                                            Question : When I masterbate or have sex frequently my semen becomes far less thick and almost clear. Is this an issue for my fertility? If I abstain for a few days it usually goes back to white. This has only been happening in the last 6 months.
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
It does not affect your fertility. 
Detailed Answer:
Hello, this is normal. It is because when somebody masturbates several times in a short time, the only fluid which could be replenished is the prostate fluid which is not thick. However, it does not affect your fertility. If you masturbate a lot, you may see a doctor to see if it is a kind of obsession. Best wishes.
