Question:

Thanks for writing in and I can certainly understand your concern. Let me first say that you are NOT seriously screwed up. What you are describing in terms of what and how much you're ejaculating is not necessarily that unusual. The amount, color, and "stickiness" of semen varies to some degree among males; even within each of us at different times. Especially as a young man. Whether or not you masturbate regularly, you will produce more semen as you get older. In fact, if you masturbate regularly, it is quite common to see less ejaculate, particularly if your ejaculations are within 24 hours of each other.
The fluid you ejaculate (whether with a lot of force or just a little dribble) is a combination of fluid from your seminal vesicles, prostate, Cowper's gland, and sperm from your vas deferens; add them all together and you have semen. Your body is still developing so it's not really suprising that you don't see a whole lot. You really don't have anything to worry about and there's no need to freak out about being a freak. Whether your previous hernia is actually related to this or not is more of a secondary issue. If it has any bearing at all, it may be more to do with sperm (not semen) production and the force of your ejaculation.
Something else may be effecting your ejaculations as well, and this I'm more concerned about. I know you say that you're too embarassed to talk to a doctor but I think it would be very wise to find one you can trust and try to talk to him or her about this in relation to your medications. You seem to be taking a lot of medications that can significantly decrease your fluid production, not to mention counter-acting one another. You mention taking Ritalin, Methadate, and Concerta. I hope you don't take all of them because they are the same drug! They also require very close monitoring when taken along with Prozac. In addition, taking Prozac and Doxepin seems a bit excessive and there might be a better alternative, depending on the reason for using them. Add in the Claritin and you now have a bunch of medications that will increase your anxiety and tension, significantly raising your blood pressure. This may be why you're taking Clonidine. But Clonidine will also cause constipation, dry mouth, thirst, and general decrease in body fluid production (just like Claratin). It is highly likey that your anxiety, fear, and lack of ejaculation can be - at least to some degree - related to the interactions of your medications. Perhaps one of our MDs on site can comment on this.
If you really can't bring yourself to talk to a doctor about what you're experiencing with your ejaculations, at least think of consulting with a doctor about re-evaluating your medications. Obviously, I can't comment on any condition you may have but the best way to feel better is to get as much information as you can and learn that there is a whole range of conditions and behaviors that are "normal." The most important thing to remember, though, is to not get freaked out about being different. Everybody develops and matures at different rates and whatever yours is is normal for you.
I hope this has been of some help (if not comfort) to you. Do follow up and learn as much as you can about your body and sexual developoment. I wish you all the best.
Take care and be well.
