During sexual intercourse, penetration can be vaginal, anal or oral. It is therefore possible that semen, the viscous liquid expelled from the penis during ejaculation, can end up in the mouth. Can it be swallowed? If it were swallowed, could we enjoy its taste? And what would be its effects on health?
Can sperm be swallowed?
The man just before the orgasm ejaculates in the mouth of his partner before this last one (era) swallows it: we speak about oral ejaculation no matter if it is following a fellatio or a masturbation. Some STIs or diseases can be transmitted through semen. To protect himself, the man must use a condom. But if for some reason the partner wants to swallow his or her lover's semen, he or she should make sure it is hygienic.
What does semen taste like?
It's hard to say, only those who have swallowed it once can tell us. But one thing is certain, the smell and taste of semen are influenced by diet. Some citrus fruits and plants like mint slightly improve the flavor of semen. Animal products, on the other hand, increase its acidity and odor.
What are the health effects of semen?
Contrary to popular belief, semen is not harmful to your health. Semen contains many nutrients that are very beneficial to the body. It contains among others:
- Vitamins C and B12;
- Proteins with antibacterial properties;
- Minerals (potassium and magnesium).
The proportion of these elements in semen varies with the age and health of its owner. However, just because it has entered the body in this case through the mouth does not mean that semen is no longer a vector for diseases and STIs; the risk of contracting one remains.
