What constitutes seminal fluid (Mani)?

Primary text

Seminal fluid, which necessitates ritual washing (*ghusl*), is defined as the thick, outpouring fluid released during intense sexual desire. For a woman, this fluid is thin and yellowish. The definite article 'al' in 'al-Mani' implies that all six specified causes of *ghusl* are included, starting with the emission of this fluid.
