Sperm v.s. Precum

---

Can some body explain to me wats the difference from sperm and precum and maybe even show me a photo of each of them

Precum is just your bodies lubricant. It's a clear liquid and contains no sperm (but sperm can get mixed in with it of course). When you come sperm only make up a small % of the discharge, most of it is just liquid. Sperm gives it the white look though.

As was said, precum is a lubricant that comes from the Cowpers gland.When a guy ejaculates, that is is a mixture composed of sperm (from the testicles), seminal fluid(from the seminal vesicle) and prostatic fluid(from the prostate).

precum is thin and clearish, Cum which is sperm and protate fluids, mixed with other fluids. Cum is thicker and a deeper white or yellowish color

Actually, I find my precum is very thick and sticky, almost like mucus, yet very slippery at the same time (makes a great lube!). Regular cum is sticky too, but it is a totally different consistency. Regular cum liquifies over about 20-30 minutes after ejaculation, meaning it changes from thick and sticky to thin and watery in that time. Precum does not change consistency.

As for pictures of each, I could post them, but not sure if they are allowed. They're not sexual, just a picture of the two bodily fluids. But I'll leave it up to the mods to tell me if it is OK before hand. If not, Google images is your friend :wink:

I don't see any problem with pictures of bodily fluids if that's all they are.

OK, here they are then:

First, this is a picture of regular semen:

Next, this is a picture of precum in a container. Notice how it is completely clear:

Next is a picture of transferring my precum from one container to another - here you can see how thick and sticky it is. It tends to cling to itself and can create long strings, like mucus.

This last picture shows how sticky precum really is. I'm holding the container about 3 feet above the lower container, and the precum string is still holding together! It probably could have held together more than 3 feet, but I couldn't hold the camera and still keep everything in view.

Thanks guys it helped

Focus thanks for photos. You are the first that I've seen in sex forum that can give clear examples of precum. Thanks for sharing them. Precum is indeed clear and very viscous for some. Mine is clear but it's not as viscous as yours. I can stretch a strand of precum 5 or 6 inches and then it breaks. Yours is exceptional.

You're welcome - glad I could help. I know there's been a lot of confusion around here as to what the difference is between regular semen and precum, so I figured pictures would "clear" things up. :wink:

ok, part of me ( the science geek bit) finds those pics very indteresting, the other part ( the girly girl priss who i dont like very much and who is but a small part of my personality) says ewwbut most of me just chuckles and thinks thats a weird thing 2 take a pic of.lol

i also think ud have had fun makeing the samples 2 take pics of.lol

You're lucky.. I don't get any..... :O( ** Pouts and stopms his foot**

how do you get precum anyway? whenever i jerk off i get none- is it like an arousal thing- do you have to be like relly turned on?

btw, that's quite a load you've got in those pics, you must've been saving that nut!

How much pre-cum guys make varies enormously. Some make no noticeable amount, or only half a drop after a long time aroused, like me - others have it almost gushing out, and anything in between.

this mornin i was masturbating and i got to a certain point where i thought i couldnt keep jackin off. so i tried like 5 times and finally i got myself through and i almost fell downi could feel somethin comin down my urethra and i stood back up and there was clear stuff on my penis head is this normal it kinda burned so i was really confused if this is somethin weird or thats wat pre cummin is and i didnt pre cum as much as that pic shows

I don't know how old you are, but it could have been pre-sum or maybe it was your first ejaculation even though it was a small amount. It's burning because you're just overdoing it with teh mastubation.

how do you know when precum is over and the sperm are coming.? i could feel it coming as i get the feeling of it starting. I have stopped it before by pulling out the second i start feeling it. This time since its been a long time for me i couldnt stop it , i pulled out i was exploding everywhere , but i am wondering if i may have been shooting smaller amounts before i got out? It was dark and i just dont know for sure whe was in prime time too for getting pregnanat

@ab Welcome to A2A. What's done is done, but pulling out is not an acceptable method of birth control. Many babies have been conceived that way. For pregnancy to occur, there must be a meeting of your sperm and her egg. From what you wrote, I would guess that your sperm was present and was deposited inside her. The only real question is whether or not she was ovulating, which is the release of the egg, and that usually occurs around the middle of her cycle. If she is on a 28 day cycle, for example, that would be about 14 days after her last period. Keep in mind that sperm cells, properly protected in her body can stay viable for several days.

Notice that I have said "about" several times. There is no way to pin this down to an exact day because there are variables that have to be considered.

You don't indicate how old each of you are but, unless you are prepared for a pregnancy, you might consider getting her to look at Plan B. This is an emergency contraception that must be take within 72 hours after unprotected sex, and the sooner the better.

Going forward, either she should be regularly taking birch control or you should be using a condom, or both.

I don't mean to appear to be coming down hard on you, but you could be in some serious trouble, and only time will tell.
