In response to sexual stimulation, the Bartholin glands secrete mucus that serves to lubricate the inner labial surfaces, as well as to enhance the viability and motility of sperm. Skene glands lubricate the urinary meatus and vestibule. Maintaining acid-base balance is a function of the vagina to discourage the growth of pathogenic organisms. Stimulation of penile mechanoreceptors assists in enlargement of the penis in erections.
