I wasn't sure wether to ask here or in the research forum but I figured I'd get a better response in this forum.

So, how exactly does semen look like? Does it have a particular smell? There needs to be a semen stain in one part of my WIP but I've never seen it and, well, I wouldn't know how to describe it. A little help here?

Oh boy. I'm sorry...it's been so long since I've seen it, I'm not sure I remember.

Okay, okay...I remember. Is the stain dry or are you describing a recent, still wet stain?

Good lord, I can't believe I just asked that question... :tongue

:roll:

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system...

Actually I've heard that semen can really vary a lot just depending on the guy, how fertile he is, what he's eating, time of life, etc. Basically it's kind of a milky-white mucus-ish substance when wet. If you just leave it without wiping up, say on a cloth or something, it will probably dry to look a bit whitish and a little crusty. Actually I would compare it to baby spitup. Haha. Anyways, if you do wipe it up successfully it will dry without leaving any stain behind.

I don't know about smell. That's what I've heard can vary a lot, depending on food.

And if you leave it to dry on the wall, you'll never, ever be able to get it off without ruining the paint.

Or so I've heard... :tongue

I tried to find a clinical image. This is the closest I came--not terribly graphic, but a bit of the source shows.

As you can see, it's very nearly opaque, but not quite. The base liquid is your body's saline, very like mucus. The viscosity--how thick the liquid is--is similar to maple syrup, fully liquid but thicker than any beverage. The smell tends to be almost non-existent unless the gentleman in question has eaten asparagus or garlic cloves in quantity, although if you get your sniffer close enough, you can smell that it's salty. It carries less smell than female moisture.

For your stain, you can now see what it's like wet--not unlike snot in terms of what it might look like on cloth, carpet, etc. Dried without having been wiped at, it tends to be colorless and slightly crusty, and visibly stiffens the cloth it's on. It's extremely agreeable to being wiped up, though, so a dried stain might be no more than a very slight stiffness in fabric.

Maryn, who hopes that's not too graphic (but if it is, kindly delete it)

Thank you very much!!! I think now I have all I need to write that scene!! I was actually kinda reticent to googling it because I figured I'd get my share of nasty porn and... well... I once had a horrible experience with porn and would rather not repeat it ever again in my life. You guys are the best, thanks!!

ETA: just one more thing: does anyone know exactly how long it takes to dry and become em... crusty?

About as long as it would take snot to try. Which by the way, I've never actually timed. :)

It depends on if it's left in a big glob, I guess. :tongue

You certainly do have a way with creating images in the reader's mind. I dunno, is that a good thing?

Maryn, who thinks it is

Thanks for the... ahem... visuals. Now the first time I have sex I'll be thinking of snot. Way to go :ROFL:

Conversely, I will now unfortunately, everytime that I blow my nose be thinking...

Anyway, just cruising through and, my, I must say so much accumulated wisdom on the topic! :D

Just the other day I discovered something that looks surprisingly like semen: sweet vidalia onion salad dressing (If you ignore the black pepper flakes and the lumps of onion in it). Tastes very different though.

As a guy, I find myself strangely wanting to offer accurate information (and most guys could based on pubescent through early adult lives spent in front of a scambled Cinemax channel). However, I also feel like I'd be put into some strange, unknown grouping of folks after whom people look upon with curiosity and go, "Why do you know so much about semen?" Well, since my body dispenses it and since there are plenty of men here who seemed to have shyed away, I'll just throw some things out there and you can sort them out as answers:
  • silverish-white
  • like Testor's model paint or, as someone aptly said, something running out of your nose
  • from fresh fish to windex to brine
  • about six hours, depending on the temperature and the material the sock is made from
  • about 47 seconds if the correct Britney Spears video is playing

If any of my exes had jizz that smelled that good I'd never have let them get away.

Did they drink a lot? Not to get into your personal business but I notice when they drink a lot it smells much worse and if they eat a lot of fruits and veggies the smell is almost non-extinct.

Not that I've sniffed a lot of jizz or anything. I just notice stuff. Yeah. I'm leaving now.

Well, I've never seen a stain it usually got cleaned up before staining happened...

As for a smell, I've always sworn that it smells a lot like bleach. That's right, bleach. Clorox. Bleach. It's nasty.

It looks like a watery creamy pile of goo. Super gross.

Now, a stain I would imagine would come off a little bit different, only because it is exiting a females body, which the temperature of her body may change the consistancy of it a bit, maybe make it thinner, so it usually just looks like a wet spot. If he's shooting directly onto a sheet/bed, I would imagine it would dry and remain whitish and crusty?

God what a disgusting question to ask. :)
