
- urethrorrhea (premature ejaculation);
- wet sleep;
- prostatorrhea.
Different numbers of sperm replace pre-ejaculation and ejaculation respectively. A small amount of seminal fluid from a previous ejaculation is sometimes retained in the lubricant.
Can a girl get pregnant from a guy's lube?
A common mistake is that pregnancy occurs only when sperm enters the vagina. Pre-seminal secretions contain a small number of sperm, and one is enough during ovulation. This is an extra chance for couples who have tried unsuccessfully to have children. The chances are especially high at the beginning of the period, before menstruation.
Even a small percentage of the possibility of getting pregnant from lubricant should be taken into account when choosing a birth control method. Can a girl get pregnant from a man's lubricant - yes, but the chances are small. Moreover, some guys have no sperm in their pre-cum at all. However, this feature of the body is confirmed only by special laboratory studies.
By penetration
Girls who use coitus interruptus as a method of contraception have a chance of getting pregnant from a boy's lubricant. Even with an experienced and attentive partner, male lubricant entering the vagina increases the risk of unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sex.
Without penetration through clothing?
The second question that worries girls is whether it is possible to get pregnant from lubricant without penetration. A similar risk exists, especially during rubbing. If there is some "oil" left on a man's fingers after masturbation, it may contain live sperm. But this is impossible, because the sperm remaining before ejaculation is often not viable.
Can a virgin get pregnant?
It is quite possible, and we are not talking about a virgin birth. This situation is due to two conditions:
- individual characteristics of the structure of the hymen;
- sperm vitality and speed;
- Does a girl ovulate at this time?
Even naked sex can lead to an unexpected pregnancy. This happens if male lubricant gets on the girl's genitals. Sperm can enter the vagina and conception will occur. The risk is higher if the hymen is particularly elastic or damaged (trauma, equestrian sports). Sometimes this is enough to unite the egg and sperm. Medical statistics prove that it is not uncommon for a woman to give birth with an intact hymen.
Statistics and research data
The probability of men getting pregnant from lubricant is confirmed by medical research. According to statistics, the risk of unexpected pregnancy with interrupted sex is up to 75%. In comparison, protection with a condom reduces this probability to 96%. In other words, a woman became pregnant in every fifth couple who used abortion. The same results are achieved during rubbing when the male lubricant enters the genitals. The following factors are important:
- How regular is the menstrual cycle?
- does the woman control her calendar (when are the most dangerous days).
Medical statistics even report cases where conception without lubrication occurs a day after menstruation.
The main causes of pregnancy and predisposing factors
2 main conditions are necessary for pregnancy to occur:
- ovulation of a woman;
- motile, living human sperm.
This is what reduces the likelihood of conception from male lubricant. Sperm flow is desired for the most successful result. Pre-ejaculation has several of these and they are quite slow. If a man has several sexual acts at a time when he does not shower, the probability of pregnancy increases.
How to reduce the chances of getting pregnant from your partner's preseminal fluid to zero
The risk of unwanted pregnancy from lubricant is minimized if:
- do not engage in coitus interruptus;
- a man takes a shower before his pampering;
- mandatory hygiene procedures are performed between repeated sexual acts;
- both partners take a shower, the man should pay special attention to the penis;
- then the man empties his bladder so that the acidic environment neutralizes the seminal fluid remaining in the canal;
- If you have several movements after the first, you should only have sex with a condom.
Using reliable forms of contraception is important, not just on fertile days.
Types of contraception: choosing the best option
The comparison table will help you choose the most reliable protection method:
| Method of protection | Confidence level, % |
| A condom | Up to 96 |
| Male sterilization | 99. 9 |
| Intrauterine hormonal methods | Until 97 |
| Oral contraceptives | Up to 98 |
| Hormone injections | Until 97 |
| Diaphragm | Up to 95 |
| Intrauterine device | Up to 95 |
| Basal temperature measurement | Up to 70 |
| Calendar method | Up to 70 |
| Interruption of sexual intercourse | Up to 60 |
| Showering after sex | until the 15th |
The couple chooses an individually suitable method. It is important to consider the health status and habits of your partners.
Reviews and opinions of doctors

Why does a man, boy, boy, child have discharge and itching from the penis?
Discharge, itching and redness from the urethra can indicate various pathological conditions and diseases. During consultations, we often hear questions: "Why does my penis drip so much? Why does blood, urine, sperm come out of the penis? Why do men have discharge and severe itching from the penis? Let's take a closer look at tactics and strategies in such a situation.
A man or a boy sometimes faces a paradoxical situation. When he wakes up in the morning, he notices that some liquid is secreted from the genitals - white, transparent, or mucous, purulent, yellow, green, yellow-green. And sometimes blood, mucus, pus and sperm are released. And it itches a lot. Itching is a very unpleasant symptom. And everything itches on the head of the penis, on the penis itself, in the area of the urethra, in the urethra, at the end of the penis. And there is noticeable redness or perhaps severe irritation and sometimes severe redness, inflammation, an inflammatory reaction. Terrible symptoms, anxiety. In any case, we do not recommend leaving everything to chance.
