Semen consists of sperm suspended in a carrier fluid. If you're producing mostly transparent watery stuff then it just doesn't have much sperm in it and is mostly carrier fluid, whereas when it's white it's loaded for bear and ready to go. As to why that's happening for you, impossible to tell, you'd need to speak to a doctor.

Just to inform anyone reading this, this isn’t the case. I have tested and have 0 sperm count and experience the same thin or thick situation. For me, frequency seems to be what makes it thin. Long durations without unloading seems to make it thicker.

It's a product of the body. What you eat, what you drink, how much you drink, what medicine you take, ECT. All of it effects semen and other bodily functions.
I was with you right up until 'effects' :P
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answers...
