Dr. Henry Jacobs answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Trauma: when you masturbate, it is traumatic to the urethra and penis and so the semen may not be as liquid and clear. also the emissions from nocturnal release may not have the amount of sperm/ volume of fluid and so are thinner.
