This alkaline fluid, which makes up a significant portion of semen, helps neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra and vaginal tract, providing a more hospitable environment for sperm survival and motility. Additionally, the alkaline nature of prostate secretion may also help protect sperm from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract.

What surrounds the urethra at the base of the bladder producing milky alkaline fluid?
The paired BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS (COWPER'S GLANDS) are tiny pea-sized glands located inferior to the prostate gland, on each side of the urethra. They produce a thick, clear mucus which is released prior to ejaculation when a male first becomes sexually aroused. The secretion is alkaline, so it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra. It also serves as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.
