This is from a family planning website. Here is the link: http://www.fpahealth.org.au/sex-matters/faq/sperm_20030303.html Semen is made up of sperms( male sex cells) surrounded by seminal fluid. The seminal fluid is made up of secretions from the various male sex glands and contains all the ingredients necessary for the sperm's survival in the female genital tract. These glands also make the substances which give the semen its characteristic "ammonia-like" smell. The volume of semen ejaculated varies from man to man and is maximal after three days abstinence- with an average of about 3 mls a time. The look and consistency of the sperm is all designed to increase the chances of pregnancy in a female sexual partner. When it is first ejaculated semen is a thick, milky to yellowy fluid with a slight opalescence. The yellowy pigments (flavines) are made by glands called the seminal vesicles which sit just behind the bladder and are often seen,if you look closely, as coloured streaks within the semen. Just after ejaculation, the semen is usually quite thick and often has visible clumps.It contains sticky proteins which almost immediately cause the semen to form into a thick gelatinous clot.This is all designed to keep the semen high up inside the vagina instead of running back out through the vaginal opening. By about 5-20 minutes after ejaculation, other enzymes will start to break down proteins in the seminal clot and the semen liquefies again, allowing the individual sperm cells to continue on their journey.

Does seminal fluid from the male have to be thick in order for the female to become pregnant?
No. Normally, semen thickens when it hits the air and gradually becomes watery again. However, how thick it becomes after ejaculation can depend on a number of factors, including the man's diet. None of these factors affect how fertile the semen is. Fertile semen can range anywhere from clear and watery to chunky and white.
Can frequent prostate massage cause thick semen?
No. Prostate massage removes the build up of prostatic fluid, which mixes with semen, but does not cause thickening of the semen. Thick semen is due to not drinking enough water, or blood flowing back into the scotum, which is caused by vericoseles.

Can men fart semen naturally?
The man's reproductive organs that porduce semen are in no way connected to the anus or digestive track. Whatever it is that is coming out the anus that's not feces has to be digestive juices. Or are you asking if it's natural to fart semen. Ok, so having semen in one's anus is not natural because that's not where it's supposed to be therefor farting semen is NOT natural.Without being judgemental about you in the slightest I'd simply answer that the only way that you could fart semen out of your backside is if someone has deposited it up your backside. Your own semen won't get there unless you put it there.
Why does a man's semen turn from thick and white to clear and fluid-like within ten minutes?
