Is it possible for a man to release without knowing?Guys can leak a bit of sperm out of the penis before ejaculation. This is called pre-ejaculate ("pre-cum"). So even if a guy pulls out before he ejaculates, a girl can still become pregnant. Unlike during an orgasm, a guy can't tell exactly when the pre-ejaculate is released.
Can you feel sperm release?Yes, if your partner has a strong and intense ejaculation during unprotected sex, you can feel when sperm enters as the ejaculation shoots inside you. If your partner doesn't ejaculate much, you cannot feel it.
How many minutes does it take a man to release sperm?During sexual intercourse, most men ejaculate between 5-10 minutes and research has shown the average time to ejaculate after penetration is 5 1/2 minutes. Usually, ejaculation less than 1 to 1 1/2 minutes after penetration is regarded as premature ejaculation.
Can you release sperm without touching?You can ejaculate without touching your penis. Adults and teen girls can have wet dreams, too. Although girls can't ejaculate, they can have an orgasm during a dream. Girls don't have such dreams as often as boys, though.
