Types of male discharge
Discharge from the male genital organs during sex can be divided into those that precede ejaculation. These are called pre-ejaculate and seminal fluid or semen. There may also be pathological discharge. And they can talk about a systemic disease or be of an infectious nature.
Sex can be safe and fun
Conception and pregnancy are possible when a woman's egg is fertilized by male sperm. And this means that pregnancy can occur as a result of a man’s sperm entering a woman’s internal genital organs. Lubricant or pre-seminal fluid does not contain sperm, therefore, before ejaculation occurs, you can have sex without using contraceptive methods.
What is sperm?
Sperm is released from the male genital organs during orgasm and resembles the consistency of liquid jelly of a grayish-white color. In healthy men, it contains more than 40 million sperm. On average, male sexual intercourse lasts from 3 to 15 minutes. The release of sperm takes about 10 - 15 seconds and it completes sexual intercourse.
The sperm enters the egg
Pregnancy - general information
Even at school, during anatomy lessons, we are told that pregnancy occurs as a result of the fusion of male and female reproductive cells - sperm and egg, respectively. From the same school anatomy course, we also know that a woman can become pregnant only on certain days of the menstrual cycle.
In other words, when planning a pregnancy, you need to calculate these very specific days based on the menstrual cycle calendar (it is recommended for every woman to keep it).
True, there are some nuances here too. For example, we should not forget that absolute accuracy in calculating ovulation and fertile days is possible only when the woman’s body is completely healthy and works like a clock.
This is not always possible, because colds and infectious diseases, stress, bad habits - all this affects the course of the cycle, so conception may not occur on supposed fertile days. And vice versa, with the slightest failure, pregnancy can occur when, according to the calendar, it is least expected. How to avoid unwanted pregnancy?
A little about contraception methods
Today there are many methods of contraception, as they say, for every taste and color. A condom is considered the most reliable and reliable, but not all couples want to resort to “product number two,” and this is not always due to beliefs like “rubber dulls pleasure.”
Some people have an allergic reaction to latex, which makes using a condom impossible for them. For such cases, as well as for those who adhere to the belief “having sex with a condom is like smelling a rose in a gas mask,” a variety of contraceptives have been created: the IUD, which requires periodic replacement, hormonal contraceptive drugs that a woman must take strictly at the same time and period strictly prescribed by the doctor, vaginal suppositories, gels and sprays with spermicidal action, caps, the so-called “female condoms”...
In fairness, it is worth remembering folk remedies, the most common and effective of which is lemon juice. But most often, couples who neglect contraceptives resort to interrupting sexual intercourse.
A few words about the act interrupted
Back in the days when contraception was much more difficult than in our century, interrupting sexual intercourse was considered one of the ways to avoid unwanted pregnancy. However, one cannot speak about its reliability with absolute certainty. Firstly, inexperienced young men, who do not yet fully know the behavior of their body during sexual intercourse, may simply not have time to pull the penis out of the vagina before ejaculation, so some part of the sperm will certainly end up in the vagina.
Secondly, in addition to sperm, another fluid containing sperm is also released from a man’s penis. We'll talk about it below.
Is it possible for a girl to get pregnant from a guy’s lubricant secreted with or without penetration?
If sex partners practice unprotected sex without a condom or contraceptives, then girls can avoid pregnancy by using the method of coitus interruptus. To put it another way, with this method, sexual intercourse is interrupted before the man ejaculates. Thus, sperm does not enter the vagina and pregnancy does not occur.
A girl must choose her method of contraception
When using interrupted coitus, there is also a possibility of conception. This happens because men interrupt the act after ejaculation. Some of them do not have time, some are too keen on sex, and some simply incorrectly determine the time of sperm release. As a result, girls end up with unwanted pregnancies.
When pregnancy is undesirable
Can pregnancy occur without penetration? Only if the girl has a man’s sperm on her external genitalia or underwear. The chances of getting pregnant in this case are very small, but they exist.
Prevention measures
In general, preventive measures come down to the correct attitude towards sexual intimacy and largely depend on the girl’s upbringing.

General recommendations for meeting the following conditions:
- Good sexual savvy, somewhat educated.
- Use only proven methods of contraception of sufficient effectiveness.
- The contraceptive should be selected by a qualified gynecologist, and not by the caveman method - the poking method.
- In the unfortunate circumstances of an unwanted pregnancy, it is necessary to ensure the safety and legality of abortion procedures, which is entirely related to the qualifications and professional skills of the doctor.
