Question I am 26 years old and do not have pre cum. I have masturbated and had sex many, many, times and I don't have any. I have read lots of info on the importance of it in regards to fertilization and how it helps to lubricate the vagina. My wife said that with her other two partners they had it and it helped to get her lubricated and ready for sex. I'm dry until I have an orgasm and my orgasm and ejaculate is very normal. I'm circumcised. I talked with my dad and my brother about it and they both have it. Please help with this. I feel like I'm missing out on something special. Also, since it comes from the cowperns gland... does this mean I am missing mine.
Answer Pre cum is no big deal. It matters little with regards to fertility whether or not you actually have any. The vagina normally has plenty of lubrication by itself without the need for any additional contributions. Many men lack a precum. Most likely the production from Cowper's gland is just not sufficient to be expressed and is just mixed with the semen. I wouldn't worry about it.
