Does sperm have nutrients? Don’t treat semen as nutrient solution

Any mature man will have some understanding of his own sperm, but this understanding is only superficial. Many men believe that their semen is very nutritious, so sometimes they let their wives swallow it when they are sexually interested. So, is sperm really that nutritious?

Semen is not a nutrient solution

Some people advocate oral sex and swallowing semen, believing it has a tonic effect. There is even a saying that "one drop of semen is equal to ten drops of blood", but in fact this depends on the sperm count.

In fact, semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. The main component of seminal plasma is water, accounting for more than 90%. Other components include fat, protein particles, free amino acids, minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc), enzymes, fructose, etc., which are similar to the composition of plasma, and there is no such thing as "one for ten".

Inferior to food

If compared with food, semen is even worse. For example, a cup of milk (about 250 ml) contains 8 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 13 grams of sugar. The same amount of soy milk contains 11 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 29 grams of sugar, which are much higher in nutritional value than semen.

From a physiological perspective, semen is not primarily used for nutrition, but for the purpose of procreation and reproduction. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for considering semen as a nutrient solution.

Semen is a good preventive measure against diseases

Although semen is not a nutrient solution, it is a good tool for preventing diseases, especially in fighting cancer. This is the latest discovery of Korean scientists. They extracted three active ingredients containing zinc and other minerals from semen and injected them into culture medium containing epithelial ovarian cancer cells and ordinary ovarian epithelial cells. In just 48 hours, the mortality rate of ovarian cancer cells reached 81%, while only 37% of normal cells died. This suggests that normal sexual life may effectively prevent women from suffering from ovarian cancer.
