In answer to a reader's query on whether it was dangerous to swallow sperm, Health24's former sexologist, Dr Elna McIntosh, wrote the following answer:

A typical ejaculation fills up about one teaspoon; the actual amount is determined by a man's age (younger men usually make more semen), when a man last ejaculated, and how long he's aroused before ejaculating, among other factors.

Contrary to what you've heard, semen is not loaded with kilojoules. Each teaspoon of ejaculate has about 21 kilojoules and some 200 - 500 million sperm. Since sperm make up only about 1% of semen, what accounts for the other 99%? Well, its other ingredients include:

Fructose sugar
Water
Ascorbic acid (a.k.a. vitamin C)
Citric acid
Enzymes
Protein
Phosphate and bicarbonate buffers (bases)
Zinc

Can swallowing semen enrich a poor diet? Unless you're gulping gallons of it each day, it's no substitute for real nutritious cuisine.

Kilojoules aside, if it's semen (the liquid in which sperm exits the penis) that you're worried about, all the safer sex guidelines apply when you swallow someone else's semen. There's still debate about HIV transmission via semen and oral sex, but there are plenty of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can be passed along by oral sex, too. - (Health24, September 2009)

Now we know.......:whistle:
 
That's a copy/paste from various websites on the issue. Seems like former sexologist, Dr Elna McIntosh, can Google. The same cannot be said for the Reader who queried the issue.
 
If you have a diabetic partner I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems and fructose ain't one.
 
If a man had written it there would have been plenty talk about how good it is for the skin, how nourishing it is and how it will bring long life and help keep you thin :D
 
Gave some litchi juice to a girl at school once and told her it was semen afterwards (it wasn't). Boy did I get into trouble.
 
There's a video on the internet somewhere... I can tell you, fried semen appears to make a pretty passable plate of scrambled eggs (although without the yolk obviously).

Don't want to ask how you found that video but I am definitely going to try that tonight.

You would need a large amount of semen though and.......

............ ja, lets not even go down this road
 
As the journalists would say :" Careful and dont burn the source "
 
OK so if i **** for a week and freeze it? What's the best way to preserve semen for later cooking?
