Semen

---

In the last few weeks I have noted while masturbating a sharp decrease in semen. I never ejaculated a lot in the first place, but it's gotten to the point where sometimes nothing will come out at all, or maybe one drop that will sometimes be very runny. If I get really turned on I do have an ejaculation that contains semen that looks and feels normal, but it's still less than normal. I'm really starting to get frightened something is wrong or that I might be going sterile. Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: I also meant to ask about a rumor I heard. A rumor that if you masturbate too much it will take nutrients from your body to produce more semen, and eventually your body will cease producing sperm after losing too much of this nutrients and you will become sterile. Sounds like a load of crap to me, but does anyone know if there is any truth to it?

How frequently are you masturbating? Try giving it a rest and see if that doesn't bring the volume back. Remember to drink lots of fluids, too. You may be becoming a little dehydrated, but you're not becoming sterile.
At your age, you've got a lot of sperm yet to produce. You're not going to deplete your body permanently.

The rumor you heard is not true. Sperms will keep producing and producing. The amount of nutrients take to produce them is very minimal. One would not become sterile just by masturbating too much.

Lastly, you mentioned about semen that feels and look normal, please describe how you define "normal" semen. Semen of different guys will have different consistencies. Some may produce semen which is very thick and sticky, other might produce semen which is very runny and watery.

Semen of different guys will have different consistencies. Some may produce semen which is very thick and sticky, other might produce semen which is very runny and watery. Normal meaning white, slimy, and somewhat thick. That's really all I know how to describe it as. I think the runnier drop of semen I mentioned is prostate fluid.

Hey, i think the question again is how often are you jacking off? There's no "rules" here, your cum will vary. If you've noticed a difference the first question is are you varying your habit. Long experience for me says the longer you go, the thicker. Then, a quick jo will not get as much as a long one - you have more time to build up. Then it's also true that sometimes are better than others - you can't always be a porn star. Unless you feel something else wrong, best not to worry about it.

It had gotten to the point that I was masturbating up to five times a day. Figuring that was too much since each one got less pleasurable than the last, I cut back to my usual once or twice per day. I kept waiting for my semen to return to normal over the last two weeks but it doesn't seem to be.  Quote: Long experience for me says the longer you go, the thicker.

I've been getting less in my "quick jos" than they normally give, and less in my longer sessions than those normally give. It's not so much that I would just prefer to have more of an ejaculation, although I would, but I mostly want to be sure there are no health concerns that may be connected to this symptom that I should address. Thank you all for your input, and any further would also be appreciated.

readytogo suggested dehydration - are you drinking enough fluid?

The amount of ejaculate you having now might be due to dehydration.Try using the stop-and-go technique to build up tension during masturbation. It also help to increase the amount of semen ejaculated.Like you said, you masturbate up to 5 times a day. You will run out of sperms that day, it will take a few hours to produce them. Even for myself, if I'm going for the 5th time in a day, I will only produce a clear liquid or sometimes nothing.Just to ask, between your 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th, 4th and 5th ejaculation within a day, how long is it? I notice that if I ejaculated the 1st time, the 2nd ejaculation will still take place, the 3rd will be the lowest amount. The period between each ejaculation would be somewhere from 30minutes to an hour. But if I waited for 2 hours or so, the amount will not be so low.

I stopped masturbating quite so often about two weeks ago, but now that you mention it I have been drinking a lot less water than normal. I don't think I am quite dehydrated, but I've still been drinking less. I'll try to drink some more water for a week or so and see if I ejaculate more. Thanks for the info guys. I'm feeling a lot better about it.

Glad we could help you.

Today I drank four 16 oz. bottles of water on top of a few restaurant-sized cups of iced tea and and coca-cola. After I was done being a virtual pissing machine, I masturbated and ejaculated a lot more than I have been. It's still not quite back to normal, but I'm hoping another day or so of drinking fluids will replenish it fully.

Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to come back if something is still amiss after I've made sure I'm good and hydrated.

Always good to get a followup report. Beware of caffeinated drinks, however, as they can contribute to dehydration.

My semen has never quite returned to normal, so the other day I finally swallowed my embarrassment and mustered the courage to tell someone else other than the faceless internet. I went to see a doctor and he seemed to think it was nothing. He told me that semen fluctuates like that from time to time, and that it's most likely not important. I'm still a little bit concerned but I've got all the evidence in the world right now that nothing is wrong with me, and only one small piece that something is. I suppose I'm just being nervous and paranoid now.

Thank you all for your help.
