A member asked:

I was wondering how come there's so much debate about precum containing sperm. i was wondering if there is any sperm in it if can impregnate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Answer is yes.: Precum does contain sperm. Not in as high a concentration as the ejaculate, but they're in there. And yes, precum can introduce sperm that can find their way to an egg.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
