semen

Sperm's transport medium

Semen is the whitish fluid ejaculated from the penis during orgasm, containing sperm and various secretions.

The word is clinical and neutral—the standard term in medicine and biology: a semen sample, semen analysis.

Cruder alternatives like cum and jizz dominate casual speech.
