thanks gals, I think I get it. I think the EWCM sort of has more body to it, whereas semen is just sort of like slime, gross description I know, but i think YKWIM. OMG Tanya, have you actually tried that? How did you figure that out? I can just see me carrying a jar of water to the toilet and DH asking me what am I doing "oh, just seing if my mucous sinks!!!" he would die, he is so squeamish!!! LOL
