Someone posted this earlier, and I've noticed the same thing. I never really thought much of it...but now I am! I know I'm paranoid and it's probably normal, but...

Anyway, here's what the other member posted:

"My husband and I have been trying to get pg for a few months now and nothing. But after sex it seems that his man juices just want to come right out of me no matter how long I lay in bed. Is that normal???"

Help!

YES! This is a very common question around here....it IS normal. There is a big difference between semen (the juices-lol) and sperm-the swimmers. Sperm is transported into the vagina by the semen at which time they promptly swim into the cervical mucus and through the cervix, up into the fallopian tubes. The semen can't just stay there....it has to go somewhere- and that's out! Nothing to be concerned about at all. It is recommended that you lay down with a pillow under the butt for at least 20 minutes after bding just to give a little helping hand gravity wise for the swimmers to get where they're suppose to be.

I hope this helps!!

LOL- what goes in has to come out, right? Hee, hee...of course we all have that same problem and try putting your bumm on a pillow afterward to keep it in there as long as possible, but there are millions of spermies in one ejaculation so many many thousands of them are still going to be with you even after the juices have leaked out. GL and no embarrassing questions around here, eh? ;) ;) ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) LOLove, Connie

Ah, thanks Tara! I was pretty sure it was normal, but I got all paranoid. One of my special skills...

THANK YOU!!

Instead of a pillow, I use one or 2 folded up towels! Pretty much prevents my having to sleep in the wet spot! LOL!! :)

I have read that the juices that run out are mainly female juices! The semen actually thickens when inside to help the spermies on their way. It's the female lubrication that doesn't have room to stay. Which is correct? I don't know, but thought I'd share...
