Pre cum (I hate that word) Preejaculate is for lubrication so he begins producing it as soon as he becomes aroused. It may seep out, just a couple of drops at a time, before he enters you or it can seep out during intercourse. It doesn't matter how close he is to ejaculating. If he's erect, he can have it.
And preejaculate DOES contain sperm; very little, but enough to impregnante you. All it takes is one strong swimmer.
