Nothing specific: Can be an indication of hydration status, protein content, sperm concentration, etc.

Question 2

what causes a mans cum to be stringy?

Accepted Answer

Protein: Semen is a product of several things.  There are secretions from the testicles themselves, secretions from the prostate and from the seminal vessicles and the cowper's glands along with mucous from the urethra.  All of these have amounts of carbohydrates but the majority is protein.  The protein nature makes the seminal fluid viscid, thick and stringy.  With time it liquifies & stringy.

Question 7

i usually dont get a period with my iud but if my boyfriend cums inside me, dried blood with small clots or white stringy clumps come out a few days later is that normal with an iud? and if its cum how do i clean it out so that doesnt happen?

Accepted Answer

Try condoms first: Since "you usually don't get a period" it is not clear if the source of the "dried blood with small clots or white stringy clumps" is really from your cervix or possibly from his seminal fluid. If you ask him to use a condom a few times, you will perhaps notice a difference; otherwise you may need a gyn exam of your cervix/Pap test or an immediate postcoital exam by a reproductive endocrinologist

Question 8

my partner has clear stringy stuff from his penis when we have sex and horny. but says he doesn't cum is that precum or cum

Accepted Answer

Can't be sure, but: I'd think it is pre-cum. Cum is more often not clear, but creamy. Also, trust his experience about this to be better than worse and if you doubt his honesty - don't have sex. Trust is a big thing and good sex is not possible w/out it (IMHO). That said - pre-cum can cause pregnancy too! Not as likely, but definitely possible. Use condoms from the beginning of sex play.

Question 9

got a thick red line around penis head and i've just looked there are grey spots on the gland when i cum it's also stringy i'm a virgin no sti/std

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: if you are concerned about the issues you describe get examined by an experienced physician. What you describe could all be normal, but it's impossible to tell from the information above.
