Comfortable sex is impossible without lubrication, and this statement doesn't just apply to women. If you are making love without a condom, you may notice that your partner's penis releases a small amount of clear liquid during arousal. This is pre-ejaculate, it is also Cooper's pre-semen liquid or just male lube. And the question immediately arises: is it possible to get pregnant from it?
What is men's lubricant?
In the body of a woman and a man there are special glands called Cooper's. They are located in the genital area (at the entrance to the vagina or urethra). The function of this organ is as follows: at the moment of arousal, the gland begins to produce a natural secret. This makes unprotected sex more comfortable for both participants.
Is it possible to get pregnant from a man's natural lubrication?
The original purpose of sexual intercourse is procreation (only dolphins, some species of apes and humans have sex for pleasure). Therefore, the pre-ejaculate contains substances that neutralize uric acid and make pregnancy possible while maintaining the vitality of the spermatozoa.
Since most women and even men have only a distant idea of male lubricant, it is not surprising that this liquid immediately acquired a number of myths and misconceptions. Below we will try to debunk the most popular ones.
There are no sperm in Cooper's liquid, at least not alive. Scientists in the world of medicine have already been puzzled by the question of whether there are motile sperm in the pre-seminal fluid and whether it is possible for a girl to become pregnant only from the release of lubricant from the boy's penis. The results were interesting: the pre-ejaculate itself does not contain sperm. However, if you've had sex recently and are going "for the second run, " your chances of getting pregnant from pre-seminal fluid increase dramatically. This is due to a delay in the urethra of the remains of sperm and its release during repeated sexual intercourse.
Pre-semen pregnancy will not occur if you practice PPA. And let's go back to the previous point. If you had sex a day after the previous hour, there may be no reason to worry. But if the previous intercourse took place on the same day, the pre-ejaculate will contain viable sperm. What is the probability of getting pregnant due to the pre-seminal fluid in this case? Studies say that the chances of fertilization fluctuate in the region of 20-30%, which is enough.
By the way, coitus interruptus is an extremely unreliable method of preventing unwanted pregnancy. Best of all, this method won't protect you from sexually transmitted diseases when you have sex with a new partner. If you've been out for a short time, be sure to use a condom. It will reduce your chances of getting pregnant by around 98% and prevent pathogens from entering your body from your partner or vice versa.
Now you know if men produce similar lubrication to women and you have an idea of what the chances of getting pregnant will be due to pre-seminal fluid.
