The answer

If semen is discharged without desire, then (ritual bath) is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars; rather, only wudu (ablution) is required.

They based their argument on the : "If the water gushes forth, then perform ghusl." The term "gushes forth" implies its emission with force and desire.

However, if you perform ghusl as a precaution, it is better, as it removes any difference of opinion. This seminal discharge does not affect the validity of your fast because it occurred involuntarily.
