Semen With Gel Like Substance

I began experiencing this in my late 20's, when I started masturbating FAR less. I've also had the yellowish color at times, and that is simply diet. As far as the gelatinous substance, I've come to the conclusion (after a great deal of research and clean STI test[s]) that it is normal.

I'm sure most here will admit they were extremely 'active' in their teens and 20's, or even the younger guys too...same idea but less years. Now that we slow down, our reproductive system has developed as such that we create a great deal of semen, proteins (in it) etc., which now gets a little 'backed up'.

I've inspected the lumps, remember your testes are full of tubes, the vas deferens. When you ejaculate, if you look at it, you will notice it looks as though it gelled while in a tube or your urethra or something, almost like 1/8" at most pieces of spaghetti (in shape only).

It does not affect fertility as I have a child, and at 31 tested at over 450 million (which is unheard of I guess, avg 150??). I've also heard that we've also evolved to have our semen create a 'plug' at the cervix to keep out any competition lol. That's also why the penis is shaped like a syringe plunger...ew.

Anyway, my research and experience points to it being normal, but I can say the only way I know to get rid of it at this time is more 'action' guys, which keeps the prostate going strong too. Hope this helps someone who's really concerned like I was at first...

I'm a 22 and recently did a couple months in county jail. When I was in I didn't masturbate for a long period of time (not nearly as much as i'm used to) and noticed jel like beads coming out when I masturbated. Also slight pain would occur, my solution was to ejaculate multiple times to get out the jel like beads and it seems to work. Iv'e only been out a short time so I'll keep you posted, but the biggest reason your comment stands out is because we would get juice packs in there with the main ingredient being -aspartame! If this continues should I be worried?

I am experiencing the similar thing, except so far it only happened once, I say you should get it checked out just in case

Guys, I've been struggling with this for over 6 years. Doctors don't have a clue about this illness. A couple of months ago I've read some guy's blog and his solution is the only thing that actually make things much better for me.Take your time and read it ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed , hope it will come handy for some of you. Take good care fellows.

I have the same problem when i masturbate after few days eg : after 18 days . I have noticed that my sperm contains liquid + jelly like subtance , i have no pain , i have nothing any problem .. but worried

I am a reproductive biologist. The Gel like Substance is called SEMG1 and SEMG2 protein, they form dimer becoming gel substrate then liquefied by KLK3 serine protease ( an other protein also inside the semen) within 20 mins. This process allows semen stay in female reproductive tract and then liberate the sperm to fertilize the egg. Gel is normal, If it does not liquefy then its abnormal. IF you worry about it, go do a simple test at any fertility clinic.

I've had the same gel for over 15 years. I've got a 10 yr old. 5 yr old and 2 yr old. The gel is a adaptation of the semen. It stores sperm cells, and sticks deep inside the vagina instead of dripping out. this increasing chances of fertilization.

"Firstly there's a wide range of texture, odor, and taste in normal and healthy semen. There is even variation in color, including opaque white, transparent, and yellowish. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as diet, lifestyle and alcohol consumption and even lack of regular ejaculations. This is a common question asked on our Q&A, so please do not feel alone, a lot of men have suffered from this issue. From our knowledge, sometimes the causes of jelly-like sperm is the massive concentration of protein compound of your sperm in your testicular sperm bank, usually those teens that masturbate actively for years and suddenly refrain from doing it have a greater chance of having this stuff(though its normal). Because during the time your still active in masturbation your testicles produces more sperm so it needs sugar and protein to produce a liquid substances wherein your sperm swam. So your brain may senses that during your frequent masturbation or sex maybe, it send a message to your testicles to produce more of these substances. Consequently, to the certain point of time you did not masturbate for along period, the sperm and protein base liquid in your testicles may over reproduce and the tendency of this if you were unable to let it ejaculate, it will accumulate in your testicles and becomes highly concentrated. Subsequently this causes your sperm to look like a jelly - like substance...its normal as long its color varies from white to yellowish and no blood or black or green."

Oh, As for issues with his erections, I am wondering( I have,'t read all of the replies), if he may have watched a lot of porn, that causes desensitization, and problem getting and maintaining an erection, so severe it can take several months of no masturbation, and exercises that are essentially trying to get an erection, from masturbating the penis until it is erect, and then stop without porn, or pornographic thoughts. Though if you can still reach climax doing so once in awhile won't hurt.

Sorry if I sound pretentious, I am just rather bored at the moment.

U a liar i got kids

Can you let me know where did you get reference of this that connects it to prostatitis ? 

Because I have prostatitis and I think the choking of my prostrate is due to this gel like substance.

Just so you all are aware, the gel-like substance is perfectly normal and in-fact is beneficial to procreating.

"Seminal vesicles

The seminal vesicles usually contribute more than half of the seminal volume. Their secretions are particularly rich in a sugar called fructose, which is an essential nutrient for the spermatozoa.

They also produce a substance that causes the semen to clot (become sticky or jelly-like) after ejaculation, thought useful in reproduction for keeping the semen at the neck of a woman's womb."

what are the medicines you have taken....name please???

I Also Smoke Weed Probably 3 Times a week and have the same gelish stuff when I masturbate or even sex but if not everyone that has this problem smokes pot then why is it happening?

who is an anthologist?
