Yeah, I remember my first girlfriend having to explain to me the concept of occasional discharge. Bonus: Apparently it is slightly acidic and thus tends to ruin underwear, especially the slightly sexier, black kind because there's less cloth material and black is apparently a chemically sensitive color.

That was before I had seen Alien, so I made that connection a lot later.

it also correlates with when you might want to wear sexier underwear, so really the lingerie industry has no idea what it's doing
