No, not really.: No, not to any significant extent. There are glucopolysaccarides (sugars ) and fats in semen, and glucoproteins in sperm, which are obviously lost, but in relatively minute amounts. Your genital glands (gonads) are constantly replenishing these substances, and the small immediate loss is rapidly replenished. You body doesn't notice the "loss."
