Thick semen can sometimes indicate dehydration or a temporary change in consistency, but it doesn't necessarily affect fertility. If you're trying to conceive, it's important to focus on overall health, including hydration, diet, and timing. If you have concerns, I would recommend discussing it with a healthcare provider who can evaluate your specific situation.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned because after masturbating, my foreskin isn't going back up and it's a little swollen underneath. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing temporary swelling or tightness in the foreskin after masturbation, which can happen occasionally. If there's no pain or severe discomfort, it should improve on its own. However, if it persists or causes more concern, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance.
