Response from Men's Sexual Health:

This sounds like a function of your sexual organs: the prostate produces liquids, as do the testicles it is most probably from them. You have done the right things by going to your sexual health clinic and being checked for STIs and to your GP. If the problem persists and it continues to worry you it might be worth trying to catch one of these lumps in a clean jam jar and taking it to your GP. Yes, this is much easier said than done!

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

During sex our blood pressure rises, this may be causing your headaches. You should visit your family Doctor and talk to him about getting headaches during sex, if you can’t say sex at least say during strenuous exercise and have your blood pressure checked. You should do this as soon as you can.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Thank you for getting in touch with us here at Men's Sexual Health. Firstly there's a wide range of texture, odor, and taste in normal and healthy semen. There is even variation in color, including opaque white, transparent, and yellowish. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as diet, lifestyle and alcohol consumption and even lack of regular ejaculations. This is a common question asked on our Q&A, so please do not feel alone, a lot of men have suffered from this issue.

From our knowledge, sometimes the causes of jelly-like sperm is the massive concentration of protein compound of your sperm in your testicular sperm bank, usually those teens that masturbate actively for years and suddenly refrain from doing it have a greater chance of having this stuff(though its normal). Because during the time your still active in masturbation your testicles produces more sperm so it needs sugar and protein to produce a liquid substances wherein your sperm swam. So your brain may senses that during your frequent masturbation or sex maybe, it send a message to your testicles to produce more of these substances. Consequently, to the certain point of time you did not masturbate for along period, the sperm and protein base liquid in your testicles may over reproduce and the tendency of this if you were unable to let it ejaculate, it will accumulate in your testicles and becomes highly concentrated. Subsequently this causes your sperm to look like a jelly - like substance...its normal as long its color varies from white to yellowish and no blood or black or green.

Some people find drinking more water, drinking less alcohol and masterbating more often sometimes solves the problem.

You say you went for an STI test, did you discuss with the clinic about your sperm issue and what did they suggest? The fact that you are experiencing pain however we would suggest you see you local GP/Doctor to discuss this further to rule out any other underlying condition.

Regarding your white pearly penile papules, the fact you know what they are called shows you have done your research. This are perfectly normal, nearly all men have these, some have more and bigger than others, this are just the glans of the penis and should not be worries about, again the fact you have had a STI test confirms these are unlikely to be anything other than your glans. Please do get back in touch if things don't improve.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Hello the fluid that is coming out of your penis is called precum and is the body's natural lubricant. It is totally normal for a person to have precum when they are with someone they find sexy or read about sexy things. Do not worry, this is not causing you any health problems, in fact it is a very natural and healthy thing to happen. 

If you are feeling tired and weak, look at other aspects of  your life. Are you stressed about work or family? Is your diet worse than it should be? Are you getting enough exercise? These things are more likely to make you feel, weak and sleepy. A few changes to your lifestyle may make you feel a lot better.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Hello, the things you are experiencing are quite normal and really nothing to worry about though I appreciate thats easier said that done. Sperming (ejaculating) at night is a very common experience for a young man, many have found wanking (masturbating) before going to bed can reduce this. 

One question: do you know if your penis is hard when you sperm in the night? If so it shows everything is functioning ok and that it is not a physical issue when you are sometimes not hard when you are intimate with someone. 

When you are with your partner try to focus on other parts of each others bodies, and build up the excitement so it's more exciting for you. Also talk about your worries with them. Try not to let it worry you: its a normal thing and will soon get better.

It is worth looking at your diet, drinking, exercise and stress levels. We need a healthy and fit body to have the best from sex too. See our section with tips of how to manage your health. I hope this helps.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

This is a totally normal reaction to being with someone you are sexually attracted to. The best way to overcome your embarrassment is to smile and talk to your partners about it. Explain that having an erection doesn’t mean you have to have sex but just shows how much you like them. The only thing that may help reduce your erections is to try and think of something non sexy when you feel an erection coming.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Don’t worry it's not harmful: it shows you're young and healthy. You might get a bit sore and tired in time but it's not a problem: just wank/release sperm less if that happens.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

It sounds like your husband has a tight foreskin, you say he can pull it back which is good, a little gentle stretching might help with that, below is the advice we gave to another person with a tight foreskin, we hope that helps. 

However, I would be surprised if this is the cause of your lack of conception and your best course of action is to see your GP. There are several tests that need to be done to check your and your husband's fertility and in most to of the UK, fertility and IVF assistance is free, however the amount of assistance does vary across the uk, but your starting point is your GP.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Everyone goes though these periods and it can be caused by a variety of factors. Firstly talk with your partner and explain this is happening. It's possible life has just got in the way of sex and emotional life and you need to reconnect again; also try focusing on other parts of each others bodies. Try not to let it worry you, its a normal thing, it is worth looking at your diet, drinking, exercise and stress levels. We need a healthy and fit body to have the best from sex too. See our section with tips of how to manage your health. We hope this helps: let us know if the problems persist, or see your family doctor they can help with physical checks and counselling. 

As to your watery sperm, a persons cum can vary in many ways including volume, thickness and colour and is also affected by your diet and general well being, from your description it does not sound like something to worry about.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Hi, this is a totally normal thing to happen and shows that you are healthy and everything is working normally. When we dream our bodies react to the dreams and we can get hard-ons / erections and sometimes ejaculate (sperm comes out) as well. There is nothing to worry about, even if it is sometimes inconvenient. You could try wanking / masturbating before going to sleep this sometimes reduces sperm coming out while you sleep.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

It is very unlikely that you have got infected by HIV, you did everything as safely as possible by using the condom. It sounds like it would be useful for you to practice putting a condom on and wanking / masturbating with a condom as this might help you stay stay erect when using one in the future. If you are still worried about HIV or other sexually transmitted infections you should visit a sexual health clinic or STD clinic. Condoms are often free from clinics too.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

This is quite common, especially in younger men, sometimes it is a bit of precum (a natural lubricant) when you're thinking about sexy things or it can be a full cumming, orgasm / production of sperms. This is totally natural and is nothing to worry about and it will not cause any problems to you later in life. In fact is shows everything is working as it should do in a young man.

Response from Men's Sexual Health:

The simple answer is no. Spunk does contain a very small amount of protein but tiny compared to the intake of protein in a normal diet. You can masturbate without worry: it will not affect your body building.
