sperm count?
OK this may be a dumb/silly question but does the way a man’s semen look give you any clues about his sperm count? My boyfriends is almost clear, thin and runny. He thinks this is caused by a low sperm count (this theory hasn’t been tested.) Just curious.

Comments on sperm count?
It’s not a dumb question.
The ejaculate contains seminal fluid (the clear thin, runny stuff) and the sperm (greyish color, thicker stuff).
The thing to keep in mind is that sperm output is variable and if your bf ejaculates frequently his ejaculate is bound to appear thin and runny.
If he were to abstain for 2 days, chances are his ejaculate would be thicker and have a higher sperm count. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with your bf.
