Wikipedia
Bulbourethral gland
The bulbourethral glands or Cowper's glands (named for English anatomist William Cowper) are two small exocrine glands in the reproductive system of many male mammals (of all domesticated animals, they are absent only in dogs). They are homologous to Bartholin's glands in females. The bulbouretheral glands are responsible for producing a pre-ejaculate fluid called Cowper's fluid (known colloquially as pre-ejaculate or pre-cum), which is secreted during sexual arousal, neutralizing the acidity of the urethra in preparation for the passage of sperm cells.

bulbourethral gland
The bulbourethral gland, also known as Cowper's Gland, is one of two small exocrine glands present in the reproductive system of many male mammals. They are located in the pelvic region, below the prostate gland, and their primary function is to secrete a clear, viscous fluid that forms part of the semen. This pre-ejaculatory fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for sperm to pass through and neutralize the acidity of any residual urine, creating a safer passage for sperm during ejaculation.
