What is the function of the cowpers?

The Cowpers gland (bulbourethral gland) is a male sexual gland. It provides fluid to lubricate and clean the lower urethra, which may have residue left from its use during urination. During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous 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, remaining in the urethral bulb from previous ejaculations, and carry them out prior to the next ejaculation.
