Question

Hello! I have a problem that I have never heard or read about. I haven’t discussed with my doctor yet, since it is somewhat embarrassing. Let me tell you then. Whenever I urinate after a long time, i.e. after it has been suppressed for some time, I find that there is a sticky white liquid that comes out with the urine. The liquid is as sticky as semen. Though there is no pain I feel at all, I am really intrigued by what is happening. Is it okay if semen flows out of the urine in this manner? Does it happen with other men also? Let me also tell you that I have never had any kind of sexual contact, so there is no chance of me contracting any kind of sexually transmitted disease. - - - Trevor Cunningham

The Expert's Answer

Hi Trevor! STDs do cause such problems – called seminal drips – but since you have clearly mentioned you have never had any sexual contact, we can rule out that possibility.

Tell me, Trevor, have you been masturbating too much as a child, and have stopped now? If yes, that that could be one reason. Let me explain. When you masturbate too frequently as a teenager, your system gets used to ejaculate more often. The semen amount will not increase, but the biology behind ejaculations will increase. As a result, if you happen to stop suddenly, this ejaculatory tendency will still continue. That is what might be happening. Even when you masturbate and you squeeze your organ at orgasm, you are able to withhold the discharge of semen. But what actually happens at that time is that your semen goes back and settles into the urinary bladder. Next time when you masturbate, the seminal fluid is voided along with the urine. This also answers a very important misconception some men have about it. They think that by withholding the semen during masturbation, they are saving their sperm, but that is not so at all. The semen is thrown own the next time they urinate.

Even if you have not stopped it, seminal emissions may occur. If you have been excessive in masturbation, then there is a very great chance that your parasympathetic nervous system has become damaged. The parasympathetic nervous system signals the prostate gland to hold the valve that releases the ejaculate. But if you have masturbated too much, this system could be impaired in some way. The prostate might not be capable in holding back the semen. So much so, that even in normal situations, it must be allowing the semen to enter into your urinary tract.

I hope now the picture must be clearer to you. Consider this as an alarm bell actually, if you are masturbating excessively. Seminal emissions are generally only a precursor of a host of other male sexual problems. In time, you could be suffering from ED (i.e. inability to get erections), loss of libido and PE. In short, your habit could be taking you nearer to what is commonly known as male menopause.
