Semen 'fishy smell' comes from prostate
It can be seen that the smell of normal ejaculate semen comes from the prostate, but it is emitted with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. The lack of this special odor in semen often indicates impaired prostate function, and the semen of many prostate patients often does not smell this odor. Smelling sperm is common in prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis diseases, because arginine is one of many components contained in prostate secretions.
The oxidation of arginine must be through the sexual excitement of ejaculation, the prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate gland and the seminal vesicle fluid meet together to produce odor. From this point of view, the smell of normal ejaculate semen comes from the prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid. If there is a problem with the prostate and seminal vesicles of men, the taste of semen may change.
As for the biological significance of the special smell of semen, it is speculated that it may be related to sexual desire and sexual behavior. In lower animals, the information of sexual activity and sexual selection is mainly transmitted by smell; many mammals emit a special smell during estrus to attract the opposite sex.
During sex, many people mistakenly believe that more semen means better sexual function. In fact, male sexual function is mostly related to factors such as age, androgen and estrogen levels, physical strength and mental state, and is not directly related to semen volume.
The more semen you ejaculate, the stronger your sexual pleasure?
According to the normal semen standard, the volume of a man's ejaculation should be between 2ml and 7ml, but the volume of semen is closely related to the frequency of sexual life. For example, some newlyweds have more frequent sex during the honeymoon stage, and the amount of semen ejaculated at the beginning is more, but it becomes less and less later.
The reason is very simple. Although the human body has a strong ability to produce sperm and semen, it can be replenished within 1-2 days after ejaculation. Of course, the lack of semen caused by this situation is not a disease, and there is no need to worry. Prolonging the interval between ejaculation will heal without treatment. A similar situation also occurs during frequent masturbation and nocturnal emission.
