what is the deal

[snakeman]

My semen is some what white some times and some times all white.So i did not use lube once and got a sample and looked at it under a microscope and no sperm at all and not a cheap toy it costs $750.


If you wonder y i have a top of the line microscope it is for my reptile lab.

When guys first start ejaculating their semen is usually clear as they have developed the ability to produce seminal fluid (the stuff that carries the sperm) but not have actually started sperm production. There is usually a lag time of a couple of months between a boy's first ejaculation and when he actually starts to produce sperm. My guess is that if you have just started ejaculating that you will need to give yourself some time (a couple of months) for your semen to darken and to actually produce sperm.

As the poster above me said, when guys first start producing semen, there might not be sperm in it, and the semen might be clear.
Its all normal, and it will develop eventually.

Most of the time i can not even see threw it and i started wen was 11 or 10.

well as you grow and develope, your body makes more sperm. you may only be ejaculating semen at this point in puberty

I was always told the semen was clear and the sperm was white hmm.

2 things: First, sperm are actually the smallest cells in the body (and equally curious, the egg is the biggest in the female's, you can actually make it out with the naked eye!). so, regardless of how expensive the microscope you used was, unless it was set to the highest magnification, you might not have been able to see them. Also, since everything there is white, and the microscope you used probably had one of those little white lights to illuminate the slide, all you saw was a white reflection. You needed to add a contrast solution to it to see the sperm swimming.

You're ok, don't worry about it.

I have to know how people know this stuff lol thanks.I am still trying to get a snake semen sample i will need to know that.Also i was not trying to brag i just know somebody would ask what y would you buy that.

LOL! Thanks for the compliment! I love learning, I really like school, so I remember all these things, I have great recall!

You can buy contrast solution at any scientific store, the same places where you'd get microscopes, etc., or online places that sell scientific equipement. Contrast is used in most cellular studies, so there's no need for embarassment as your purchase reveals only your interest in cellular biology in general, nothing *personal*. I also recall that the contrast is called cyan blue.

If you look at semen under the microscope, remember to use just a little bit, very thin, so it's not goopy, which would interfere with visibility and motility (sperm movement).

well you arent fully devoleped threw puberty quite yet once you are u will develope lots of semen your normal dont worry.:D
