I am a medical interpreter and until like three months ago I didn’t know that women had clear fluid secretions on the regular, as in as a normal part of their life monthly cycle. No one, not any gf nor my actual gf or any friend had told me that. I hadn’t heard about it anywhere, either on the news, on small talk, on jokes, on serious conversations, on sex ed, nowhere. I was in wonder not because of the fact, but because of how little info about it there is until I got the info in my job, and even there i hadn’t heard about it before nor after. It’s so weird for something so common to be this quiet.
I kept reading and hearing this and since it doesn’t happen to me I thought something was wrong with me. So I’d like to add that according to my gyn it’s also perfectly normal to not have this happen!
I keep hearing this but what is it? Is it a way the body regulates ph? Is it some sorta chemical reaction that happens internally that gets rejected by the body? Is it just mucus wherein the body just makes too much?
No they mean the pH of the actual secretions. Some vaginal secretions are more acidic than others and the pH of those secretions changes throughout the month and can be changed by the microbiome of the vagina.
Im not a vagina haver, and I hear that the PH levels can also slowly cause holes in a lot of fabrics. That sounds rough, my washing machine slowly ruins enough of my clothes on it own.
Id imagine friction between sock and shoe plays a bigger part there than friction can play with genitals and underwear. At least I hope so, I pity the poor bastards who got just as much friction there on a dialy basis lol.
So when you say “after I became one” are you saying you’re trans and have begun to experience this after bottom surgery? If so, I’m wondering if there are the same kind of secretions from the penis that I’m just not noticing. I mean there are times when I drift off in thoughts of sexual fantasies and end up with “pre-cum” in my underwear. I wonder if it’s the same process.
Ugh so gross. So there’s only 1 possible solution, and they have to sell it to you. More options pleas3, not made of clunky, awkward pads which force me to wear Granny panties.
I’d almost say the same thing about the fact that ballsacks “breathe” constantly. It’s easily confirmed by just looking at them when idle, but nobody talks about it and I never read anything about it until I just… Looked at my own balls for a few seconds and realized they noticeably expand and contract at a discernable speed.
This is like beyond that, it’s like your balls have the two major modes of being contracted or saggy, but then they also just constantly pulse even within the two, it’s probably from the same mechanism though

You know what’s extra fun about this?
Those secretions bleach underwear. That’s right, my cute black panties are all inevitably doomed to have a white spot in the crotch over time!

Depends on your Ph level. Everyone’s is different.

I have a phd.
And this is how I found out lol

My feet must sweat sulphuric acid then. :(

Yeah I didn’t learn that until after I became one. That was a fun thing to be informed is normal after thinking something is wrong

Yep, that’s why these things are sold

I got a free solution, go commando.
I didn’t say it was a good solution, just free.

That’s just their idle animation. Supposedly, if they desync, it’s like a yo-yo until they catch back up
I wonder if it has to do with temp regulation. Iirc that’s the reason why balls can expand and contract to begin with.
It does. Cold temps, balls close to the body. High temps, long saggy ball bag.

We come with a built in ball massaging feature!
It’s like watching a lava lamp.
I knew this one and I’ll take that as a win.
Totally, i’m pretty sure not many of us know that lol.
I learned it like 6 months ago in a random reddit post. I was like, wtf ?!
