The answer

The fluid that exits with a gush accompanied by desire is semen (mani). Semen has three characteristics: it exits with desire, followed by a weakening (of desire); it has a smell resembling that of a palm spathe; and it exits in spurts and gushes. The presence of just one of these characteristics is sufficient to determine that it is semen. Its expulsion in this manner necessitates (ritual bath) by consensus of the jurists, if it exits with gushing and desire. If the expelled fluid is not semen, or if there is doubt about its characteristics, then ghusl is not required, and ' (washing of private parts) suffices.
