Researching precum facts will help people understand what it is and why it's there. Whether looking for information about precum and pregnancy or the reason behind the early pre-ejaculation, men and women need to inquire about the subject to get correct and factual answers.

1. Leak is normal - Men will release precum and there's no reason to be concerned, it's normal. This is a natural occurrence to help lubricate during sexual intercourse. Precum is secreted during arousal or foreplay. Where the actual orgasm release is milky-white in color, precum is a clear fluid.
2. “Pre” means before - The prefix 'pre' means to come before and it maintains the meaning when talking about precum facts. The fluid released prior to a man's orgasm is precum, meaning this is the secretion before his actual full-blown orgasm. Most precum can be measured by the drop and up to a few millimeters. This is the early start to his orgasm.
3. Release site - Precum develops in the Cowper's gland of the anatomy, a very unknown gland in the body. Men's bodies have two of these glands, each the size of a pea at the base of the penis. Precum clears the way for the actual sperm to make way during an orgasm.
4. Creating babies - Many women are concerned that precum can result in a pregnancy, but researchers have found that precum contains such a minimal amount of sperm that pregnancies are very limited. But contraceptive is highly recommended to prevent pregnancy or sexual transmitted diseases. Just remember that any transfer of fluid can cause pregnancy.

 Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate(precum), or breast milk.
