Is masturbation making my semen watery?

Submitted by Auntyji on Tue, 06/02/2015 - 17:33
I have been masturbating since I was a teenager. Now I notice that my semen has become very watery and less in volume. Is it because of my old habit? What now? Will I be able to become a father or not? IK (28), New Delhi.

O beta IK, the consistency and volume of semen has nothing to do with masturbation. And neither is it any indication of fertility or infertility betaji. Be cool, puttar!

You see, semen has many components and sperm is one of them. Every time you ejaculate, millions of sperm leave your body. When one of your tiny little sperms meets her egg, you’ve potentially got a baby in the making. Now that happens only when all other factors – yours and hers – are ok.

It has little to do with how the semen feels and looks. If the very same watery semen has a good number of strong enough sperm, then it’s a job well done! That’s all! So please stop blaming masturbation for all your life-long problems, Tsunami included!

Why watery semen?

So what causes watery semen? It could be your food intake, could be too much ejaculation, too much heat for the gonads – testicles, I mean – and it could all be very temporary. So please stop the self-diagnosis and quit worrying about the future doomsday scenario of not being able to father a child.

It could also be some illness. If it continues for long, get a doctor to investigate. It could be something called retrograde ejaculation in which you are just not ejaculating or ejaculating very little. Again, not because you engaged in the national pastime in past times!

Worry not

Waise, why are you guys watching semen so closely? It really is no indicator of your fertility, you know. Let’s say if one is not being able to father a child, that could be due to innumerable medical conditions, not because you were a masturbator once! Ok?

Also men seem to think thicker is better. Arre baba, all we need are sperms, and if they are the healthy little swimmers they need to be, then why worry? Masturbation has almost nothing to do with it, but yes if you are masturbating frequently then each time you do ejaculate the consistency can be different, that’s all.

Fear factor

Now there are somethings you need to watch out for in your ejaculate. Some warning signs – odd odours, odd colours, bloodiness and, as I said before, no ejaculation at all... Varna toh sab theek hai beta.

What I liked to read best is your concern, “Will I be able to become a father?” I completely understand your fears, beta. Usually these fears are expressed by women – that they have to prove something to society, that the pressure of being a mother is huge.

However, as we now know, it can be the same with men. They too need to prove their virility and give mard hone ka saboot, which can range from violence to simply fathering a child! Both, needless to say, very incorrect expectations of masculinity! Wouldn’t you agree?

Chillax and relax

Do you know I have even heard men ask, “Auntyji, I think my blood is becoming thin, is it because of my ‘old habits’?” Just as well, may I add! Arre beta, how do you know what is thick and what is thin? Who are you to decide? So then?

And then there is another one, “My semen has become watery because of masturbation. My bones, haddi, are becoming weak and coming out in my ejaculate!” Sounds ridiculous? It is! Do men ask it? Yes, they certainly do! So now relax, have a laugh and enjoy your body and let these paper ghosts fly away in the wind!
