lately i've noticed that my semen is lumpy and semi-solid. there are pieces in the ejaculation that are like small noodles or tapioca. i'm not sick with STD's either. is this normal?
Semen can change in consistency, depending on your diet, exercise, temperature, etc. You have to remember that this is from your body and can reflect what's going on with you. As long as you don't have any pain, it's fine. It must look scary if it's the first time you noticed a change, but you will live - unless you do have an STD, but you seem sure you don't.
Now get off my exam table and I'll bill you later! :)
You need to take more samples. The more the better while doing this: Roll your Testies with thumb and forefinger with moderate pressure for 30-45 seconds every hour. This will keep em more limber. Word Life.

I've had this too--usually when it's been a week or two between ejaculations. I assume it's just the semen coagulating. After it's happened, further ejaculates are fine.

Now I ejaculate about once a week and it is the usual color. That must be what they mean by "clean your pipes."
Maybe your situation is similar, but it affects the consistency rather than the color.
