Semen is the composite
of the male’s reproductive fluid. Semen is composed
of sperm that are produced in the testicles and transported
through the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles. The
seminal vesicles add the bulk of ejaculatory fluid to
provide the sperm an ample medium to move around after
ejaculation from the body. The prostate gland adds an
anticoagulant to keep the semen from congealing as well
as proteins and hormones that will nourish the sperm
cells. Men who have undergone prostate cancer treatments,
especially the prostatectomy, may no longer produce
semen but experience dry orgasm after appropriate sexual
stimulation.
