It’s probably normal semen you are experiencing. Semen changes consistency from time to time. The color & consistency of semen varies with each person & even over time for the same person. It can appear kind of lumpy & the color can vary –white, gray, clear, yellowish, & even brownish - depending upon a lot of factors. For instance, diet & ejaculation frequency can change the appearance of semen. If you have no other symptoms, a small change in the way your semen looks is probably nothing to worry about. Semen is made up of fluids from several parts of the male reproductive system. Sperm is produced in the testicles & goes to the epididymis to mature. Then it is stored in the vas deferens, a tube over the bladder. At the bottom of the bladder are the seminal vesicles, which secretes an important nutrient for the sperm, as well as most of the fluid semen is composed of. The prostate, under the bladder, secretes about 1/3 of the semen’s fluid. Cowper's glands secrete what most people call "pre-cum." If you’re interested in learning more on semen production & ejaculation go to the Sex Education Web Circle’s site on male masturbation that I like: jackinworld. Thanks for the question!
