Whedon jokingly said it was rigor mortis, which if he was serious is just weird.
I often had a question about if vampires really had any cold dead seed. To make Connor, Angel has to have some in some form or fashion. If, like Anne Rice vampires, any change in the body will eventually revert to the state it was in in death, then it's reasonable to assume that vampires regenerate the seed that was in their body at the time of death... which means that if they spent that seed within a few hours of regeneration, the seed would still be motile and viable for impregnation... which lends credence to the whole dmaphir thing and why male vampires in legend are the only ones able to procreate with humans. Males regenerate their seed constantly, females are stuck with what they were born with... which would ultimately decay very soon after death... I've thought too much about this... *head-desk*
