Here are some ...: Combining the info from another Q, what you experienced & described may be the normal phenomenon for you. Seeing clear penile discharge at sexual arousal is the expected excretion, called pre-cum from Cowper's glands; that is normal. And the discharge from urethritis (GU or NGU) may appear throughout 24 hrs or only at night for a longer time during sleep allows scant discharge to be seen.
