  Bulbourethral gland
In the anatomy of the male human body, the bulbourethral glands (or Cowper's glands) are two small, rounded, and somewhat lobulated bodies, of a yellow color, about the size of peas, placed behind and lateral to the membranous portion of the urethra, between the two layers of the fascia of the urogenital diaphragm[?].
The excretory duct of each gland, nearly 2.5 cm long, passes obliquely forward beneath the mucous membrane, and opens by a minute orifice on the floor of the cavernous portion of the urethra about 2.5 cm in front of the urogenital diaphragm.
Cowper's glands in males are homologous to Bartholin's glands in females.

Therefore the role of these glands is in facilitating internal fertilization, not in contributing to semen.
In addition, because the secretions of the bulbourethral glands occur before intercourse, it is thought that a secondary function of these secretions is to clear the urethra of any urine/wastes that may still be within it before the semen passes through.
