Many thanks, but afaik, it can't mean "sweat". The important point you need to aware is that, the term used here is as a kind of 借喻. So it's better not to translate it literally.

Pls excuse my encoding! Sorry, I am using Richwin and my program seems to be corrupted. I input using Chinese, but for some reason it comes up as Japanese Shift-JIS. Thanks for providing answers anyway, and sorry about this problem. Can't replace my Chinese program just yet...
Xuchun May 8, 2005:
Hi, Nigel, the correct encoding is Japanese Shift-JIS, quite unreasonable, isn't it?
Nigel Jones May 8, 2005:
What encoding is this in?

Selected

cum or semen

The definition: the thick white fluid containing spermatozoa that is ejaculated by the male genital tract.
But cum is used more informal and colloquially.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Am disappointed that no-one has answered my question specifically, i.e., MUST this mean "semen," or could it mean "sweat" too? Anyway, I am choosing to give credits to you since you gave some useful info (i.e., cum/semen=sperm). I don't want to leave this question up too long, because I have already begun to get some unsavory e-mail as a result! In all honesty, this term is used in the novel I am translating...so I'm just trying to get some professional input. Many thanks. Bruce"

Could be either. Sweat (straight meaning). Sperm (metaphor)

You need to change your encoding to simpliefied Chinese (GB2312)

More context is needed for an appropriate translation. "yulu" could be sperm, but I felt this might be referring to the man's habit of giving his love to too many girls.
