Semen specimen

The clinic where I had my vasectomy had 1 nite per week only for vasectomies. Some of the men were there for their operations and some were only bringing specimens in for checking. One man apparently was unable to find an appropriate sized container and walked in carrying a quart mayonnaise jar. Got quite a few snickers from those of us in the waiting room.

I was at a social services office once on a case. I was talking to the nurse practioner who is a recognized expert in the field of child sexual assault exams. She was getting ready to conduct a class for some doctors on sexual assualt exams of children. The class was scheduled to start in an hour. In all seriousness, she asked me if I would provide her with a semen sample. She said it would be used to demonstrate how to locate semen on skin with special UV lights. I was very tempted to accomodate her, but it felt weird to be jacking off in that type of facility. I was also concerned about word getting back to everyone at work. She was very open about this stuff.

I had to produce a specimen at a fertility doctor's office. They have a private room with a comfey chair and a stash of magazines ranging from playboy and Penthouse to porn. Kinda weird at first but it got kind of exciting thinking about what I was doing. Then I thought about all the other guys handling the mags I was looking at and it got a lot less exciting but got finished with it anyway.

I've never had to do it... in a medical setting, I think it's doubtful if I ever could. Too nervous.

6 months after my vasectomy I had to produce a semen sample to confirm that my sperm count was zero. Went into the local lab and they handed me a cup and point me to the room. They had some Playboys to look at, but I didn't need them. I returned the sample to the nurse and they was it. Didn't think it was a big deal because they see this everyday.

Yes I had once after vasectomy. I had to do it at home but you have to deliover the sample at the hospital within half an hour because otherwise they can't use the sample anymore

No I have not had to give a sample though many of my straight male friends have had to. One of my good friends had problems conceiving so they checked every thing him and her. After tests they found it was her that had the issues. Though, the same couple are now done having kids so he will get the snip. So, I am sure he will be giving samples once again.

Yes, I did due to trouble conceiving. Did it at home with some help from my wife and then drove it to the hospital.

I had it done several times in a hospital. It was a simple procedure. They gave me a specimen cup, the type you use for urine samples and took me to a small, special, examination room. The was nothing out of the ordinary except it had porno magazines to look at while I worked away at providing the sample. It is just like masturbating at home except they discourage use of lubricants as it may interfere with analysis or use of the sample.

I only had to provide a semen sample once ... during a PLAY exam! As I masturbated, the "doctor" gave me an extensive chest exam with his stethoscope. A stethoscope exam is my favorite and the ejaculation was rather intense.

I have provided 3 samples. The first was taken by prostate massage. The dr put me in the knee chest position on th table. His assistant held the cup under my penis and he did the massage. It took about 7-8 min and wasn't what I expected. There was no "ejaculation", just a constant ooze After about a minute.

The other 2 were for artificial insemination. It was kind of embarrassing as there was a waiting room right outside the door to the donation room. I was handed a cup right in front of 3 other couples as my wife and I entered the room. Everyone sitting there knew what you were doing in there. The more I thought about it, the harder it was to get erect so I could get enough stimulation even with my wife providing it. Then, when you got done, you had to walk past everyone with your transparent cup to gone it to the lab tech

I had gone with my girl friend when we went to the gyn to make sure she was would be able to have kids. Then she went with me to a doctor to make sure I could have children and had sperm checked. She also checked to make sure I had on only live sperm but also that I had a good amount. My girl friend had told me not to be "jerking off" a few days before going to the doctor. lol

At my older son's 13th brithday exam, my wife told me that our family docotor recommended a semen sample to make sure his development was normal and my wife agreed. I personally have never given a specimen.

I've had to give a sample a few times as I have a pituitary issue and use androgel and my endocrinologist wants to make sure I'm still shooting "live ammo." It's a bit embarrasing as I have to give the sample at their clinic. They give me a specimin cup and show me to a room with a couch and some "reading materials" to set the mood. Theres a couch in the room but it skeezes me out what goes on on that couch so I just crouch down on the floor. You have to clean your equipment and hands with an antiseptic towlette first then flog the dolphin into the cup. You then walk the sample to the lab, give it to the tech, and you're done.

