Apparantly precum is produced by every man, and in different ammount depending on the man and arousal and such... ive never produced any, is there something wrong with me, or is it more common than i thought?

The quantity produced varies a lot with each masturbation episode, and yes, the amount is predicated on how turned on we become each time. That you do not produce any might also be a factor of how hydrated you are. Do you drink lots of water, juices, or other liquids during the day? If not, why not, and if not, start if for no other reason than good health.

The pre-ejaculate fluid is produced by the Cowper's Glands, also known as Bulbourethral galnd. These are two small glands at the base of the penis, downstream from prostate. During sexual arousal these glands produce what you are calling the pre-cum. For a century it was believed that the purpose of the pre-ejaculate was to neutralize the acidity of both the man's uretnra and the woman's vagina allowing a healthier environment for sperm. The quantity of this fluid produced, however, is insufficient to accomplish this. It is now thought that the fluid is actually a lubricant allowing the semen glob to travel more easily out the urethra. It does also clean out the urethra of urine, old semen and sperm that may be there from earlier ejaculations.
This fluid, itself, contains no sperm But in the male reproductive tract there is always sperm present, especially during sexual arousal. The same care should be taken to avoid the pre-ejaculate entering the vagina as semen itself. In other words, condom on before progressing very far in foreplay in proximity to your partner.
As with any gland in the body, some men produce more and some less of this fluid. You can be quite certain that you are producing it, only in smaller amounts than become noticeable. I have seen men who drip a bit and been with men who show no sign of it. One way to find out is with a willing partner. The pre-ejaculate does have a characteristic flavor. Most of us have never noticed, both because we are not looking for it or because the semen comes shortly thereafter and that is all that is tasted. Ask you partner to perform oral promising to warn well before you are about to ejaculate (but after you feel that you are getting close). She can then stop and firmly press the flat her thumb on the bottom, base your urethra and rub upwards to the tip. If she has tasted or seen even a tiny drop, it will be the Cowper's fluid. That is fairly definitive. If she tastes nothing, that only indicates that you have not produced enough for it to have left your urethra. The first "event" of the evening will produce the largest amount.
In the meantime, not to worry. Accept that you are producing some, just not much.

I've never really stopped to think about it, but it's kind of a non-event. I actually produce a fair amount i guess, to the point of almost "embarrassing". By embarrassing I mean more back in the school days when people would tease about a little wet spot on a guy's pants.
But now at 36 even, I have to be a bit "careful" to not get excited during the day. It's enough that i'll get a quarter sized wet spot on jeans, which is just annoying if anything depending on your surroundings. So yeah if I had my druthers I'd go with little to none instead of this.

To be honest; I've never seen precum on my ex-lover either. Seems logical to me that with whatever rubbing motion it got distributed way too fast to even be noticed. But it was indiscriminately there, because I could taste it. He would often produce those tiny amounts throughout a make-out session, even long before actual ejaculation. As far as I know; he didn't feel this happening at all. I say this because the first time I tasted it, I backed off, leaving him confused why I had stopped and surprised I could already taste something. So seems to me you're not missing out on anything, Call :)

As described above it is light in colour and weight . In fact it is a mix of urine and semen is it expereinced millisenconds before ejeculation its purpose is to clean the urethra of urine before semen is released and yes I do produce although not a lot of it it just may be couple of drops noticeable at the top of the glans. .

For godsakes, Kievan, read the previous posts in a thread. It may contain a bit of semen or urine but it is not "a mix of urine and semen." It is not produced only "milliseconds before ejaculation." Some men produce quite a bit without ever reaching ejaculation.

As a man becomes sufficiently aroused, precum--a clear slippery liquid--oozes out of the penis and pretty much stays on the Meatus or tip of the glans unless and until it is redistributed as would be the case during foreplay. Guys never feel it oozing and only notice it from looking or feeling it.
The quantity amounts to only several drops yet is sufficient to spot clothing if it happens while fully clothed and it soaks thru, otherwise it probably will just moisten his underwear a bit.
Because it is slippery, it works well as an initial lubricant, although is not around long enough or in sufficient quantity to be of any long term use.

Simple, and good, question with some really obtuse responses. The Cowper's fluid is not of sufficient quantity to lubricate intercourse; It is believed to be a lubricant for the the urethra to facilitate the passage of semen which is, initially, in a rather viscous glob.
It does not lubricate the penis nor the vagina. It only lubricates the interior of the urethra to help the semen get on with its precious sperm. The Cowper's fluid has then done its job and disappears into irrelevancy.

My best friend is obsessed with STD testing. She just came back and announed that pre-cum has the highest load of HIV. Any thoughts. Was she mis-informed. I found conflicting info on the web.

You will find contradicting info on the internet. Big news! So, let us cut to the chase: "pre-cum" (Cowper's Fluid) travels to the outside (or her inside) through the male urethra. If he is HIV positive, there will be virus in the urethra. There is a relatively small amount of Cowper's, compared to semen, so the concentration will be high. It is also sweeping the path and, so, will carry any "accumulation" of virus present leaving a smaller amount of virus to travel with the relatively high volume of semen. Ergo, "the highest load of HIV." If it is the second "round" of the session, this may not be so.
