A member asked:

Does precum happen before or after ejaculation ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Before: The prefix "pre" means "before". However, if a person has 2 ejaculations, the "precum" for the first ejaculation is before the 2 ejaculations, and the "precum" for the second ejaculation is after the first ejaculation and before the second ejaculation.
