Semen collection refers to the process of obtaining semen from male humans or other animals with the use of various methods, for the purposes of artificial insemination, or medical study (usually in fertility clinics). Semen can be collected via masturbation[1] (e. g., from stallions[2] and canids[3]), prostate massage, artificial vagina, penile vibratory stimulation (vibroejaculation) and electroejaculation.[4] Semen can be collected from endangered species for cryopreservation of genetic resources.[5]

By species

Humans

Methods of semen collection from humans include:

  • Masturbation, directing the sample into a clean cup.[6] This is the most common way to collect a semen sample.[6]
  • Sexual intercourse using a special type of condom known as a collection condom.[6] Collection condoms are made from silicone or polyurethane, as latex is somewhat harmful to sperm.
