What is the clear fluid that comes out of a guy's penis before he cums?

It's called pre-cum or pre-ejaculatory fluid and it comes from the Cowper's gland inside a guy's reproductive system. It's released when a guy gets an erection. Pre-cum cleans out the inside of the urethra, which is the tube that carries semen and urine out of the penis.

The fluid makes the urethra less acidic and gives the sperm a better shot at surviving the trip from the guy's testicles to the girl's fallopian tubes. Pre-cum fluid does not usually contain sperm.

However, if there are live sperm inside a guy's urethra (because he has ejaculated recently), the pre-cum can "pick up" the leftover sperm on its way through the urethra and out of the penis. If a guy pees after he ejaculates, that would kill leftover sperm.

So, say a guy has sex and cums at 9 p.m. He doesn't go to the bathroom after he has sex. At 10 p.m., he gets another erection and pre-cum fluid is released. That fluid can have live sperm in it. Is it enough sperm to get a girl pregnant? Possible, because it only takes one sperm, but not probable.

But pre-cum can carry sexually transmitted diseases, so a guy should put on a condom as soon as he gets an erection.

Just to clarify, The Cowper's glands, aka, the bulbourethral
glands secrete what is commonly known as pre-cum for the
purpose of lubricating the urethra prior to ejaculation. The
urethra is extremely acidic due to it also functioning as
your urinary tract, thus creating a hazardous path for sperm
to flow through. Although this fluid is produced in small
quantities, it is argued that pre-cum may contain enough
spermatozoa to impregnate a female.

RE: ...so, what if there's no pre-cum?

Different guys produce different amounts of pre-cum when
they aroused. With that said, some guys produce such a
small amount that it is hardly noticeable, especially since
pre-cum is a clear fluid. The little bit that is produced
can be absorbed by underwear, skin, your hand, or anything
that is down there. As long as you are ejaculating, it
would appear everything is OK, but you can always speak with
your health care provider to give yourself peace of mind.

...so, what if there's no pre-cum?

When I masturbate my penis never emits pre-cum -- at least
nothing that I've ever noticed. I reach orgasm (and
ejaculate) without any pre-cum ever coming out. Is this
normal? Should I tell my doctor? Some background info: I'm
(only) 16, and I began ejaculating around two years ago --
never once have I had pre-cum.

IKD what it is

Guys begin to ejaculate semen (the white stuff) at some
point in puberty. It is different for all guys, so while you
may be 15 and not seeing cum yet, your friend who is 14 may
already be ejaculating. It's ok! You will ejaculate semen
soon. Sorry, you'll just have to wait until your body
develops that capacity.

It is different for different guys and for each time a guy
has sex. On average, guys ejaculate (cum) in 5 minutes from
the time they begin sexual intercourse. However, many young
guys cum in 1-3 minutes, and older men cum in 8-10 minutes.
It all depends. That's why we let people know that the
"pulling out" method is NOT reliable or effective as birth
control. It is very difficult for guys to guage when they
are going to cum and may accidently not pull out in time.

I wonder.........
