Hello.
You're probably not discharging seminal fluid--and it's certainly not "abnormal." Your sexual tension is building up, and with no release, your body is in a state of arousal.
Your penis isn’t leaking. It’s behaving exactly as your body is telling it to do. When post-pubescent (adult) men become sexually aroused, a gland called the Cowper’s Gland, secretes a milky fluid, also known as "pre-come." Some men produce large amounts of this fluid, while others produce very little. Everyone is different. This fluid clears the urethra of uric acid prior to ejaculation. Without this fluid, many of the sperm carried in semen would be killed or damaged by the acid contained in urine.
From the tone of your post, it sounds as though you believe sexual feelings are somehow bad or wrong. If you're an adult male, these feelings can be quite powerful--especially if you ignore them. Your body is simply responding to your ignoring your feelings. It definitely has a mind of its own. The question is what are you going to do about this? I'm wondering why you feel "disgusted" by your body's functions.
Perhaps it might help you to learn more about male sexuality. I highly recommend the book "The New Male Sexuality" by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., widely available online, both used and in paperback. This book has helped thousands of men to better understand their sexuality. Best of luck to you. Dr. J

If you are convinced that you have a medical condition, you should schedule an exam with a urologist, who will run some tests to determine whether there is any underlying physiological problem.
