Getting wet during sex is a natural part of having sex. This happens because of sexual arousal, which causes your body to produce white discharge to help with lubrication. The amount of white discharge varies from girl to girl, as well as depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle.
It’s a natural lubricant
Getting wet during sex is a natural sexual reflex, but you can also use lubricants to enhance the experience. Lubricants can be oil-based or water-based, but some people prefer a lube that is made from all-natural ingredients. These types of lubricants are often safer and less expensive than store-bought lubes. They can be used daily as a vaginal moisturizer and before sex. Some are even available in a cream formula that is marketed as being similar to a woman’s natural anal secretions.
During orgasm, the Bartholin’s and Skene’s glands produce white discharge to reduce friction and irritation from penetrative sex. This discharge is healthy and normal, but the amount that you get can vary from day to day or during a woman’s cycle. This fluid can be thick and milky or clear, depending on the woman’s body.
If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural lubricant, try coconut oil or aloe vera. These are gentle on the skin and long-lasting. You can find them online or in specialty stores that carry high-quality organic products. Some are vegan, too, which may appeal to you if you’re concerned about the chemicals found in many lubricants. You can also make your own DIY lube from items that you might already have in the kitchen, such as a bottle of peanut oil or Vitamin E oil.
It’s a form of orgasm
The big “O” – orgasm – is an intense, pleasurable experience that happens when you reach peak sexual arousal. It can be a result of sex with a partner or masturbation. Both men and women enjoy orgasms, and it doesn’t matter what type of sex you have. Even something as mundane as good music or a great movie can produce an orgasm. In fact, people often use the word “orgasm” to describe other pleasurable experiences, like a really great movie or a really good kiss.
The most common type of orgasm for women is a cream or milky discharge, which occurs during penetration. It is thought to come from the Skene glands, which are a clump of small structures located in the vulva that drain into the urethra. These glands are akin to the male prostate, but have not yet been fully understood.
Scientists believe that these involuntary fluid emissions are not simply a form of lubrication. Instead, they may function as a bypass button to the woman’s natural cervical filter against sperm and pathogens. It also appears that orgasms occur more frequently in ovulating women. The ovulatory cycle is a major factor in how and when a woman reaches orgasm. It can take a lot of foreplay and intimacy to get to the point of orgasm, so it’s important to focus on the pleasure process as much as the outcome.
It’s a natural bodily function
While some people may find this uncomfortable, it is completely normal and healthy. During sexual arousal, your body produces fluid in the vulva to reduce friction and help with penetration. This fluid is white and is released by the Bartholin glands in your vulva and Skene’s glands around your urethra.
The thickness of the fluid varies from girl to girl, as well as throughout the day and within your menstrual cycle. Some women also experience a lot of fluid being released during orgasm, known as ‘squirting’.
This is a result of hormonal arousal and your vulva releasing extra lubrication to aid with orgasm. However, it’s important to note that this fluid is not safe for oral sex and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This can be serious and may lead to long-term health complications.