I've had it done once by a doctor in his office when they thought I might have a prostate infection. He did a prostate exam and really messaged it and then milked my penis until a small amount of fluid came out onto a slide he was holding. The next time it was after my vasectomy. Like some of the other posts I had to collect the sample myself at home and then drive it to the doctors office to be checked. They wanted two samples 3 weeks apart. The first time I wasn't sure how to get the sample to the doctors office so I just put the sample cup in a small brown paper bag and handed it over to the nurse at the registration desk. That was kind of embarrassing but I didn't know the nurse would take it out of the bag and ask me how long ago it was collected right in front of everyone in the waiting room that is right there by the registration desk. The second sample I wrapped in paper towel and then put it in a bag. I knew what to expect so when I handed it over to the nurse I told her it was from 20 minutes ago and walked away quick. She took it out of the bag like the first time but at least you couldn't see what it was being wrapped in the paper towel. I'm glad the vasectomy worked because I never want to go through that again.

I was left on the exam couch behind a curtain to produce mine but could hear both the Dr & nurse the other side

I had to for a kinky exam I had, I loved it.

My experiences parallel others here. Before our first child my wife was getting nervous about not conceiving right away and got checked out and so did I. The procedure was first a prostate exam and then to bring in a sample. Since I was 24, the prostate exam was the first that I recall and the longest one ever (even with prostate cancer later in life). On my hands and knees with a female nurse holding an emesis tray under my penis. The doc probed hard at first, which hurt, and then backed off the pressure and I guess the best way to describe was a rub on the organ. I dripped and drooled from my urethra. I did not become erect but I think I would have if not so initially probed hard and embarrassed. The doc withdrew and the nurse showed him the emesis tray. He said, "Wish I could still make that much." and he and the nurse laughed. I was still drooling and she handed me a tissue to wipe up. The other specimen was collected at home by masturbating and the physician showed me the wiggle tails in his microscope. We conceived shortly thereafter.

I gave my last sample from home. My partner was having trouble conceiving, and thus the request from the clinic for my sperm. I "saved" up for three days, but had my wife fellate me each evening to near orgasm to keep my juices flowing. On the last afternoon, she fellated me to orgasm and then pointed me as best she could into the collection cup, finishing her job by hand. We went right to the clinic with that cup - just a 10 minute ride. Guess the sample was OK!!

Wife and I went through infertility issues several years ago and I had to give several specimens for testing and insemination procedures. The doctors office/lab was a good drive from our house so samples had to be produced at their office. I found it quite exciting because if we were there for an insemmination precedure, as soon as we walked in the sample would be needed. There were always hot young receptionists and PAs walking around so one of them would hand me a cup and take me to a bathroom or exam room. When I was finished I would come out and just hand them the cup. You can see right through the cup and they would sometimes just set it on the counter out in the middle of the office until they walked it into the lab. A couple of time the wife also went into the room to give me a hand, but they were strict about the "cleanliness" of the sperm so they would always tell us she could not suck me.

I've never given a sperm sample. Is this done for another reasons than sperm banks and IVF?

Ive never had to, but have heard stories from several friends about having to provide samples after a vasectomy to make sure the procedure worked. Most times the sample can be obtained at home and driven in within a period of time, but one friend was given option of either going home and returning with a sample the next day or providing it then and there. He didn't feel like making a return trip the next day, so they left him alone in the exam room. He was concerned that door didn't have a lock and so positioned himself, standing, along side the door so he wouldn't be observed if the door suddenly opened and got them their sample. Standing. At the back side of the exam room door.

Yup, twice after vasectomy. Not sexy at all. Provided the sample at home into a urine sample cup and brought it to the hospital lab. A little embarrassed when the tech takes the cup from the bag and holds it up to read my name and see that there was a sample in the cup.

A few months after my vasectomy.. did it at home & drove it over to Urologist office.. Weird experience

I provided a seaman sample after my vasectomy. I had to post it to a clinic and when the lady behind the counter kicked a stamp and placed it on the box containing the sample I thought "you wouldn't be so eager to do that if you knew what was in the box!"

A semen specimen sent by post would be useless to the laboratory. At the worst it should be kept at or near body temperature and received by the lab within one and a half hours.

I dont think either that the lady licking the stamp would be at all concerned even had she known - she wasn't licking the box was she?

This falls into the category of 'Unlikely Tales'

I've given sperm samples as doctor was doing research on sperm counts.

BigK-After a vasectomy, they are looking for sperm period. Dead or alive, if they find sperm after, it didn't take.

Dozerman,

No. They usually require at least 2 samples, more if there are viable swimmers. If the sperm count is very low and they're all dead, they may take one more sample, but dead sperm can't get you pregnant, they're just left in the pipes.

That's why they have you wait at least 20 ejaculations before collecting a sample. My doctor told me that they would sample until they're no sperm.
