Some sexual couples are happy with unplanned pregnancies. Even women, who are more interested in marriage and serious relationships, wonder if sperm are released during sex. This is especially true for young people who do not yet want to have children. Lubrication for sexual intercourse is necessary for the process to be pleasant. And it actually has sperm, but is it possible to get pregnant from it. Let's think.
Male release: classification
To understand the risk of pregnancy from male lubricants, you need to know its classification:
Lubricant is a clear, viscous liquid that appears at the time of sexual arousal. Sexual lubricants contain a minimum amount of sperm, which means that the risk of fertilization is minimal.
Smegma is whiteness during intercourse, which may also appear before the process. They have an unpleasant odor, because smegma is a mixture of secretions produced by sebaceous glands, moisture and dead epithelium. This whiteness accumulates on the glands during intercourse, and is often mixed with female lubrication. This secretion after sexual intercourse is harmless. Whiteness should only be a concern if it is a sign of illness.
Smegma, although originally natural, in the absence of proper hygiene, can cause an unpleasant odor and some complications. The sebaceous glands of the head and foreskin are responsible for its production. This is, in fact, fat, which, without hygiene, accumulates and begins to stink. For pathogenic microflora, this is a fertile environment, so microbes and fungi can trigger the inflammatory process.
The peak activity of the fat glands of the head of the penis and foreskin is the age of men from 16 to 25 years. It is at this age that sexual activity is also at its peak. The older a man is, the less smegma he produces. You can prevent the whiteness coating on the penis by washing it twice a day. With heavy discharge, it is recommended to use antibacterial gels for intimate hygiene. Soap is better not to take, as it can dry out the delicate skin of the head of the penis.
When should you pay attention to lubrication?
Whether the discharge is clear or white, there is a risk of pregnancy during intercourse, which should be a reason to choose a safer method of contraception than interrupted sex.
Often, the release during stimuli is not associated with pathology, but there are times when you need to pay attention to them:
- when the color of the discharge is not natural, such as yellowish, greenish or gray;
- semen or urine has blood spots;
- discharge having purulent formation or clots;
- they emit an unpleasant odor, most often caused by an infection in the genitourinary system;
- erections cause pain or discomfort.
All of the above may indicate activity in the body of pathological processes. If itching, swelling or hyperemia accompanies it, then you should immediately visit a doctor. Medications alone can only worsen the condition, and cause serious complications. Only a full diagnosis will indicate the essence of the problem, after which proper therapy will be prescribed.
Causes of mucus formation
Lubrication for sexual intercourse is a necessary phenomenon. The couple’s arousal turns into a prelude, in which caresses, intimate kisses inflame them more, and as a result, mucus is formed. If it does not exist, then for both sex partners it will be a torment with pain and discomfort. Therefore, nature has taken care of the pleasure to be complete and painless, penis lubrication and female lubrication contribute to this. Provision during intercourse, especially if they are numerous, causes the girls to panic, and suddenly this is the release of sperm to orgasm. Lubrication during intercourse will be colorless, but to know if it will cause pregnancy, you need to know what it is and where it came from.
What is a lubricant?
It is not difficult to understand what is released before sperm, this is a man’s natural lubricant, which appears when sexual stimulation occurs. It is called mucus, pre-semen or pre-ejaculation. This fluid comes out of the urethra. The norm is transparency and stickiness. The bulbourethral gland is responsible for the formation of lubricant, leaving it, it passes through the urethra and appears as a droplet on the glans of the penis. This process is very active during foreplay or watching interesting videos. In the early stages of sexual intercourse and shortly before orgasm, ejaculation can stand out especially in abundance. But all this is natural and should not disturb the couple.
How much pre-ejaculation is released?
The amount of mucus secreted by each man is individual. Excessive whiteness during intercourse shows how aroused a man is. And the higher this condition, the more pre-ejaculation is released. For someone it is one drop, and for someone it is quite a lot-about 5-6 ml. Sometimes the discharge during intercourse does not appear at all. Why is there little lubrication? It directly depends on the man's body and his state of health.
