Is ghusl obligatory when semen is discharged without arousal?

If semen is discharged without desire, then (ritual bath) is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars. However, it is preferable to perform ghusl to avoid scholarly dispute. If semen is discharged continuously, then the ruling for سلس (incontinence/continuous discharge) applies to it.
