As "clean" as the person it comes from

Besides sperm, semen is made up of 65 per cent of fluid from the seminal vesicles, 30 to 35 per cent from the prostate and 5 per cent from the vasa. Semen contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc. The amount of semen produced varies from a few drops to about 6 ml.

One amount of ejaculate may contain between 40 million to 600 million sperm depending on the volume and the length of time stored before ejaculating. Yet, the quantity of sperm produced will only cover the head of a pin. Samples used for medical study are obtained by requiring the donor to masturbate, or if a sample cannot managed without intercourse, then non-reactive condoms can be used.

Normal Semen:
The Look: Semen is usually a cloudy white fluid that within 30 minutes becomes runny and clear.
The Smell: Chlorine type smell in semen is normal.
The Taste: Slightly sweet due to fructose. The taste of semen tends to change slightly from person to person.

Red or Brown Colored Semen
If your semen is stained with a red or brown colored fluid it may be caused by blood. Sometimes a small blood vessel may burst when you ejaculate. Within a day or two the semen should return to its normal state, so there should be no need to worry. If it continues then you should see your doctor. Blood in semen may be present for many different reasons, such as infection, trauma and sometimes, but rarely, cancer.

Yellowish or Green Colored Semen
Normal semen may have an off-white or yellow hint to the color. Where semen is uncharacteristically yellow or greenish in color it is a sign of infection, often due to a sexually transmitted disease called gonorrhea. Go to your local STD clinic. If it is gohorrhea, treatment is simple with the use of antibiotics.

Foul Smelling Semen
Foul smelling semen is nearly always a sign of infection.

...all the best.

Yes it is!

It is manufactured "clean" to provide the best chance for the sperm to survive and inseminate a lady's egg so a baby can be made.

Vaginas are also clean... (self cleaning actually), the perfect chemical balance for semen, for all the same reasons.

Actually gazpacho is worng, the vagina is not the perfect chemical balance for semen, it is much too acidic, that's why when a woman ovulates she secretes cervical mucus to protect the sperm form the acidic environment of the vagina. Often women can't get pregnant because they dont produce enough cervical mucus to protect the sperm.

But to answer you question yeah sperm is pretty clean but it can make quite a mess.

If you mean in the religious sense, there are two schools of thought.

Baha'i Faith "God has comman6ed that liquid semen is ceremonially pure."

http://williamcareylibrary.gospelcom.net/thebahaifaith/Appendix-1.htm


The Ananga Ranga "Finally, there is nothing offensive in his Kama-salila or semen."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/sex/ar/ar.htm


"..these are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone made unclean by an emission of semen, for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with a discharge, and for a man who lies with a woman who is ceremonially unclean." Leviticus 15:25-33"
