Answersemen is actually not white its clear, it only appears white due to its viscosity and the way light is bent and reflected when its fresh ,, as the viscosity of seman breaks down it becomes clear and its ability to reflect light diminishes. note, when a used condom sits for a few hours the contents are clear

this fact is similar to the fact that polar bears aren't white either.. A polar Bear's fur is actually made up of hollow tubes, which look white because each one reflects the light.a

What should a man's 'semen' look like?

Short answer: A sticky, white, milky liquid substance. The typical appearance of sperm is white, with maybe a grey or yellow tint. However semen is not white, it is clear. The viscosity of semen when it is fresh results in light being reflected in such a way that our eyes perceive it as white. As the viscosity of the semen breaks down with time, the semen becomes clear. Maybe try this with a used condom.
