my semen has recently (for the past few months) been an opaque yellow color.(as if mixed with urine)anyone have any ideas what would cause this? I know eating certain things can change smell and such, but this has been going on for a long time. I am not sexually active so this is not an STD or anything like that. thanks for your time

Semen color

semen varies in color, there's nothing you can really do about it...it's what makes you unique

Actually an ejaculation contains several types of fluids. One, the ejaculatory fluid is usually white/creamy in color and consistency. The actual sperm in an ejaculation is usually yellowish and jelly like in consistency. You'll usually notice more of it when your ejaculations are more spread out over a certain period of time. Hope this helps.

my cum seems more "clear" than white. sometimes it's creamy white and then sometimes it's almost completely clear w/ just a touch of white. What's that mean?

I don't like to generalize things too much. Each ejaculation is going to be different in content and volume so it stands to reason that each one will appear different. The more time you have between ejaculations, the more you'll possibly notice more of the sperm (usually yellowish) however, you can't always judge yourself on others either. Mine appear totally different each time as well but almost always are whitish/creamy colored. Just depends though on how much time between ejaculations as to the amount, the consistency etc. I don't know if I answered your question though...

Wow, this is all new to me.... I always thought it was all white-ish or just white. Wow.

In reply to: Wow, this is all new to me.... I always thought it was all white-ish or just white. Wow. Same here

Semen colour varies. One of the biggest factors is time between ejaculations. If you ejaculate soon after your previous ejaculation it will tend to be clearer. If you wait a week or more it is likely to look more yellow. In between these extremes it is likely to be white.The other factor is simple perception. On skin semen usually looks white, but put the same semen on a white sheet of paper and it will have a yellow tint - it is just that your eyes judge shades of colour by comparing with other things nearby.

doesn't semen color depend on your diet? I heard that somewhere.Mine use to be yellow but these days white and clear.
