Sorry potnoodle, I'm afraid they'll have to snip those bollocks right off to cure ya.

Just kidding.  Listen man, you're lucky as heck that you have wet dreams on a regular basis.  Wish I had that problem.  On the other hand - if you'll excuse the pun - why don't you toss off a bit and see how things go.  Masturbation is normal and may help your body adjust to whatever it is it's going through.  If you're young - like under 20 - your body is always rarin' to do to have sex and giving yourself this outlet will help.

In terms of the smell, can't help you there.  Bleachy smelling semen doesn't sound right but then again if you're pumpin' youself full of beer and chips on a regular basis maybe that's the way it's gonna smell.  

Quit worrying about it, you're not going to explode and at worste someone may say, "hey mate, why is it you always smell like bleach?"  Who's gonna know?

Hey id like to firstly thank you for the time it took you to write that message out to me, much appreciated.

Well i dont drink beer and have only ever been drunk once, im 23 and very into bodybuilding and have been for 6 years, my intake of protein is alot, and i dont know if that has anything to do with it, increased testostrone levels etc?

And i wouldn't mind wanking off or having wet dreams, i would wank off every minute of the day if i didn't have that after effect. I always seem to have a wet dream every 12-14 days ive held out aslong as 20 days haha, but i know exactly when its gonna happen, because i can feel it. i appreciate your message, i guess i should stop being a moaner...but i didnt know who to turn to, too embarrassin to ask my parents and stuff.

Yeah, not the kind of thing you bring up with Ma and Pa while passin' the potatoes is it?

If you're working out and taking quite a few supplements, protein shakes, etc., that might be the reason.  Could it be something else by the way?  Like you might be taking so many showers from working out that it could a soap or something.  

Any way, I doubt anyone else smells it and just consider it pheromones or something.  You never know, girls may actually like it as it may have some kind of animal attraction to them.  

Good luck and keep up the health through fitness.

I would just have wank now and again if I was you.
I've had a very high sex drive since I was very young, I never had a wet dream because I started masturbating before I could ejaculate.
Your testicles always produce *** so its got to go somewhere hasn't it, if you masturbate you can 'clean the pipes' on your terms.

Your semen reflects what you eat...

All the body's secretions such as sweat, saliva, urine and your sperm smell and flavor are affected by what you eat.
What goes in comes out and is reflected in the flavor and smell. Ever notice how when you eat a curry with lots of garlic onions and spices how the smell comes out of your skin afterward?
It's also in your semen just as it's in your sweat.
Changing your diet will have an effect on your body's secretions including your semen.
Most techniques or supplements that claim to alter the flavor of semen aim to increase the amount of sugars in it, and disguise the salty bitter taste, but most don’t work, you simply need a change of diet.
The best way to have better tasting semen is the most obvious, a good diet and clean living.

Cut your intake of the following:

Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, junk food with lots of chemicals and preservatives.
You should also limit foods that break down into strong tasting or smelling chemicals that are excreted by the body. Fruits and some vegetables are good, but some are definitely not recommended.
Good examples are asparagus; onions and garlic contain high amounts of sulfur and vegetables from the cabbage family, like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, kale which all add to semens bitter taste.
Strongly spiced dishes, like curries comes out and flavors semen. Of course, you don't want to have a diet all the time just to get better tasting semen, but if you love your partner keep away from the madras curry!
Eat your greens & drink more fruit juice!
A recent study concluded that vegetarians have better tasting semen, which leads to an obvious conclusion.
Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of juice and water (at least two liters a day) to flush out your body.
Eating or drinking pineapple juice is strongly recommended as the best a way to make your semen sweeter.
Citrus fruits and cranberry juice are also good, because they make the body's pH more acidic, which balances the alkalinity of semen which gives it its salty, bleach taste.
All fruits juices and fruits have a high sugar content, so make sure you eat and drink plenty.
Other great foods for better tasting semen
Parsley, wheatgrass, and celery have been recommended for sweeter semen as well because of the chlorophyll they contain.
Cinnamon, cardamom, peppermint and lemon are also great foods for better tasting semen

Okay so if i drink cranberry juice and anything acidic along with my everyday means but avoiding salty foods as much as i can, the smell bleach on my skin will dissapear? i know what you mean... i ate porridge one morning a few weeks ago, and i could smell poddige on my hands for the following few days... i have an odd make up.

thankfully i dont smell like cottage cheese, but smelling like bleach is just as bad, i seriously considered having the snip at my age because its getting me that much... i never thought to use the internet, ive never talked about this to anyone other than my brother, and i just needed a bit of help to be honest, because i dont intend to go round smelling like this for the rest of my life.....

Don't worry, you won't smell this way forever.  And by the way, I doubt the snip will help you as it may not be the actually sperm.  Just because you have the snip doesn't mean you don't ejaculate otherwise noone would get the snip.  

Eat a different diet, consider what supplements you're taking and quit worrying about it.  You're probably the only one who knows and are probably very sensitive to it.  Plus, even if someone does notice the smell they're probably not going to look at you and say, "gee, you smell like bleachy semen you vermin!"
