Jelly strings and shooting

I’ve made jelly-like strings in my semen ever since my first ejaculation. Held off on asking this for a long time.. But what are these? Sperm don’t need food (I guess) so are these extra and unhealthy? Also, I think these are why my cum shots just plain suck. The surely add weight, which probably makes it harder to shoot.

I get them sometimes. I think they might just be to do with the amount of water you drink (too little), but I’ve never tested that idea on myself so I can’t say for sure. I did here somewhere about them being normal, so we’re ok, I hope! :p

Prove my idea wrong by saying you drink loads of water and then I couldn’t say what the cause was. But I’d bet you could find out with Google.

I found this with Google, but unfortunately no explanation. It does say its completely normal however.

Actually, I drink plenty of water (around two full pitchers of filtered water a day). And I don’t get them on occasion, they’re always there.

Thanks for the help though! N.n I’ll Google it right now.

Are you talking about the rope effect? Here is a supplement advertized to increase this effect:

“The “ropes” is a term coined in France several decades ago as “les lianes”. It simply describes the appearance of streaming ejaculate.”

No. There are little visible jelly strings in my semen. The semen isn’t sticky, but these are. I wish it was the rope effect though. :P Sounds like that video where the guy gushed around a pint. :X

No, not the rope effect. Jelly-like lumps in ejaculate that often form in strings.

Do you know if that ropexpower stuff work though, gprent?

Don’t worry about it.

There are large differences in ejaculate consistency among us all and sometimes they change from time to time for us.

There is a fertility theory that extremely thick semen can make conception more difficult (to oversimplify, sperm have a more difficult time fighting their way out of the seminal vessicle fluid portion, the thick stuff, to reach an egg) but ONLY if the semen does not liquify within the normal 20 - 30 minutes that it does, so don’t panic about that aspect.

Another theory, and a possible advantage for you, too, is that ropier semen makes for a more intense orgasm because the shaft and urethra are further stimulated. This is difficult to measure I would think, orgasmic intensity being fairly subjective - a “dynamite” orgasm for you being sort of ho-hum for me, or versa visa.

Just read your last reply. Jelly-like, or ropey, or Jello clumps but not ropey. It’s all normal.

Heh, well the fertility thing is definitely not a concern of mine. Considering no orgasms I’ve had can beat the intense feeling I used to get before I was able to cum, I don’t think the feeling matters for me. It’s more the visual. I can’t shoot with all these clumps. The farthest I’ve gotten is about 3-4 inches, and that’s only with intense hand-motion.. So that’s adding distance.

Pretty much stating that I want them gone so I can shoot and have thick cum, rather than gooey strings and watery cum. I read on one of the Google places about some antibiotic that MIGHT clear it up.. But they didn’t give a name and recommended going to the urologist.

How much water, how you eat (nutrition), lots of things can affect that. If your partner doesn’t like the taste of your semen, eat a couple sticks of celery and wait twenty minutes! Totally different. They will tell you it’s sweeter. Just what you eat can have a big effect, but a whole book could be written about that stuff.

Nope, have no partner. I’m aware of flavor-enhancing and I’ve had a few different diets (I was vegetarian for a while.. And my semen still made clumps). I currently don’t eat beef, pork, or any of those odd meats. I’m, a seafood and vege guy with some birds thrown in. I haven’t noticed any change in the strings.

If they’ve been there since you were first able to ejaculate, then they’re probably normal for you. Have you tried edging to build up some seminal fluid before ejaculating? That might make a difference in how it looks.

Edging really doesn’t do too much for me except make me louder. X.x; Heh. So there’s pretty much no way for me to rid myself of them? :( I’ll probably have to take expensive supplements to do that then, right?

I don’t know what supplements that would be KC.
