Is more ejaculate a "plus"?

There's been a debate on this board about how much a man can ejaculate. Do any of the women out there find a larger semen volume a turnon, or doesn't it make any difference?

Makes no difference to my experience whatsoever. But I've wondered what it would be like NOT to have to worry about a wet spot afterwards, so maybe no semen at all would actually be nice. More would definitely NOT be better for me though...more semen, more mess.

I think it definitely makes a difference ... dunno that there's a moment of rawer sexuality. Plus I'm like, jeeeeezus, little old me caused that?!?! The mess can be crazy hot. Of course it's almost impossible to get off of some things, so it's not always so hot the next morning!

It doesn't make a difference to me. Definately not a turn on either way. The more there is - the more mess there is. Thats all to me!!

Question.....U say since the big snip (vasectomy i assume) that the volume had decreased dramatically. Is this normal?? My DF is thinking of getting this done after our baby is born in Oct. Also, when there is less volume does it feel different when you cum?? Like not feel as good. It seems to me when my DF comes and I can tell he had a large amount that the larger amount seems to be when he has a good long powerful orgasm. Is this true?? Thanks

There isn't supposed to be any change in volume, there certainly wasn't for my husband.

Well, I was talking about MY personal experience and seeing my DH's face and it's changing reactions to his pleasure is more of a turnon then watching semen flying everywhere...to ME.

I don't think that it is a plus, definitely not all the time. But, since I am the one who asked the question that started the debate, you could say that it matters to me, but only because I think it matters to my DH.

It doesn't make any difference to me. I've been with men who have ejaculated a lot more than my hubby and to tell you the truth, it just keeps leaking out of me! My hubby doesn't seem to have any more or less than average, I suppose. I know I would hate to be with a man who feels the need to do facials AND who ejaculates especially a lot.

I use to work with some urologists and some of the men would say there was less ejaculate after the vasectomy but not all. The sperm make up a very small amount of the ejaculate because they are microscopic. But some men could tell the difference in the amount. Keep in mind though that most men only ejaculate about a teaspoon so we aren't talking about a lot of fluid. I never had a patient tell me it made any difference in his orgasm. But some would say they ejaculate less fluid. I don't know if that was a reality or they just felt it was different since they had the vasectomy.
