I'd make it taste like chocolate. Obviously, God is a man, or that's how it would taste already!

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I'm not really sure. I would make it sparkle — and I'd make it able to be molded and bounced on the floor like a bouncy rubber ball. That would be cool!

It's weird stuff! But ejaculating lots of it is a huge turn-on for me. So one thing I'd change (more for myself) is to increase my cache of ejaculate — probably by 5 or 6 tablespoons. The only other thing I'd change is its taste (which about 98% of us will complain about). I tried it twice — it's awful! I don't know how porn stars (or my girlfriend) could stand that stuff on a regular basis. If it tasted like sugar icing, I'd be eating my own stuff a lot more often. While we're at it, could we make vaginal fluid taste like strawberry sherbet?

I like my semen the way it is, but if I could change it, I wouldn't mind being able to choose whether I ejaculate. So if I had lots of privacy and plenty of time to clean up, I could just go ahead and ejaculate — but if I didn't have the time or privacy I need, I could just not ejaculate at all.

Obviously, the process of human evolution has found no advantage to selecting pleasing semen. Although semen may be a highly refined vehicle for delivering sperm to its target, by any aesthetic measure it's gross, slimy, and disgusting. If I were redesigning the human body, I'd put an extra valve in the urethra that would give a man the choice of letting the semen emerge from the penis during ejaculation, or else redirecting it safely to the bladder for convenient disposal. Better yet, I'd put in a switch that would give a man a choice of whether to produce semen at all — multiple orgasms would become much easier. But barring some breakthrough in genetic engineering, I'll just have to make do with Kleenex.

It's nasty! It's there for no good. Get *rid* of it.

I think it's wonderful to get to the end of a masturbation session. Pumping out semen feels nice and gives you a sense of completion. My only problem with it is that it can smell if not properly cleaned up. It's not a strong odor, but I do notice it and often worry that others around me can smell it, too.
- age 21, California
I hate semen. I always get it on my clothes or something else. I've tried swallowing it, but it tastes bad. I would rather have an orgasm without it.
- age 15, Massachusetts
I think it's the best thing ever to come out of my penis. I love the thick, creamy globs that land on my chest — along with the semen that runs down my penis, gathers on my pubes, and clings to my hands. I love the feel, smell, and taste of my own semen, but I would never touch another person's semen. I especially love semen's smell after it dries in a pair of underpants that I use to mop up. The only change I would make would be to produce as much semen every time I masturbate as I do when I've abstained several days, am extra horny, and then enjoy a prolonged period of playing with myself before I finally climax. An inventive guy could have so much fun with semen that even Martha Stewart might be impressed!

I love the feel of "pre-cum" while I'm masturbating and the feel of semen after I've had an orgasm. I use the semen as a lube, and it feels so great that I go right to it again. The smell is okay. Maybe the smell and the slipperiness are what make it such a great lube. I just wish it tasted like chocolate!
- age 14, California
I would make semen glow in the dark! That would be cool. You would never be caught without a flashlight again!
- age 24, Kansas
Why would I change anything about semen? Mine smells great, I can play with it, and when I'm done, I can eat it! It's like the perfect toy!
- age 16, Texas
I would change the smell, which would perhaps change the taste, because it tastes like it smells. And it doesn't seem to wash off well.
- age 19, Texas (female)
I don't really mind semen. The texture is okay. The only thing I would change is to have it not make white streaks or spots when it gets on clothing. The spots suck, because if a girl is masturbating you and you get semen on your pants, it's obvious that something went on. Plus, it's kind of sticky.
- age 15, Colorado
Semen — wonderful stuff to see, touch, and taste. I love to see it, because when I do, I know that someone has just had a *good* time. If you lose the ability to produce semen, as happened to me in surgery, you'll understand how fantastic it was. Treasure it while you can.
- age 64, Arkansas
I would leave semen the way it is. Whether thick and creamy, or thin and clearish, it's the simplest, purest form of masculinity. And it's disgustingly arousing!
- age 16, Nevada
Semen has always fascinated me. This white, sticky fluid that's expelled from my penis in such a pleasurable way is so special. To think that one of the little sperm swimmers in the fluid can go on and make a human being is the other fascinating aspect of semen. I regularly taste my semen and have noticed that it changes flavor, which is probably affected by what I eat. I would not change a thing — nature is a wonderful thing!

The only thing I would change about semen is its taste, mostly because of complaints from girls.
- age 16, Michigan
My semen is always pinkish in color, sometimes more red — probably due to blood. It has bothered me for a while because I know it's not the proper color. I went to the doctor a few months ago, and he said it happens to some people. They don't know why, and it sometimes goes away on its own. It's been this way for about 8 years and is always in the back of my mind. Tests on it came back fine. It doesn't stop me from masturbating, but I still don't like not knowing what's wrong.
- age 20, Pennsylvania
I don't have a problem with it. I wouldn't change anything about it.
- age 17, Ohio (female)
My opinion of semen is ambivalent. After I ejaculate, I always hate the mess it causes. On the other hand, it gives me a very male feeling. If I could change something, it would definitively be the amount — I wish I could produce more.
- age 35, Holland
How I feel about semen depends on when I think about it. When I'm horny, the thought of it stimulates me. I've even thought about eating some. But once I've actually ejaculated, I become totally indifferent, even disgusted. I like when I can actually project my semen, but that's usually only the first time that day. Afterward, it just leaks out. If I could change something, I would increase the frequency of "shooting it."
- age 15, Canada
I am quite fond of semen's appearance. I feel like a man when I ejaculate it. Sometimes, I abstain from sex or masturbation for a month so the semen will build up. The feeling of having a lot of semen in me is great. If I could change something, it would be the stickiness and staining power. It's hard to clean up. I would also like it if you could ejaculate a lot of it without having to refrain for weeks first.
- age 32, Pennsylvania
I would change the fact that when a guy first starts ejaculating, the semen is not white. That worried me for a while until I talked about it!
- age 13, Washington
I think it's cooler when you get a lot and it shoots all over. It's disappointing when you get just a little — and that's usually the case if you masturbate more than once a day. I know some guys who shoot a long, clear, thin stream first, followed by the thick white stuff, which is really interesting to watch. Another guy I know oozed "pre-cum" for several seconds and then would ejaculate his semen. The whole process seemed like a volcano and was fascinating. I guess the appearance and texture are okay, simply because that's how it is supposed to look and feel, but the smell arouses me highly. My roommate sometimes masturbates a night before I come home, and I can always smell the semen from the paper towel in the garbage can — it's that strong an odor, and it gives me an instant erection. Then, I always have to have a session before I hit the sack.

