Question:
I am 25, and I have been noticing for a couple yeras now that my ejaculation has little worm-like jelly globules mixed in with the fluid. I've done my own little experiments and found that they are tangable jelly entities even when removed from the semen, and actually keep their shape for quite some time before soaking into a harder crust form on a soft tissue. Sometimes my semen is even an off color yellow. IS THIS NORMAL? Q#2: Does the amount of fluid ejaculated during/after orgasm have a direct correlation with your sperm count. If so would I be able to increase the quantity of semen through the same methods used to increase sperm count. Q#3: I sent you a question regarding worm-like jelly globules in my semen before reading that you had answered a variation of that question as it delt with abstinence. I have an embarrassingly low amount of semen ejaculate on a regular bases (sometimes none), so I sometimes force myself not to have any kind of sexual stimulation for periods of time so that my semen supply can theoretically build up...most times to no avail. The longest I've ever abstained from ejaculation has been between 2-3 weeks. Is that enough time for something of this nature to appear. Not to sound ridiculusly "male" about this, but is "regular-ejaculation" a "cure"? And what about that part where you said just as long as there's no blood in the semen... during a really intense session I recently (recently meaning a week or two ago) noticed blood for the first time in my semen. I am 25. I read in the Merck Manual of Medical Information: Home Edition that science could not yet explain this "phenomenom" of bloody semen, but NOT to worry about it anyway. WHO IS RIGHT? Could it be my diet? Q#4: Could the answer to my question about increasing semen quantity be in my diet too? I mean just how is it humanly possible for someone to have so much semen/sperm ejaculate that it produces the "shooting" effect, and some (I) have virtually none? Are there books that I can read on this dysfunction? This may sound petty to guys who don't have this problem, and never thought of their ejaculation as anything noteworthy, but I would be willing to pay for a normal "healthy" ejaculation. Q#5: My buddies joke about how good oral sex is for them, but the head of my penis is so sensitive during oral sex that it feels like I'm going to urinate. When I tell guys this I get answers like ,"That's just how good it is" or "Your confusing the feelings", but I'm deftly afraid to let loose and find out. Have you ever heard of such a thing as oral sex bringing on actual urination? I know...the five questions I asked make me sound like a basketcase...thanks for all of your assistance...these questions really are too embarrassing to ask my urologist face to face. Incase you need any medical history on me for an answer, I did once have to visit a urolgist after I urinated blood once. Every 15 min. or so for about two hours one night in Oct. 1998. I was a student working at Staples at the time and didn't have any health insurance. I went for the initial exam, and got a prescription for penicillin. But at $70. a week for four weeks, and a $50. return exam at the end of the month it became too much money to spend. I bought the first three weeks of medication, then stopped and never went back.

You have many concerns about your ejaculate, but nothing about your semen seems abnormal. If you talked with a urologist about all your anxieties and he or she found nothing wrong physically, then there should be nothing to worry about. If you cannot stop worrying about your ejaculate, you will need to talk again with a urologist and then with a qualified counselor.