Pre-ejaculation may contain some semen. When thinking about whether sperm is released during intercourse, the answer is yes. For some people, even this small amount may be enough to get pregnant. Excessive vaginal discharge during intercourse is a reason to refuse protection with interrupted intercourse. The precession itself in its original composition has no sperm, but when it passes through the ducts, the rest can get into the mucus.
Important! Excessive discharge during intercourse, including vaginal discharge, is a reason to visit a hospital to undergo a differential diagnosis that will exclude prostorrhea - the ingress of juice from the prostate during urination or defecation.
Praseed function
Lubrication during sexual intercourse is important, because the composition specifically disinfects and removes acid after urination. This is the body's natural preparation for seed production, which will pass through the provided channels without problems. In the female vagina, the microflora is acidic to prevent various diseases. But the acidic environment also harms the sperm, making it weak and ineffective. And pre-ejaculation reduces acidity, and when the sperm is released, the woman’s body is ready to receive it, ensuring conception.
Can a girl get pregnant from lubricants?
Girls are very worried about whether sperm are released during intercourse. Although there is little in the lubricant, there is a risk of getting pregnant. Repeated studies show that sperm release during intercourse is minimal. Spermatozoa are moist and their ability to fertilize eggs is questionable, especially if cervical mucus produced by the cervix is present.
Analysis has shown that in most men, the lubricant does not contain sperm at all. When accumulations of spermatozoa are found in the ducts, they are analyzed and recognized as inefficient. Therefore, sex with such a man is completely safe, but it is impossible to know for sure that he does not have sperm in the lubricant or that they are inactive. Therefore, doctors do not recommend practicing unprotected sex to avoid unplanned pregnancies.
To protect yourself from fertilization, you can use some precautions:
- use any contraceptive from the barrier to the calendar;
- both partners should monitor intimate hygiene, washing before and after intercourse;
- a man after the first sexual intercourse must empty the bladder to remove the remnants of the seed, and for a woman this is a way of making the environment in the vagina back acidic;
- after intercourse, use a weak acid solution for washing or rinsing, using lemon juice or boric acid.
Risk
Is semen released before orgasm? Often this happens if sexual intercourse is repeated. The urethra may contain active sperm that has not yet come out. This is what causes unplanned pregnancies. The risk of getting pregnant in this case is 30%. There are ways to reduce such selection activity. There are many spermatozoa in semen, and although there is little in the lubricant, they can also be active. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce their activity with acids contained in urine. You only need to urinate after the first sexual intercourse. This will reduce the risk of conception to 7-10%.
Destroy the myth
When men ejaculate during unprotected intercourse, the risk of getting pregnant is extremely high. This leads to the fact that most young couples believe in the concept of one sperm. Indeed, only one sperm penetrates the egg, leading to conception. But fertilization is the collective work of large numbers of spermatozoa, which die and disappear on the way to the egg. Even the most persistent need the flow of his friends, otherwise he will not achieve his goal. It is also important for him to meet in this way mature eggs, which reach maturity only once a month.
To get pregnant is not easy, and for this to happen, certain factors must match:
- The eggs must be fully mature and ready to conceive.
- Active sperm need to find the egg and fertilize it quickly. Often this happens when a girl is ovulating.
- A man's lubricant must have a large number of active spermatozoa. After all, often normal men have either little or nothing at all. Even for certain men, the amount of sperm in the lubricant can change on a daily basis and depends on a variety of reasons.
Even vaginal discharge after intercourse, if it is not semen, will contain a small amount of sperm. Therefore, it is better to keep your sex safe.
Adding up
Answering the main question of all girls, can they get pregnant from male lubricants, you can safely answer "yes". But this opportunity is still minimal. For this reason, sexual partners who are not yet ready to become parents need to be covered with condoms or birth control pills. Barrier contraception in this case is the only option for safe pleasure.
For those for whom such a choice is unacceptable, you can choose to prevent pregnancy through interruptus intercourse in line with the calendar method. According to him, couples are guided by the infertile days that appear in every woman's menstrual cycle. This method is only suitable for girls who know that their cycles are orderly and precise. This is the only way to keep track of safe days and enjoy unprotected sex. This method is used by most couples, but there are some risks in it, as failure can occur in any organism.
