When a guy cums, how much semen is there?
When a guy ejaculates (cums), he typically releases about a teaspoon of semen. If he ejaculates often, the amount usually decreases. That's normal since it takes about five to seven days for a guy to produce a complete ejaculate. If he ejaculates often, he would not have had time to build up the supply, so less will come out. But there will always be some fluid released; so remember, it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg!

Less than a teaspoon

When I cum during masturbating which I do almost everyday,
semen is usually less than a teaspoon. Is there anything
abnormal?

Pornography is designed for adults for entertainment
purposes (and is therefore illegal for anyone under the age
of 18 to view in the U.S.). It is not just possible, but
very likely that what you saw was fake, which is why Sex,
etc is constantly trying to spread the message that porn is
not for educational purposes. We feel teens need honest,
accurate sexual health information. I'd encourage you to
talk to a trusted adult about what you saw and get their
opinion on the situation as well.
a lot more

I saw a video online with a guy who had the biggest penis
I've ever seen. He came and it was an unreal amount. It was
really gross, but it was way more than a teaspoon. Could it
have been fake?

Do not fear, one teaspoon is an approximate amount. As it
says above, if you ejaculate often, less might come out.
Sometimes if you ejaculate slower it seems like there is
more coming out. Everyone is a little different, but all
still normal.

Yes, when cum dries the sperm die. Sperm need the "cum" also
known as semen, for nourishment and mobility. If the cum
gets wet again it will not be potent. The sperm will already
be dead. Hope that helps.

No, that is not abnormal at all. The more times a guy
masturbates in a period of time, the less ejaculate (cum)
will come out. As it says above, it takes about 5 to 7 days
for a guy to produce a complete ejaculate, so you would have
to go 5 to 7 days without masturbating to have a full
teaspoon. For some guys, it is less, for others it is more.
This is just an average amount of time.
