Is semen acidic or basic?
345320
semen contains lots of vitamin c (Ascorbic acid) and many sperm do die off before they get to the egg. but the females vagina is not full of urine because the urethra opens on the outside not inside the vagina.  i would say that semen is acidic bearing that information in mind

As far as I know semen is made up of mostly salt, water, proteins, sugar and even some vitamin D, and if you don't mind the bit of mucous and the sperm cells themselves that make up its consistency you can also throw that in as well. Although remember semen along with blood can transmitt STI(Sexual Transmitted Infections). IT is 100% safer if your swallowing your own semen as you should know if it's disease free.So in conclusion if semen is disease free it is harmless if swallowed.

sperm, prostaglandins to cause contractions of the vagina AKA, orgasms, fructose-something to feed the hungry little guys and an alkaline milk from the prostate that neutralizes the acidity of the vagina and uterus.

wow, well put mrjeffy! I have one thing to add though. Because all acids and bases are electrolytes, you can use pH to determine what is and isn't an electrolyte in a solution. If it come out as acidic or basic, it is and electrolyte(the darker, the more basic or acidic). If it comes out neutral, like Distilled Water, it is not. Also don't forget that non-electrolytes will not completely dissolve into solution in water.

Yes. Would you like a donation?\n\nSemen contains water and small amounts of salt, vitamin D, protein, and fructose. Semen may also contain dissolved water- and fat-soluble constituents, depending on the diet of the person in question. These constituents may affect the color, odor, consistency, and taste of the semen. Does it whiten teeth? Probably not. Vitamin D and protein certainly won't hurt your skin in such small doses though.

Transparent! You can't actually even see any of the microscopic sperm because it is mixed with semen produced by the prostate, which is a type of mucus that is a delivery agent for sperm.\n\nEven under a microscope, sperm cells are translucent and slightly white, like most tiny cells.

d) basic\n\n[Non-metal oxides do the opposite and form acidic solutions if they are soluble e.g. sulphur dioxide dissolves to form sulphurous acid)

This is normal and I would not worry.  The clear part is the seminal fluid the white swirls are the sperm.

1. stop yanking it 2. It takes three days to build up a full load. Also you might have a vitamin E deficency. Someone verify for me, but I do remember reading somewhere that Sperm is made up mainly of vitamin E. Get your blood tested for vitamin levels, that or you have be wearing underwear that is too tight that will kill your little men as well, making you have a low sperm count.

The pH scale goes from 1-14, with 1 being the most acidic, 14 being the most basic, and 7 being neutral. \n\nSince a pH of 9 is closer to neutral than extremely basic (pH = 14), I would call the window cleaner weakly basic.

Since silica gel has hydroxyl groups, I would imagine that it should be more soluble in basic >7 than acidic or neutral solution

Do you have blood in your sperm or sperm in your blood?

You have normal vaginal secretions.  When you see white substances, this is probably cervical fluid.  Cerival fluid helps sperm reach the egg more easily (the vagina and cervix are very acidic and normally kill sperm quickly. . . cervical fluid helps sperm move faster and minimizes the acidicy).  You should notice a cyclic nature to your secretions.  Starting out with your period, then fairly watery for a few days, then sticky for a few days, then a day or two when the fluid seems like egg whites, then back to water until your period comes again.  If this is what you are experiencing (or something similar to this) then everything is normal.  If you have secretions that are chunky (like cottage cheese) or smell foul (like fish), then you should see a doctor as you likely have an infection of some sort.

Buffers are chemicals that help to regulate the pH level in your body. ie. acidic or basic. Your body can only function within certain range of pH, close to 7 (which is neutral). If the blood gets to basic, and acidic buffer will be sent out to level it off. If your blood becomes acidic, a basic chemical will be used to help regulate it.
