Q: i ejaculate normal colored semen. but after several days of drying up it become yellowish/brownish in color is it normal for semen to change color after drying? i am otherwise very healthy and have no symptoms at all?

: The color change is oxidation of the lipids that semen is rich in. This is a normal process of exposure to atmospheric oxygen. I am curious about your desire to collect and hold onto ejaculate ? Is this a scientific project on your part ?
