The answer

The emission of semen without passion does not necessitate (ritual bath) according to the majority of scholars, contrary to the Shafi'is, who mandate it unconditionally. As for the majority, semen in this state is considered an impurity that nullifies wudu' (ablution), and only wudu' is required with the intention of removing minor impurity; a specific intention for it is not obligatory.
