Once you begin to ejaculate you produce sperm. I was 12 when I did.

When you cum, it isn't always sperm though. When it's white, that's probably when you start producing sperm.

Normally you're starting to ejaculate when you're producting sperm, so from the first time on you had cum when masturbating you most certainly had sperm in it

My apology if it is a bit long. Hope it helps. :D

They exist since we were still babies but these cells were still inactive.
As a boy starts to get into the phase of puberty (with testosterone level firing up), basically, the inactive sperm cells start to multiply by a process known as mitosis and differentiate into the image of a sperm cell that we all know (like a tadpole).

Now, to ensure the survival of sperm cells and a better element to allow them to flow into, there is the seminal liquid. Basically, this liquid consists of fructose (energetic source for the spermatozoa), seminogeline and lactoferrine (which gives that coagulation aspect upon ejaculation), prostaglandins (help in the progression of the spermatozoa in the vagina) and flavine (which gives the yellowish colour of sperm, well for most guys sperm appears more whitish than yellowish and it's totally normal).

It is quite normal for semen to start clear, go through a phase of having a mix of white and clear and finally end up consistently white. That is what happened to me and other people have reported the same thing so there is no need to worry.

Interestingly I did see a study, I think from Eastern Europe, that said that sperm count can start low and increase to normal adult level over about two years from first being able to ejaculate. Unfortunately I stumbled on the study by accident and Google is not helping but Google did find articles associated with cancer treatment. Essentially if a guy is to be treated for cancer in a way that may affect his future fertility he may be offered a chance to have some of his sperm frozen prior to the beginning of treatment and the clinics seem to take the view that if you can ejaculate they'll collect the sample and see what they've got so any guy who can ejaculate should think of his semen as potentially containing sperm and, if he has sex, take precautions accordingly.

Despite this colour is not a guide to sperm count. if it was it would save the labs some work! You can verify this for yourself by asking a man who has had a vasectomy if his semen became clear after the op. Also consistently white, thick semen will turn runny and clear if left for a few minutes and the sperm certainly have not evaporated. It has even been suggested that this whole thick-thin mechanism is such that being thick immediately upon ejaculation helps the semen stay in a vagina long enough for the vaginal muscles to close (after the penis has been withdrawn) and then it becomes thin so the sperm can swim more easily.

Thanks man, I am trying to controlling my masturbation. I masturbate 4 times and I am trying to stop. Also, do some people have clear semen too.

There is no harm in masturbating as much as you want to provided you still have time to do the other important things in your life.

No. There is a relaxed, even sleepy feeling immediately after orgasm, due to a release of other hormones. You can understand how, long ago when our understanding of hormones was in its infancy, this could be mistaken for lowered testosterone and you can see why sports coaches would be concerned if guys were relaxed like that when they should be worked up before a game but in practice this "afterglow" or relaxed period is fairly short lived, probably from five to twenty minutes. One thing it is good for, though, is getting to sleep which may explain the popularity of masturbating before bed.

To be honest, I'm not really sure. (I'll have to see it to know but I won't ask for pictures, I'm sorry)
The liquid is definitely seminal liquid and the 'some white' part, perhaps, is the coagulant aspect of the sperm with some small concentration of sperm cells.
You might have sperm cells but to a very low concentration since you're still at the start of puberty (=lower concentration of testosterone at the moment = reduced sperm cells division and maturity).
Try not to masturbate for 24h and see if your ejaculation gets thicker than normal.

It's something interesting what you've put forward and is keeping me wondering.
I'm pretty sure that it won't remain clear though since the seminal liquid will still contain chemical compounds such as seminogeline and lactoferrine which give the sperm that coagulant aspect along with flavine which gives it a yellowish colour.
For those who are still at the start of puberty, perhaps those chemical compounds haven't yet been stimulated to be released as much as in mid-puberty guys or later.

Honestly, I really like the way you think and write. I agree to pretty much of what has been said but
Testosterone is supposed to boost muscular strength. This is the main reason why coaches disagree with players having sex and stuffs before games.
Note: many professional athletes usually take testosterone supplement to enhance their performance which is obviously labelled as doping.

Semen = seminal liquid which may contain spermatozoa.
You do have semen since earlier you've said that when you ejaculate, a relatively clear liquid comes out with some white aspect. This is semen.

This forum is a nice place for teens who need help and I like it. Without this place, I would be scared and be nervous, but thanks to you folks, my anxiety is starting to disappear. I know that color of semen doesn't affect the sperm count, but I am going to turn 14 in a couple of months and I am just nervous that I might have any sperm at all. When I ejaculate, I get really confused if it's precum or semen, but how do we check if we have sperm. Also, I got one about erections. Usually, I don't get erections, but when I only masturbate I get erections. Is it due to the cold air, because we are having winter and I barely get any erections or my erections disappear soon after. Is there something wrong with me, or is it due to climate?

P.S, forgive me for this huge paragraph, I am really curious and I am also sorry, if I bug you guys a lot!

Precum and semen:
Precum is just the liquid which is clear when your dick is being rubbed, etc (many guys here refer to it as 'natural lube' when they masturbate) but it is mainly an alkaline liquid which helps to decrease the acidity of the female vagina and also to moisten the urethra slightly to ease the rush of semen during ejaculation.
Semen is what is described above in the thread.

