Can You Impregnate A Woman With Your Pre-Ejaculate Or Precum?

A lot of women have probably found themselves asking whether precum or pre-ejaculate canbget them pregnant. This question is one of great concern to people having unprotectex sex but who are not prepared to start a family yet. And the answer is a complicated one.

While ejaculate and precum, also known as pre-ejaculate, are both fluids that exit a man’s penis somewhere in the throes of passion, they are not the same. These fluids differ in source, function, and, most importantly, composition.

Ejaculate is a composition of fluid from the prostate, seminal vesicles, and ampullae that contains sperm. Ejaculated fluid is thick in composition, high in volume, and usually white, gray, or yellow in colour.

Precum, however, is a thinner concoction that looks like mucous. It is secreted by multiple glands throughout the reproductive system at the first signs of arousal.

The mission of precum is to wash any and all urine out of a mans urethra while providing some lubrication during sex.

The big question now is does precum contain sperm? And can you get pregnant from precum? It depends.

According to one Human Fertility study of 27 men, 11 of them had sperm in their pre-ejaculate. For the study, all 27 men were asked to masturbate five times into a cup. The men either had sperm in all or none of their pre-ejaculate samples.

Technically, pre-ejaculate is not supposed to contain sperm, but it may pick some up as it moves down the urethra because the partitioning of these fluids is physiologically hard to do.

Basically, some guys may have sperm in their pre-ejaculate and others may not. While there’s definitely less sperm in precum than there is in ejaculate, you however shouldn’t take such gamble as you are still capable of impregnating and getting pregnant. that’s still not a gamble you should take.

To prevent any unwanted pregnancy, make sure your partner (or you, if you’re into female condoms) puts on a condom before there is any penis-to-vagina contact. That includes both full penetration and just-the-tip action. The truth is no sperm dies just by hitting the air.
