Is blood in my semen serious?
January 20, 2008
I have a problem about which I'd like your opinion. And it would make me feel better if you could verify that, as my doctor says, this is common. Frequently, when I engage in frottage (full body grinding, especially dick-to-dick), there is blood mixed in my cum. Never any pain.
I have gone to my doctor(s) about this - I have had medical devices inserted in my pisshole, to see if there is cancer or any horrible thing there; my doctor has told me that this is not uncommon and there is nothing wrong. But it is making me sex-shy. Can you imagine how it would be to see your partner's cum mixed with blood? This has happened to me before, in innocent tearoom sex - how ... shocked and disgusted my partner on the other side of the stall must have been to see blood in my cum! How embarrassed and mortified I was! Luckily my life partner knows about this issue, and of course, we only engage in the safest sex - but even that is daunting. Frottage is our favorite way to get off together, but I shy away from it because it freaks me out to see bloody cum on our stomachs.
Tell me Aaron - is this really a common thing? And what causes it? Can I thicken my blood or something? Take certain vitamins? Any advice would be appreciated, and I would feel better to know that other men deal with this same issue.

Blood in your cum is usually from a broken blood vessel in the prostate. That can happen as a result of the force of ejaculation, but can also be the result of an infection, or even possibly a tumor. If you suddenly finding yourself cumming on a regular basis with a lot of blood in it, see your doctor to make sure that it isn't something serious. If your urologist gives you a clean bill of health, then you don't have to worry. At least not from a medical perspective.
Of course being medically safe doesn't eliminating the stress of a bloody cumshot! There are a few things you can try. For starters, anytime you have a real whammy of a blood orgasm, give your prostate a couple of days to heal back up. The blood vessel will likely heal quickly, but for the next few days you might have more blood in your orgasms. Definitely avoid filming porn movies in the meantime.
You may also want to consider having if the way you were having sex has anything to do with the broken blood vessel. Does it only happen when you bottom? If you haven't cum in a week? Engage in SM? If you find a common factor, experiment to see if you can alleviate the problem. For example, if you only have bloody orgasms if you get fucked after not cumming for a week, having a small jackoff session every few days may solve the problem for you.
In the case of frottage, it is possible that the urethra is becoming irritated and is bleeding somewhat. Try using lubricant next time you rub up against your partner, and see if that helps alleviate the problem. If not, by all means see your urologist for an examination.
All of this assumes there isn't pain involved, incidentally. If you are having pain during a bloody orgasm then you should see a doctor immediately for an examination.