- Receiving high-quality and professional advice, recommendations, as well as medical care after an abortion.
What is the likelihood of getting pregnant from male lubricant?
In practice, pregnancy from male lubricant or from lubricant that is released before ejaculation occurs is zero. And only if there are sperm left in the man’s urethra from a previous ejaculation, there is such a risk, although minimal. Therefore, when having repeated sexual intercourse, it is better to use a condom. Some men forget or deliberately do not use condoms. In this case, the girl herself should take care of her health into her own hands.
Rescue from pregnancy is the work of the woman herself
Other risks
Why do gynecologists recommend protection? Is it really just because of pregnancy? No, researchers from the USA and Europe have proven a fact: in the pre-semen of a man diagnosed with HIV, 100% of cases contain the human immunodeficiency virus. If the lubricant enters a woman’s body, she will become ill with a dangerous disease – the immunodeficiency virus. Another fact: there is no cure for HIV, there is no evidence of recovery for people with this diagnosis. Immune problems carry a risk of developing AIDS. In this case, it is no longer possible to help people.
How effective is contraception using coitus interruptus?
After receiving specialist advice, some women take birth control pills or agree to a hormonal injection. Many girls prefer effective and safe barrier contraceptives, which not only protect against pregnancy, but also protect against various sexually transmitted infections.
Gynecologists say: protection through interrupted sexual intercourse is not classified as an effective method of contraception. Moreover, constant tension (so as not to miss the moment when to finish!) leads to serious consequences:
- disorder of sexual function in a man (premature ejaculation, loss of interest in the opposite sex, etc.);
- development of intractable psychological impotence;
- lack of pleasure from sexual life in a woman who is forced to control her partner.
To maintain a full sexual life and prevent unwanted pregnancy, you should abandon this method of birth control. A qualified gynecologist will tell you about existing contraceptives and help you choose the most effective means.
An important secret is the secretion of the prostate gland. The secretion consists of almost 93% water, and the rest is minerals, enzymes, epithelium, 1/3 of its volume is contained in the ejaculate. Scientists debate the exact functions of this fluid, but what is certain is that it helps sperm move towards the egg. The secret helps them live. Not in the body of a woman, at most, the living creatures live for 1-2 hours, depending on the conditions (Pay attention to the lifespan).
The Cooper's glands, or bulbourethral glands, secrete Cooper's fluid. The gland is small, but its role is difficult to underestimate. The secretion is released during arousal. There are two glands in the male body. The liquid has enzymes, mucus and an alkaline reaction. In chemistry lessons I talked about neutralization reactions. A man could have urine left in his urethra, which is acidic and harmful to sperm. The alkali just neutralizes this acidic reaction. Nature has complex processes.
The Littre glands have a similar function - moisturizing the urethra (for improved passage of sperm), maintaining an alkaline reaction.
The glands secrete less smeg, and the discharge has a white tint. The secretion is evenly distributed over the head of the penis. Attention, it can acquire both yellow-green and yellow color. Depends on the time. It is popularly called lubricant. Smegma performs more of a mechanical function. Reduces friction of the head of the penis against the woman’s vagina. This relieves pain for both partners.
Sperm contains sperm, and there are countless of them (1 ml contains 17 million), it may contain vitamins and minerals, but the most important function is to get to the egg. The task is difficult for many (this must be remembered) survivors.
Scientific research results
It can be said that until 2011, the claim that pre-ejaculate contained sperm was speculative. It was based on the assumption that any discharge from the urethra, including ejaculate, may contain sperm.
In 2011, scientists conducted a study that finally dispelled all doubts. During the study, pre-ejaculatory samples were taken from 27 volunteers: after preliminary masturbation, the examined man touched the Petri dish with his penis. The pre-ejaculate was then examined under a microscope.
In 11 out of 27 cases (43%) the pre-ejaculate contained sperm. In 10 cases (37%) they were so mobile that if the pre-ejaculate containing them entered the woman's vagina, she would most likely become pregnant.
It is interesting that in some men, even after several similar samples, no sperm were found in the pre-ejaculate, while in others they were found in every sample. Thus, scientists have suggested that for some men, interrupted coitus is a relatively reliable method of contraception, since their pre-ejaculate does not contain sperm. However, without a special examination, it is impossible to find out whether your partner will become pregnant from your pre-ejaculate during interrupted intercourse.
Now that you know that you can get pregnant from precum, you should also be aware of other situations where conception can occur.