How to check if we have sperm:
As mentioned by a poster above, laboratories experiments will certainly help for a sperm count. But by yourself, it's quite difficult to judge (thickness of the semen might be an indication)

Erections:
Erections are mostly due to nerve signal in the brain.
When an hormone (noradrenaline) is released, it causes the relaxation of some fibres in the penis causing blood to fill some cavities inside the penis. There is an increase in pressure which causes the constriction of some veins in the penis causing blood to be trapped and hence, causing an erection.
So, when something has triggered your brain to get horny, it causes all the stuffs above and you get an erection.

Erection and winter:
Well. During winter, obviously it's cold. To avoid loss of heat through blood vessels, those blood vessels closer to the skin undergo vasoconstriction (they are like short-circuited and deviated by some other "routes" deeper in the skin).
Since there is a reduced blood flow to the skin/ending regions, erections are more difficult.
Also, the body will try to stimulate some particular muscles to cause shivering and hence increasing the overall body temperature. So, the brain at that moment will lay more emphasis on the muscles to cause shivering rather than the muscles of the penis to cause an erection.


Sometimes, my voice cracks, I guess when I yell or talk to my mom. I have armpit hair and I a lot of pubic hair, which I trimmed. Someone told me that semen color doesn't affect sperm numbers.
Yeah sperm colour may not be a proper indication for sperm count but the thickness of the semen can surely be one.
Armpit and pubic hairs are among the first indication of an increase in testosterone level. You're on the right track, man.

Unfortunately, while the Internet is a great resource there is a great deal of misinformation out there too. Some religions have very restrictive views of anything sexual including, or sometimes especially, masturbation and years ago (1700s to 1800s) the medical community even mistakenly joined in. The legacy of that time is still around and some people continue to peddle this point of view. Medics these days regard it as normal and at worst harmless, at best even good for you - one study found that ejaculating at least every two to three days (more often is fine) as teen and young man had a protective effect against prostate cancer later in life and many people extol the virtues of knowing your own sexual response. It is also almost universally practised.

That's right. Confusingly pre-cum is clear and when first starting to ejaculate semen can be clear also. The key to telling the two apart is timing. Pre-cum, if you see it at all, oozes out while you stroke and you may not feel it come out at all - you may first notice it because there is a small bead of it at the end of your penis. The ejaculation of semen, by comparison, is usually accompanied by the feeling of orgasm - something you could hardly miss as it is intensely pleasurable.

Finally, I found a reference to the study I mentioned previously. It is called "Semen Characteristics in Pubertal Boys" by Z. Janczewski and L. Bablok.

You just have to assume you do. That is based on the fact we know that the vast majority of guys who have the other signs of puberty (hair, testicle and penis growth, ejaculation, height growth, voice change etc) don't have a problem with becoming a father when they want to and, for most guys, that is the only definite confirmation they will receive - when their wife or g/f becomes pregnant with their first child.

Comforting as it may be to be tested prior to that neither national heath provision such as we have in the UK, nor insurance companies are likely to pay for that. You could, of course, examine your semen under a microscope yourself but I don't recommend you do that that because, if you should try and don't see any sperm, it is far more likely to be due to lack of expertise in using the equipment than be a genuine negative result.

Sperm cells are continuously being made in the testicles throughout life, though the rate will decrease when we get older (like over 40s).
But if somebody masturbate 3 times a day, he will use up lots of sperm cells which we in stock for the day/period. So he will notice a lower sperm count or a clearer semen compared to someone who masturbates less often.

I just noticed this. By "inactive sperm" I assume you are referring to "spermatogonium". These do indeed divide by mitosis (the normal cell division mechanism) and this the mechanism by which the spermatogonium never run out but it is not the critical mechanism which is unique to sex cells. After this there are two rounds of meiosis and then some further development. For anyone really interested the Wikipedia article on Spermatogenesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogenesis) is very detailed.

An analogy came to mind for this one....

Imagine you have a tap, a sink and a jug. You put the plug in the sink, hold the jug under the tap, over the sink, and turn the tap on (reasonably slowly). The continuously running tap represents the testicles continuously producing sperm and also the accessory glands producing the other liquids that make up semen. Now from time to time, but always before the jug is full, you empty the jug into the sink but put it right back under the tap again - this is equivalent to ejaculation.

What you would notice, if you did this for real, is that how often you empty the jug affects the amount of water you are emptying out each time but it doesn't control the tap and no matter how often you empty it, or how seldom, the sink fills at the same rate - the rate the tap is flowing at.

And so it is with ejaculation frequency. The more often you ejaculate the fewer sperm, and the less liquid, will be in each ejaculation but averaged over time the rate at which you are ejaculating sperm will be exactly the same - the same rate at which your testicles are making them.

Good that you pointed it out. Perhaps I didn't use the proper term. I meant 'immature sperm' instead of 'inactive sperm'.
Maturity of sperm cells starts at puberty.

Usually around 12-13 but guys maybe late bloomer or early bloomer so vary by person.

Hey, nice to see an Albertan here!

A male begins to develop sperm and semen around 12-15 years of age. That could also occur sooner or later than that timespan. It all depends on your chemical make-up. I think it started around 13 for me.

Yea I'm 13 and a half and mine is still like water. Like thicker sticky water. It isn't white like in porn.
Mine hasn't changed in like a year
I don't care if it changes to white but I keep wondering if it will
My friend said sperm makes it white and if mine is still clear it's just semen
But idk if that's true

Your friend is right, sperm is what makes the white tint. However it is possible that even though yours is watery it contains some sperm, just not enough to actually notice. Btw yours will likely change to thicker and whiter as you advance into puberty, give it some time ;)

Mine's thicker and whiter than even a few months ago. I can make a baby -- weird :yes:.

Mine was like that too. It started turning white a year ago after I turned 14.
