The colour, consistency, amount and taste of semen varies depending on the man’s recent diet, state of health, and even his age. Perhaps you’re overhydrated and should cut back on drinking water. Perhaps you’re not active enough and aren’t perspiring enough to keep your hydration in balance. Perhaps it’s just a natural variation from one individual to another. Perhaps you’re getting older and your semen is just naturally not as thick. There are many causes, many of them temporary but it has almost nothing to do with your potency in getting a woman pregnant. If you’re concerned you can see a doctor and he can order a lab test to make sure you’re fine.
You can’t see the sperm themselves, unless under a microscope. They are microscopic, and even smaller than your skin cells. Instead, you are seeing the semen, which is the fluid that comes out of your penis when you ejaculate, or cum. It contains sperm, but isn’t only made of sperm. You may be ejaculating a lot in a relatively short period of time, perhaps from sex or masturbation. But it’s nothing to worry about.
