Guide to Semen

Should I swallow or spit? You may already know the answer, but are you aware of the true nature of semen? What was the calorie count of that cum? Are you curious about how to make your load taste delicious? Let's start by going over the fundamentals.

What is Semen?

During ejaculation, a variety of bodily fluids combine to form semen. Sperm is the primary component of semen, aside from water. Within the testicles, seminiferous tubes—tightly wound tubes—produce sperm cells. The sperm then matures over a day as it passes through a network of ducts known as the epididymis. These sperm cells go through the vas deferens, or ejaculatory ducts, during ejaculation, where they combine with prostate, seminal, and bulbourethral fluids before being expelled through the urethra as semen.

The DNA required for human reproduction is carried by sperm cells, and each of the other fluids contributes to the fertilization process's potential success. The bulbourethral fluid acts as an additional lubricant and cleanses the urethra. The sperm are nourished by the proteins, fatty acids, and fructose found in seminal fluid. The naturally acidic vaginal environment is lessened by the slightly alkaline base of prostate fluid.

What is considered healthy?

There are a few indicators you may watch for to make sure your semen is in optimal condition, even though a person's semen might naturally vary over time as a result of ageing, drug use, and physical activity. Semen should have a white tint; deviations from this can indicate an internal issue. Greenish or yellowish semen may indicate a gonorrhoea infection. Blood traces could be seen in reddish semen. This might be hematospermia, a generally benign disorder that needs to be examined by a physician. Strong smells may also indicate an illness.

Is it safe to ingest semen?

Yes, to put it simply! Semen may nourish your body and is entirely safe to consume. With 200 distinct proteins and a good amount of vitamins and minerals, semen has a composition that is similar to that of a superfood. There are 2% sperm and 96% water in semen. The remaining 2% contains fructose, vitamin C, and sodium bicarbonate in the ideal ratio for sperm nourishment. Several minerals, including magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, also cause the slightly bitter taste of semen. The typical amount of ejaculation is between 15 and 20 calories and 4 millilitres, or one teaspoon. About 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and 9 grams of fat comprise a healthy breakdown. Semen won't break any diets, even though you can't live off of it alone.

The response should be no if you are not fluidly coupled with a partner and you are not confident of their health or STI status. Sexually transmitted diseases are conveyed through contact with bodily fluids, such as semen. Oral intercourse is an easy way to spread gonorrhoea, which has recently been a worry since the illness is growing less resistant to treatments. Additionally, don't slurp up some semen if you don't want to! Feeling compelled or under pressure to do something can be equally detrimental to your emotional well-being.

Improving your semen health

Diet: Because processed diets deprive semen of essential nutrients for growth and survival, they can significantly impact semen fertility.

Exercise: Semen's natural development and production can be hampered by carrying excess body fat. According to studies, regular exercise can improve blood flow, balance hormone levels, and reduce extra body fat—all of which aid in generating semen.

Clothing: Sperm cells can get constrained and overheated by tight clothing, such as slim pants and briefs. Wear clothing that is comfy and breathable for healthy semen.

Smoking: Along with a host of other harmful health issues, smoking stresses sperm cells and deprives them of oxygen.

Plastic: Phthalates, chemicals in some plastics, harm sexual health and fertility. Use a metal water bottle, avoid reheating meals in plastic containers, and ensure all sexual health items you use are phthalate-free.

Stress: High levels of stress increase the likelihood of having defective sperm. To relieve stress, get enough sleep, work out regularly, and try meditation.

Affecting taste and consistency

Devoted sex nerds and aficionados have been recording their findings concerning what meals can impact the flavor and consistency of semen despite the lack of formal studies. Among the most well-studied cum sweeteners are the natural sugars present in fruit, particularly in the juices of citrus fruits, watermelons, apples, and pineapples. If you're a quantity freak, celery can assist in increasing the volume of ejaculatory fluid. The flavor of semen can be adversely affected by diets heavy in meat, dairy, deep-fried meals, coffee, and alcohol. Anna Sprinkle, a legendary porn star, declared that "vegetarians taste better."
