Question 1

does semen have health benefits if swallowed i was wondering if semen has health benefits like extra protein, good for skin,  helps generate any type of virus fighting cells or anything like that.

Accepted Answer

What : What an interesting question to start my day with. What does semen contain?  White blood cells, epithelial cells and spermatozoa as well as water, fats, steroids, carbohydrates (sugars) and protein. There is usually about 2 to 6 ml of semen per ejaculation. Is it good for you or not?  Well, i guess that depends on who you are talking to. 
   There are a number of cultures and religions that consider sperm to be sacred - however, I am not aware of religious rituals involving semen ingestion. There is a  study that suggests possible health benefits from ingesting semen.  It proported a reduced risk of breast cancer  if a woman engages in fellatio at least three times a week.  Two  other benefits from semen that have been suggested (but do not involve ingestion per se) include an antidepressant effect on women and possible reduction of pre-eclampsia.I can not tell you how how scientific the methods were for any of these studies. 
    On the flip side (and there is a lot of evidence to support this) semen can contain viruses and bacteria.  Hiv  can be transmitted through oral sex. Herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases can also be contained in semen. If there is significant gum disease in the person who ingests the ejaculate, that would provide more portals for infection. It is reported that about 5% of women are allergic to ejaculate. I am not aware that injesting semen strengthens your immune system, gives you radiant skin or improves the quality of your diet.

Question 2

which foods contain potassium and protein?,how long does it take for the food to become semen and increase its volume after ejaculation?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: No foods or pills will increase the volume of ejaculated semen since its volume is related with the size of seminal vesicles, the intensity of sexual arousal &amp; orgasm, and the frequency of ejaculation. As to nutritional effect foods, it takes time to emerge depending on personal health and liver function. Regarding K+ &amp; protein-containing foods, fruits &amp; veggie have high K+ and animal meats or egg

Question 3

hi iam 16 male iam tall n skinny i go to gym  and  i eat also protein is that harmful or not can i stop my highet growth because iam too tall?

Accepted Answer

Eat the protein: The protein is not going to hurt you. If anything it will help. Do not take anything to stop your growth. The height is genetic and should not tamper with this. 
Best wishes.

Question 4

3 days back i masturbated 2 times  ejaculate approx 1.2 to 1.5 mm n 2 days back for 2 times low ejaculate like 1mm  for 2nd time 3 drop yesterday  i did it in eveinging no semen at night 2 drops after waiting i did it today it was 5 drops. plz advice?

Accepted Answer

Ejaculatory emission:  Are you actually measuring these amounts?  Masturbating more often does not harm sperm or overall fertility.  I think you might really get emotionally stressed if you are feeling the need to track your ejaculatory emissions so closely.

Question 5

my husband has less than a teaspoon of semen. n it's cloudy nearly clear n not very thick. what does that mean, can he still have babies?  he is 59.

Accepted Answer

Male Fertility: Yes. Of course.  He has less prostatic fluid but this does not mean he is not producing sperm.  I would worry more about your age and the potential genetic risks of having a baby so late in life.

Question 6

are veggie sausages containing soya protein isolate n soya protein bad to eat say if u had 4 would that be too much soya. also chocolate in one day?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts: First, everything in moderation. Soy/textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a good product with a lot of protein/low cost. But TVP is highly manufactured and subjected to high heat etc in processing. TVP causes GI side effects in some people and is reported to mimic estrogen effects in women. Most also contains MSG. Can not really call it a health food..OK in moderation/2-3 servings per day.

Question 7

what makes semen thick?

Accepted Answer

Seminal vesicle: The seminal vesicles contribute a thick, viscous substance to semen.

Question 8

would a ui effect my semen?

Accepted Answer

Yep: Urinary tract infections may effect semen and sometime gives prostate infection as well.

Question 9

what is the purpose of semen?

Accepted Answer

: Semen is a protein rich moist natural lubricant that acts as a taxi/body guard for the sperm that travel within it. Sperm are fragile &amp; contact with any drying or noxious agent can kill them quickly. Semen is a transitional material whose job is taken over by vaginal mucus after intercourse deposits it in the female.

Question 10

why would my semen look soapy?

Accepted Answer

Normal: This is normal, common, and of no concern.  It all depends on the recent diet, fluids ingested, the amount of protein and hormonal fluctuations. There is absolutely nothing to worry about in this common scenario.
