Question
I was masturbating and when I ejaculated I noticed it hurt slightly, and while normal cum came out so did a thick snot-like yellowish gunk with it. Is this normal? Or do I need to be worried?
Answer
Variations in color, texture and thickness of ejaculate is normal. If you are having fevers, pain with urination and difficulty urinating, then you should see a physician. In general, what you describe sounds within the range of normal.
