Even since I fist discovered all the fun things I could do to my person, I have always had a post-ej_culatory oozing afterwards. That is, (and sorry to be graphic), I kinda leak c_m a bit afterwards. Not a lot, but enough to make a wet spot on the undies. The only way to not have this happen is to go pee-pee afterwards. That seems to clear the area. What’s the story? Am I normal? ---

No discharge at other times? No burning with urination? No blood? Then you’re probably normal, at least as normal and I can make out without an exam. Qadgop, MD ---

Semen has a funny cycle in the way it shoots out as a liquid — then quickly congeals — then after a little while it liquefies again. That’s my guess as to why you can’t get it all out at once. You have to wait a while for it to liquefy so the remaining bit can get out of the urethra, or else wash it out with urine. ---

I’ve noticed the same thing myself… I don’t think it’s a problem but IANAD. One thing I have noticed too is that after… well you know… I have a strong urge to pee and “clean the pipes” as they say. That takes care of the problem every time. ---

I was told in school that the afterglow-ruining trip to the urinal was, in fact, a result of the slight irritation unejaculated semen causes when it is left behind. Not in those words, of course. 🙂 Re the OP: I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about **Kansas Man**. The storage depot is a pretty long way from the unloading portal (relatively speaking), so there’s bound to be a little product along the way that doesn’t make it into the first shipment. Think of it as the after-Christmas sale in your pants. 😃 ---

Am I normal? \*\* I’m not going to approach the question of your normality, but I’ll take a stab at the issue of “oozing.” Consider a plumbing system where a pump pushes a liquid through a relatively lengthy pipe. When the pump stops – in this case, when the ‘ej\*culatory’ glory ends – the pipe is still filled with the liquid. The pressure, however, is gone, and the liquid drains as gravity dictates. I’m sure you get the picture… As for the ‘pee-pee’ clearing things up, well, of course! The hydrant is flushed! The ‘burning’ sensation that’s been alluded to is a result of replacing semen with urine when urinating afterward. The two fluids have sharply different pH’s, which accounts for a slight and temporary irritation when one is substituted for the other. The same sensation probably takes place when you substitute semen for urine in the same passage, but the events that precipitate that substitution generally divert your attention enough that you don’t notice. Most men complain about the burning in relation to the more prosaic act of takin’ a post-coital leak. ---

See, the thing about semen is, it doesn’t all come out during orgasm. Me, I’ve been having trouble withpre-ejaculation cum. During felatio, my loving girlfriend thinks I’m done, and then, BOOM. Maybe I should work out a system for this one…
