Pre-Ejaculate: Purpose of the Lust Droplet (Male)

What is the pleasure drop?

The drop of desire (man) is also called pre-ejaculate. It is a secretion from the bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands). These are small (about the size of a pea) mucous glands located on both sides of the urethra under the prostate, embedded in the transverse perineal muscle (Musculus transversus perinei profundus). In the pelvic region, the glands open into the urethra.

Can you get pregnant from the desire drop?

The pleasure drop does not come from the testicles and therefore cannot actually contain sperm. However, it is still possible to get pregnant through it. For example, if there are still sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, they can be “flushed out” together with the pleasure drop. In addition, sperm can also enter the urethra from the epididymis and vas deferens during sexual arousal.

Infection with the HI virus is hardly possible during oral sex through the pre-ejaculate, as long as ejaculate does not enter the mouth. This is because the mucous membrane in the mouth is quite “robust” and viruses can hardly penetrate here. In addition, the saliva dilutes the pre-ejaculate.

What is the function of the pleasure drop?

Where is the drop of pleasure located?

The pre-ejaculate is found at the tip of the glans penis. It may come out of the tip of the penis as a small viscous-mucous drop. Sometimes, however, a larger amount of secretion flows out.

What problems can the drop of desire cause?

The pre-ejaculate can lead to HIV infection during vaginal or anal intercourse if the virus has spread to the bulbourethral glands through infection via the urethra.
