Semen Collection
Semen collection refers to the process of obtaining semen from male humans or animals for the purposes of artificial insemination, or medical study. Semen can be collected via masturbation, sexual intercourse, or a prostate massage.
Pronunciation
- /ˈsiːmən kəˈlɛkʃən/
Etymology
The term "semen" originates from the Latin word sēmen, meaning "seed". The term "collection" comes from the Latin collectio, meaning "gathering together".
Process
The most common method of semen collection in humans is through masturbation. This involves the manual stimulation of the penis until ejaculation occurs. The semen is then collected in a sterile container.
In some cases, semen may be collected during sexual intercourse using a special condom known as a collection condom. This condom is designed to collect semen without affecting its quality.
For animals, the most common method of semen collection is through an artificial vagina or an electroejaculator.
