Honestly, I noticed something weird happening after sex lately. Like, not much coming out, you know? Felt kinda off and got me worrying. Figured I wasn’t the only guy dealing with this, so I decided to dig in and see what’s up.
Starting Out – Paying Attention
First thing I did was just pay more attention. Like, really notice what was happening during sex and right after. Started keeping a little mental note, then actually scribbled stuff down on my phone:
- How often was I doing it? Turned out way more than I thought, sometimes multiple times a day.
- Was I peeing a lot? Yeah, actually, especially after coffee or beer.
- Did I finish feeling kinda rushed or stressed? More often than not, yeah. Work stuff hanging over my head.
Just tracking this basic stuff for a couple weeks made me realize some patterns.
Trying Stuff Out – Changing My Routine
Okay, seeing those patterns, I tried tweaking things based on common stuff I read about:
1. Slowing Down: This was hard! My brain kept racing. I actually set a reminder on my phone to just breathe deep for a minute before starting anything. Focused on chilling out, not rushing to finish.
2. Cutting Back: Honestly, this sucked at first. Went from several times a day to maybe once a day, then sometimes skipping a day. Tried to make the times I did do it last longer and be more relaxed.
3. Drinking Water, Less Beer/Coffee: Drank way more plain water. Tried cutting my coffee down to one cup instead of three, and swapped some beers for water when I was out. Peeing felt a bit less urgent after a while.
What Actually Seemed to Help (For Me)
After messing around with this stuff for a month or so, here’s what really seemed to make a difference:
- Spacing It Out Helps A LOT: Seriously, just giving myself a break for a couple of days made a HUGE difference in how much came out. My body needed time to refill the tank.
- Stressing Less is Key: Easier said than done, but when I managed to unwind properly before sex, not only did I enjoy it more, but the amount was noticeably better. Rushing = way less.
- Hydration Matters (But Not Flushing): Drinking enough water overall helped, but peeing right before sex, especially if my bladder felt full, seemed to make a difference too. Less stuff pressing on the pipes down there.
Bottom Line
Most of the reasons why guys get less semen seem pretty ordinary. It’s usually not some huge scary problem, just how often you’re doing it, stress levels, and basic stuff like hydration and taking a piss beforehand. Paying attention and making small changes made a big difference for me. Doesn’t mean there can’t be other reasons, but starting with this stuff is usually worth a shot. Takes time and noticing your own habits, though.
