Question
Hi, I was told that when you are born as a male you have you father's semen in your scrotum. Then when you have your first ejaculation, you then create your own. Could someone confirm this information for me. Thanks

| You do NOT have any of your father's semen in your system when your are born. You are a product of your father's sperm joining with your mother's ovum that then develops over 9 months into a baby.
At puberty your testicles start to create your own sperm (with your DNA) and these are joined with the fluid from your prostate to produce semen, or the substance that comes out of your penis when you cum or ejaculate.
