Q: Semen Color Question--need Help

I'll start off by saying I don't know much about sex or anything related to it so I might have some stupid questions but I want to know.

What color should your semen/sperm be? In porn videos it is always a very strong white and a thick substance. Mine is a clear yellow color every time, it has always been that way. Mine is also, well, not exactly watery but much more of a fluid liquid than it appears in porn. I'm really concerned on this. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this or if this could be a big problem. I guess i'm wondering most if this some type of infertility.

I guess my second question is how often should a person masterbate? Is it bad to not masterbate at all? I wasn't going to ask this but since i'm putting in the first question i'll tag this along also. I never masterbated until a few months before I turned 21. I'm wondering if that was a bad thing?

Obviously i'm very concerned about the first question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. And also if I double posted this, i'm very sorry, the first time didn't seem to work so I don't think I did but maybe.

There's really nothing to worry about regarding both of your questions. In regards to semen, everybody's semen is different. There really is no specific colour or consistency that it's meant to be. If it's yellow, it means there's some urine left in the route that your semen takes out of your body; you might want to go to toilet a little while if you're being given oral sex so it tastes better, but in day-to-day life it doesn't matter.

As for the masturbation frequency, again, that's just up to each individual. Masturbation is said to be healthy for you, but then there's nothing at all to even remotely suggest that not masturbating is, retrospectively, bad for you. So in both cases you have nothing to worry about :)
