Dear Dr. Flex, I am a 22-year-old woman who has just started seeing a new man. We were fondling and fooling around recently and he ejaculated while I was masturbating him. I noticed that his semen was liquid, but by the time I went to wash my hand it became very crazy glue-like and sticky. I dont know if it is because air caught it but I have never seen this happen before. I am now worried that he might have a disease which caused it to change. What do you think? H.B., St. Catherine
Dear H.B., There is nothing to really worry about, as your boyfriends semen is definitely not related to any kind of a disease. All human semen has the ability to thicken to a certain extent. This is a holdover from our evolutionary primate ancestry, when a female might jump up after intercourse and run away. Nowadays, it is the male who is more likely to run away, but thats a different story. The solidification of the semen made it stay put in her vagina, improving the chances of egg fertilization. What I am saying is not to make any monkey-like comparison with your new boyfriend, but everyones semen chemistry varies. His is just more glue-like than typical. Its normal and who knows, it might come in handy one day if you need to put a broken vase back together! Thats just a joke.