To me, semen is one of the greatest things to come out of the human body. It's not what the semen actually feels like or looks like, but the sensation while ejaculating the semen. If I could change anything about it, I would change the fact that it prohibits you from ever wearing your favorite black T-shirt.
- age 16, Texas
I like everything about semen — the way it looks and tastes, and the way it feels. What's best, though, is the way it feels when the pressure builds up just before shooting out. I wouldn't change anything.
- age 50, Illinois
I would greatly improve semen's odor. Its texture is pleasing to me — nice and cool. Sometimes I think of it as liquid silk.
- age 13, Canada
Semen and ejaculation still fascinate me. When I was first intimate with my boyfriend, I asked him to masturbate for me so I could see him ejaculate. I don't mind his semen at all — its smell, taste, or texture. I like that it's warm. The only thing I would change about semen is its stickiness and the fact that when it shoots out it can be a little messy — you don't want your parents noticing little stains in your bedsheets or carpet right after your boyfriend has been over!
- age 18, Spain (female)
To me, semen is the best part of masturbation and sexual intercourse for a man. It is what drives the orgasm into overdrive and gives the partner something to anticipate. If I could change one thing about it, I would make it better tasting and looking for eating.
- age 14, Michigan
I love everything about semen, mine or any man's. It's the very essence of masculinity. From the moment it leaves a man's body everything about it is captivating. Its aroma is intoxicating. It has a beautiful opalescence. It has a warm, silky texture. The taste is nothing short of ambrosia. And nothing is more hypnotizing than watching a man ejaculate a forceful load and actually hearing its soft splatter across his body. I think that about covers all 5 senses — who knows, it probably has 6th-sense effects as well.
- age 37, Canada
The only things I'd change are the odor and the yellow stains that it leaves. I love its creamy, warm sensation.
- age 15, Venezuela
Semen is the greatest thing that ever existed! From the anticipation of waiting for it to arrive, to make you a man, to the thrill that it brings at orgasm, to the excitement of seeing it shoot out of your penis with such force onto your body — its warmth, its smell, its texture, its color. All of this says *you're a man!* What could be better? It's all associated with such incredible pleasure!
- age 34, California
Semen is cool. If I could change it, though, I'd have it taste like peaches — all fuzzy. And the smell should be like a cold winter's day. But honestly, I think it's good as it is. I always wish I would shoot it farther and have more of it — 3 times as much. I like it messy!
- age 17, Canada
I've never given much thought to semen. For a devoted masturbator like me, it's been just a by-product of my quest for pleasure. On the other hand, there does seem to be a direct relationship between the number of semen squirts and the length of my orgasm — in which case, I want more!
- age 48, California
Honestly, it depends on the guy. For instance, I was with one guy I didn't really like, and his semen grossed me out! It was watery and what I thought I wanted, but it was just nasty. However, I love the guy I'm with now, and I think his semen is great. It's thicker, there's more of it, and it feels more like "goo" than water. Plus, it doesn't really matter what *his* feels like, because I know that I don't have to do anything with it I don't want to.
- age 16, South Carolina (female)
I would improve semen's taste. I've never tasted my own, but chicks don't seem to like it much. I know there are ways to change this, but most of them involve not drinking any more coffee. That's just not an option for me.
- age 24, California
It would be better if semen did not stain as it does. When I was 12 and began to have "wet dreams" and then later started to masturbate, my mom (it is just us two) knew it. We talked about it — my mom is cool. She said that when I masturbate it would be better if I ejaculated onto a paper towel or napkin so I could throw it away. I had been using my socks, T-shirts, and undershorts. She understood that "wet dreams" were different, and I explained that sometimes when I masturbate it is not planned, so I use whatever is there. She also understood that, but now I keep a roll of paper towels near my bed.
- age 13, Florida
The first time I saw a man ejaculate on my stomach I was in awe! I thought, Wow! So that's what goes on when he is inside me! I love the pungent odor, the warmth, the slickness, and later the stickiness on me. It's like my reward for getting him off in a big way. The amount doesn't matter; the only thing I would change is the taste.
- age 37, Illinois (female)
I like it the way it is. However, if I could, I would be able to shoot out as much as a horse.
- age 17, Massachusetts
If there were one thing I could change about semen, it would be to make it unable to transmit HIV. That would be one less thing for many people to worry about.
- age 23, Washington
Semen is perfect, but I would change this one thing — whenever I masturbate in the shower, the semen sticks to the floor, and it's hard to clean up. So, I would make semen less sticky.
- age 15, Colombia
I love semen — both the sticky feeling and the taste. I just wish it wouldn't stop flowing out.
