Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have recently noticed that your semen is watery and dark brown in colour.

The viscosity of the semen depends upon the sperms and fructose that it contains.

The watery semen that you have noticed could be due to less sperms which are produced by testicles.This is very common at this age.where production of the sperms is reduced..

The fructose secreted by the seminal vesicles may be less and brownish due to infection of the seminal vesicles.

Please get your semen analysis and semen culture done to confirm the diagnosis.

Do not worry this is not a serious issue that you should be worried about.
This can be treated with antibiotics and high carbohydrate diet.

Hope I have answered your query.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks with Regards.
