The main function of the bulbourethral or cowper's gland is to produce and release the "pre-cum" to rid the urethra of any acidic urine. The clear fluid neutralizes urine in the urethra so that when a man ejaculates, the sperm in the semen are not destroyed by acidic urine leftover in the urethra. The whole purpose of ejaculation is to send healthy sperm out of the male and into the female reproductive system for fertilization; this can't happen if the sperm come into contact with acidic fluids.
The bulbourethral glands (also known as the cowper's glands) are male sexual glands. They are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. During sexual intercourse each gland produces a secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, and carry them out prior to the next intercourse.
