Question
After an intensification of improper (sexual) thoughts, does a person need to check himself to see whether a seminal emission has occurred?
It is very common that this happens in a very small amount (a little, after urinating).
The practical implication is regarding concern of soiling the clothing and the prohibition of reciting a beracha, etc.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
There is no need to check oneself.
Even if some moisture has come out, this is not considered semen and does not render either the clothing or touching the body forbidden.
