Why are some women obsessed with "eating semen" during sex?

Generally speaking, eating semen has no effect on the body, but the psychological impact cannot be ignored. For a long time, due to the lack of sex education, some fallacies have been widely circulated among the people, such as: "One drop of semen is equal to ten drops of blood, and the loss of semen greatly damages your vitality." It is believed that sperm is the essence of a man, so that some people believe in this fallacy as truth. In fact, semen is neither a tonic containing high nutrients nor a panacea for curing tuberculosis in women.

The amount of semen a normal man ejaculates through sexual intercourse or masturbation is 3-5 ml. Semen is grayish white, weakly alkaline, and has a peculiar fishy smell, which is mainly the smell of prostatic fluid. Seminal fluid accounts for more than 95% of the total fluid, and sperm accounts for less than 1%. Every cubic centimeter of testicular tissue can produce 2 million sperm every day, which means that each male testicle can produce tens of millions to hundreds of millions of sperm every day. Even if these sperm are not expelled from the body, they will age, die, and eventually be digested by enzymes.

Seminal fluid is composed of a mixture of secretions from the supporting cells of the seminiferous tubules, epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands and paraurethral glands. The secretions of the seminal vesicles and prostate account for approximately 65% ​​and 30% of the total volume, respectively. Seminal fluid mainly provides a matrix for transporting and nourishing sperm, and stimulates sperm motility.

Semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. Further analysis shows that the main component of seminal fluid is water, which accounts for more than 90%. Other components include fat, protein particles, pigment particles, phospholipid bodies, amines (choleline, spermine, spermine), free amino acids (the content varies greatly, the total amount of amino acids in normal human semen within 4-6 hours after ejaculation is 1.25 grams/100ml), inorganic salts (calcium 25mg/dl, magnesium 14mg/dl, potassium 89mg/dl, zinc 14mg/dl), enzymes (mainly acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, hyaluronidase), and sugars (mainly fructose 224mg/100ml). These components are similar to those of plasma, but differ in their sources, forms of existence and functions.

Judging from the ingredients introduced above, semen is basically the same as plasma. Then, if we compare food with semen, a bowl of milk (250 ml) contains 8 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 13 grams of sugar. A bowl of soy milk (250 ml) contains 11 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 29 grams of sugar. In terms of nutrition for the human body, milk and soy milk are much more valuable than semen. In terms of function, semen is not a nutrient, but a necessity for reproduction.
