What is Precum?

[TeenGuy512]

If "cum" is a slang word - then Precum has to be too, so technically what is precum?

"pre-cum" is your body's natural way of lubricating yourself. it's meant to make the penis easier to slide in to the vagina to reproduce. just another evolutionary ability developed to help humans reproduce.

The "Puberty FAQ and Information - THIS MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!" announcement (colored in green) answers this (I wrote it)

Precum – this is a natural lubricant produced by Cowper’s glands and comes out of the penis when a guy’s horny, usually during or before masturbation. It acts as a natural lube and cleans out the urethra (the penis hole)

Precum isn't the same as clear cum. Precum is NOT underdeveloped cum - so if you ejaculate and it's not white, it's not precum. Precum comes out when you're horny or during masturbation - not at climax!

This is a very common question. I try to include all frequent questions asked in the Puberty FAQ & Information announcement. Before someone makes a thread, they should look at that announcement first. I worked pretty hard on it! :P
