    Sperm plug question

    So even though I havent seen sperm plugs on my male does that mean he can't pregnate his girlfriend? Theyve locked up several times I just wonder if the magic can still happen without seeing visual sperm plugs.

    It is not likely, but it can happen... Because they can be immature sperm plugs (small ones, not humungous)

    Usually you gauge a sexually mature male by the formation of mature sperm plugs and the change in anatomy (the flower bud into the flower at the ends of the hemipenes), but this is not completely accurate.

    To be apropos but inappropriate, his balls may have dropped, and he is producing things, he may just be shooting blanks.

    He's a 2007 ball. I've seen one sperm plug but havent seen none ever since. God I hope he isn't shooting blanks.

    If he's really a 2007, he should be good and able.

    And you should be able to pop out sperm plugs within a few days of him being alone.

    Double check his sex?

    Re: Sperm plug question

    Man, it makes me wonder if my little lesser is firing blanks. He's in shed right now but I'll pop him when he's done. If I get plugs, how quick does he regenerate them? Throw him back in with the girl right away?

    I have a 4 year old male that didn't hook up with any females yet. I've quadruple checked his sex. I've never noticed a sperm plug, though I honestly don't know what they look like

    I am sure you can google for pics... they just look like a waxy secretion.
