Question:
The vaginal discharge from my girlfriend during sex
is white in color, not clear in color as I have read from lots
of people. Is this normal? The discharge smells okay.

From what you describe, it seems that your
girlfriend's vaginal discharge during sex is perfectly normal.
Normal, healthy vaginal discharge is scant or sticky, clear
or white, has a mild odor, and may dry to a yellowish color
on a female's underwear.
The consistency, quantity, and odor of vaginal
lubrication varies considerably from woman to woman, and
from day to day of a woman's ovulation cycle. For most of
a woman's ovulation cycle, her vaginal mucosa will be
cloudy, white, and/or tacky - becoming clearer and more
slippery as ovulation (the point in her cycle during which an
egg is released from the ovaries) approaches. In the days
prior to ovulation, the amount of mucus discharge
increases and becomes clearer. It remains that way for 1-2
peak days, becoming slippery and stringy - like raw egg
white for that time period - before becoming a cloudy
state for the majority of her cycle once again. Glad you
asked!
