What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. When a man feels "horny" or sexually aroused, and he gets an erection, there is a fluid that is released. It is referred to as pre-ejaculatory fluid or pre-cum. It helps prepare the way for semen to be released. Because men urinate and ejaculate from the same tube (urethra), the body has to protect the sperm from being damaged by any leftover urine crystals as it passes thru. The pre-ejaculatory fluid balances the pH in the urethra and helps lubricate it.
Unfortunately, it's not really something you can stop. If you feel yourself becoming sexually aroused in a place where you would be embarassed, try tucking your penis downward so the tip isn't pressing directly out in front where it can make an obvious stain. You can also excuse yourself and go to a restroom or toilet and dab yourself with a tissue, perhaps even putting it in your underwear.
As you become more comfortable dealing with your feelings of sexual arousal, you'll find that it becomes easier to accommodate and deal with them in ways that are not embarassing. Remember, nearly all men experience the same thing. I would recommend that you visit the section on the website that deals with male sexual function.
Thanks for writing in with your question. Take care and be well. Peace
