Glands found on either side of the base of the male urethra near the prostate. They produce a small amount of liquid called pre-ejaculate or pre-cum that appears at the tip of the penis during arousal. The pre-cum helps lubricate the urethra to aid the passage of sperm during ejaculation. Go science!
Named after 17th-century British anatomist William Cowper, who allegedly copied the research of Dutch anatomist Govard Bidloo and took all the credit for the discovery. These two esteemed physicians went after each other in the press like a couple of drunk, snatch-flashing starlets fighting of over some flash-in-the-pan guitarist and a bottle of pills, all for the glory of being the heroic genius who discovered the source of pre-cum. Go history!
1. Hey baby, why don’t you come over here and lick the pre-ejaculate from my Cowper’s Glands off the tip of my engorged penis?
2. When I see Bethany in those yoga pants, my Cowper’s Glands start secreting pre-ejaculate like crazy!
