A 27-year-old member asked:
What is the consistency of normal semen?
1 doctor answer • 6 doctors weighed in
Dr. Kanthi Narra answered

Varies: It is sticky to watery in consistency, there is a wide variation here.
Semen clots almost immediately after ejaculation, forming a sticky, jelly-like liquid. It will liquefy again in 5 to 40 minutes. It is quite normal for semen to form jelly-like globules and this does not indicate any health or fertility problem.

A 24-year-old male asked:
Is it normal for my cum to always be so thick/lumpy? My friends cum is more watery.
1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in
Dr. Lawrence Yeung answered
Urology 17 years experience
May be infection: Some people have lumpy or think seaman my others have watery semen. It really just depends on how frequently you ejaculate. But sometimes an infection of the prostate can cause lumpy semen. If you have any pain associated with this, then you should see a doctor for prostate exam and urine culture.
