Natural secrets that do not cause anxiety
Physiological processes in the male body lead to the appearance of harmless secretions. The system activity factors include:

When a man experiences sensual stimulation, a transparent discharge appears on the head of the genital organ. They also occur in the morning, after a long sleep. The amount of mucus is different for each person, and depends on the level of pleasure.
Attention!
Morning discharge may contain sperm, so this should be taken into account when planning a family. If it enters the female reproductive organs, pregnancy is possible.
This type of discharge ensures the unobstructed passage of sperm through the urethra (urethra). In addition, the secret saves male cells from dying in the acidic environment of the female vagina.
In the process of increased pressure in the abdomen, which occurs when it is tense, colorless mucus is found on the penis. It does not smell, but sometimes there are gray veins in it. The consistency is viscous due to seminal elements and prostate secretions. Sometimes the colorless discharge appears during a severe coughing fit.
Thanks to the work of the sebaceous glands, smegma is secreted in the male body. It consists of secretions produced by the sebaceous glands on the foreskin and head of the penis. If hygiene rules are not followed, microbes multiply there, as indicated by an unpleasant smell.
Male secretions released after sex are called sperm. It contains a large amount of sperm and is considered the natural end of sexual intercourse. In teenagers, such a discharge occurs during discharge at night, which is a normal state of the body.