Sometimes there are situations in life when the discharge decreases after a few days of the problem. But the problem is that the acute form of the disease can become subacute or chronic. The man calms down. And after some time, serious complications develop that last longer and are more difficult to treat. What complications? Impotence, male infertility, organ curvature, deterioration of sperm count.
Physiological libidinal urethra
Physiological libidinal urethra. A difficult term. Flu is associated with the occurrence of awakening in a man and occurs due to discharge from the urethral glands. These lubricant secretions contain sperm, so when the penis is inserted into the vagina, a woman can easily conceive a boy or a girl. But the problem is that clear mucous discharge (clear liquid) appears more often with pathology of the genitourinary system.
Ejaculation, semen
Ejaculation. Ejaculation consists of the release of sperm, prostatic fluid, and seminal vesicles. Semen can be released during wet dreams, orgasm, intercourse and masturbation. Prostate glands, Littre's glands, Cooper's glands, seminal vesicles, sperm contents can fall into the head of the penis. Wet sleep is the release of ejaculation in the absence of regular sexual activity. It is usually found in young adolescents between 14-18 years of age and in men during long-term abstinence.
Smegma
Smegma is a physiological secretion from the glands located on the foreskin and head of the genital organ. The appearance may be white and cheesy. Smegma should be removed by showering twice a day. In recent years, many scientific studies have been conducted to show that smegma entering a woman's cervical region can cause uterine cancer, which is very bad. Penile cancer can develop in men without glans hygiene.
Pathological discharge in men and boys
Pathological discharge is diverse and often resembles physiological discharge in appearance, and requires an examination by a doctor in order to formulate an examination and treatment plan. So, what causes pathological discharge from the penis? More often, these are inflammatory, inflammatory reactions that can be caused by pathogens of sexually transmitted infections and opportunistic microflora. But unfortunately, the cause of discharge can be tumors, oncology, oncological diseases, cancer. We must not forget that discharge can appear after operations on the genitourinary system, damage to the genitals and pelvic organs.
Classification of discharge from the penis: types, forms
Let's look at the classification of urethral discharge in men:
Discharge color:
- white, whitish,
- yellow, yellowish
- green, greenish,
- red, bloody, reddish, bloody, bloody
- yellow-green, green-yellow
- colorless.
Transparency:
- transparent,
- cloudy,
- transparent.
Sequence:
- liquid,
- medium consistency,
- thick, viscous.
The discharge volume can vary - from a small drop to several milliliters. According to the volume of allocations:
- abundant, large
- medium,
- little, small
- drop.
View time:
- morning, morning, towards morning,
- daytime, daytime,
- evenings evenings
- night, night
- while urinating
- during the intervals between urination.
Appearance frequency:
- periodic,
- constant,
- associated with hypothermia,
- related to sex
- related to the use of alcoholic beverages.
- related to the consumption of spicy foods and spices.
Connection with the time of year:
- spring,
- bow,
- autumn,
- winter.
In different men, the discharge in each specific case may depend to a great extent on immunity, virulence of the pathogen, severity or chronicity of the process, type of pathogen, severity of the inflammatory reaction, accompanying diseases (for example, diabetes complicates the disease). process). Very often, different types of discharge can be observed with the same disease, moreover, there can be similar discharge with different diseases. Only accurate diagnostics can determine the type of pathogen (PCR - DNA diagnostics, RNA-NASBA test for RNA).
Sexually transmitted infections, sexually transmitted diseases, sexually transmitted infections
What are these infections? Trichomoniasis (trichomoniasis), chlamydia, candidiasis (ventritis, candidal balanitis, postitis, balanopostitis), gonorrhea, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, genital herpes (HSV1, HSV2), gardnerellosis (Gardnerella vaginalis), papillomatal virus infections, genital viral infections, genital infections. homosexuals, genital molluscum contagiosum, lice pubis, giardiasis, amebiasis, HIV infection (AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), hepatitis B, C, D. Dozens of different secretions can be observed and acute prostatitis, urethritis, balanitis, postitis, balanoposthitis can develop. can
Therefore, many sexually transmitted infections can be asymptomatic, be sure to use a condom during sex. Remember that the absence of discharge after intercourse does not mean that you are not infected with anything.
Mucous discharge from the penis is often observed with chlamydia, mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis. More often they are viscous and transparent. The content of leukocytes (lc) in such a liquid is correspondingly small.
In the acute period, with chlamydia, trichomoniasis, ureaplasmosis, white, whitish transparent mucopurulent discharge of medium consistency can be observed. Such discharge contains many leukocytes, urethral force and inflammatory exudate. If the discharge is not washed away, adhesions or accumulations will form at the head of the penis.
Purulent discharge with a yellow, yellow-green, green-yellow color, very viscous, viscous and thick consistency is often observed with gonorrhea. Such fluid contains a large number of leukocytes, inflammatory exudate, urethral mucus and urethral epithelium. Associated symptoms include itching, pain, and pain during urination.
The result
In these cases, you should not self-medicate and allow the disease to progress. Sexually transmitted diseases cause various pathologies and can also cause rectal dysfunction, urinary problems and a weakened immune system.
