Semen is a viscous liquid expelled during male ejaculation following stimulation of the penis. It is composed mainly of water and sperm and is sometimes swallowed by women during sex. What do we know about oral ejaculation?
Is it possible to swallow semen?
In principle, there is nothing wrong with swallowing semen from an ejaculation. This practice, called ''oral ejaculation'', consists in the woman receiving in her mouth and swallowing the sperm of her partner. This can be right after a blowjob, masturbation or sexual intercourse. However, it is necessary for partners to keep in mind that, like blood, semen is a liquid that facilitates the transmission of infections and sexually transmitted diseases. The only available means of protection against these infections is the condom. Therefore, if the partner's HIV status is not known, it would be prudent to protect yourself.
Health effects of semen
Sperm is a white liquid with an interesting nutritional value for health. Indeed, it is a liquid that contains certain nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. Therefore, to benefit from the nutritional qualities in question, it is possible to swallow semen from sexual intercourse. This action is called semenology. Semen is a liquid that contains not only vitamin C, B12, but also proteins with antibacterial properties. In addition, it is also rich in potassium and magnesium. However, the proportion of these different nutrients changes according to age, health and sperm.
The taste of sperm
Diet plays an important role in the taste and smell of semen. Fruits such as orange or grapefruit and certain plants such as mint can change the taste of semen. In addition, products such as meat, milk and eggs increase the acidity of semen and give it a strong smell. Nevertheless, it is difficult to define the exact taste of semen. For some, it is slightly salty like sweat, and for others, it is more acidic.
