What causes semen to be thick with gelatin-like globs in it?
478956
Consistency of semen isn't very consistent; you've probably noticed that the thickness of your ejaculate can vary from day to day. This is because the quality of the fluid is very susceptible to a number of factors. Diet, exercise and frequency of sex can all dictate how thick or watery your emissions are, as can the tightness of the clothes that you wear (tight clothing will increase body temperature and can thus impact sperm motility. \n\nWhile there is a lack of supporting scientific evidence, a number of ingredients are said to help thicken up semen. Because of their protein content, egg whites and gelatin are often recommended. Wheat germ, omega-3 oils, selenium, and zinc are all also believed to improve consistency.\n\nEver wonder what your semen is made up of? Here's ya a quick lesson.\nThere are many ingredients composing semen, and its makeup is the same from man to man. Here are a few of the constituent elements: vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, citric acid, creatine, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12, and zinc.

I read two stupid incomplete answers before!\nSemen as well as any else body stuff gets genetic factors, first of all!\nThen you know that sperm is produced with the participation of different glands and structures (Prostate, Testicles, Seminal vesicles, etc.) and the Seminal vesicles are the main factor for determining the amount of semen, since they cook up two-thirds of the actual fluid by volume. Another third is handled by the prostate gland, and a dab is brewed by the two pea-sized Cowper's gland. Then there are rare and exceptional cases alike me where the semen is abnormal in quantity, but that just is another issue.\nAnyway, the average quantity is within 1,5 -3 ml. and it’s more important to verify the spermatozoa number and vitality rather than the quantity.\nWhen it’s out average, there is some specific drug useful to increase the quantity and so the spermatozoa number too, but only an urologist can prescribe it.

Im not convinced that there is anything you can do to reliably change the consistancy of your semen.\n\nI have seen a lot of semen, from a variety of diffrent guys, and in my experiance, while it varies from guy to guy, the load I get from each guy is generally the same - though there is sometimes more or less of it.  \n\nPersonally I don't think that it is a problem if it is thinner... it all turnes clear after a short time anyway.  As long as it comes out hot, and you enjoy it is what matters to me.

There is a god chance that your sperm count is up right now. If this happens all the time and never changes consistency, go see a doctor. Better yet, have you had your annual check up yet? Might want to do that.

Semen consistency can change at any age.  There are many reasons why semen can alter its consistency. The most common antecedents are changes in diet, change in exercise, or a change in tightness of clothing around the genitals (tight pants or briefs). Exercising and wearing tight clothing can increase the heat of the scrotum, changing sperm motility and potentially, semen consistency as well.

Ejaculation\n\nThe prostate gland has a specific function, namely semen ejacuation. Ejaculation is a complex process. When the penis is stimulated, the prostate swells with secretions. After the prostate gland swells to its maximum capacity, it undergoes a rapid series of contractions until it shrinks to its normal size. These contractions squeeze the secretions from the prostate, through the urethra, into the penis, and then out the tip of the penis. Every time the prostate contracts and relaxes, it draws sperm from the seminal vesicle. It is possible for a man to experience more than twenty contractions. Since ejaculation is a function of the prostate, someone with prostate problems may experience as few as five or even only one contraction. Because orgasms are comprised of these contractions, problems of the prostate will affect orgasm.\n\nThe male sexual glands consist of the prostate and testicles. The penis itself is not considered to be part of the sexual glands, since it does not produce anything. It is simply the channel through which the glandular secretions can pass — the instrument to be used by the sexual glands for procreation. The testicles produce sperm and hormones and the prostate produces the nutrient-, hormone-, and energy-rich seminal fluid. The secretions produced in the prostate contain not only the chemical components of thsese compounds, but also Vital Life Force. These secretions constitute the semen, which is the substance that serves as the carrier of sperm.\n\nWhen the average man ejaculates, he loses about one tablespoon of semen.According to research, the nutritional value of this amount of semen is equal to that of 8 ounces of beefsteak, ten eggs, six oranges, and two lemons combined. That includes proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and everything else associated with these nutrients.\n\nThe semon alson contains a great deal of Vital Life Force; therefore, an ejaculation also represents a great deal of lost vital energy. This is demonstrated by the exhaustion and even depression experienced after ejaculation.\n\nEjaculation is often called "coming," but a more precise term for it would be "going," since everything — including the erection, vital energy, millions of live sperm, hormones, nutrients, even a little of the man's personality — goes away through the action. It is a great sacrifice for the man spiritually, mentally, and physically.\n\nAfter ejaculation, all of the Seven Glands are depleted, particularly the sexual glands. The Tao teaches that, if you go in this direction of moving the energy down through the Seven Glands and out of the body through ejaculation, you are moving in the direction of the human being, and all human beings eventually die. In contrast, by going in the other direction, moving the energy upward through the Seven Glands in the body, you can develop the instrument for living an immortal life, a Divine life. For this reason, the ancient Taoists searched for and discovered a way for the man to have even more enjoyable orgasms without ejaculation, to retain and utilize his own vital energy.\n\nIf a man is able to "injaculate," as explained in the next section, he will retain this previous vital energy and maintain his erection. This facilitates his taking the woman up through the nine levels of a complete Taoist orgasm. (What is commonly considered as an orgasm in a woman is actually only an indication of the fourth level of a nine-level sequence.)\n\nHope this helps. :)

Semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid; about 10-30% of the seminal fluid is produced by the prostate gland, the rest is produced by the two seminal vesicles called bulbourethral glands . The prostate also contains some smooth muscle that helps to expel semen during ejaculation.The purpose of seminal fliud is to supply a viscous, alkaline secretion that forms a part of the sperm secreations it is rich in nutrients, including citric and amino acids and fructose to provide an energy source for sperm metabolism and to enhance sperm motility.

it is very common in men for sperm to build up in the epididmus which can cause this type of build up and/or pressure. The epididimus is crescent shaped and lays along your testicle.this is where your sperm go to get their tails. it is almost like an assembly line and they go through many processes before moving into your testicles where they are stored until ejaculation. you may also feel extreme almost painful pressure when ejaculating. Many mens testicles also pull into their bodies as they are closer to climax or when ejaculating.

Normal semen is light gray-white, not creamy, green, yellow or red; those colors might suggest infection. However, people's perceptions of subtle colors can be quite variable, so I don't know if you have anything wrong. \nTime play have no meaning towards semen!\nHyperviscosity and density of seemen is another important factor depending by the good functionality of male reproductive organs. In fact, on such case a number of sperm orient themselves tail-to-tail or head-to-head instead of swimming in a straight line. This clumping is another problem for the fertility. This finding may could indicate a problem with sperm antibodies or the presence of a bacterial infection again.

Honey...I'm a mom.  Hate to ask this, but does it smell bad?  Have you been having sex with a boy?  If so, could be PH imbalance because of his semen.  Was this white liquid during waht was SUPPOSED to be your period?  These are all questions you should ask a gynecologist (female organs doctor) or (free clinic if you want to be private and not discuss with parents).  From a mom's point of view...I always encouraged my daughter (now 21) to duscuss with me these things.  We were honest and open with each other, and if there was something I didn't WANT to hear, I tried not to REACT badly, but help her get answers, then we'd sit down and discuss what caused this to happen afterwards.  I wanted her to trust me.  Show this to your mom and see if she would be open with you...then see the gynecologist.  Could be a simple yeast infection which are easily treated, but need a doctor to diagnose it and prescribe medication or over the counter medicine.  Never put off questions about your female health.  Good luck!  P.S.  clumps?  sounds familiar from when I was young, but the gynecologist is the best way to go.  Never be afraid of going to the doctor.  Be more afraid of ignorance, and not knowing exactly what's wrong.  If you find out all is okay, won't you feel MUCH better??  Go for it Dear....

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.

The consistency of the semen cannot really tell you anything about a sperm count.  The quality of semen is highly variable and can change due to hydration, diet, excercise, number of times one has ejaculated etc.
