      some people think sperm that is male The essence of the body, eating sperm has great benefits for the body. But can male sperm be eaten? There are certain nutrients in male men's sperm, but the content is relatively small. Experts say that if the male body healthy , sperm is edible.

      The amount of semen ejaculated by a normal man during sexual intercourse or masturbation is 3-5 ml. Semen is gray-white, slightly alkaline, and has a special fishy odor. This odor is mainly the odor of prostate fluid. Among them, seminal fluid accounts for more than 95%, and sperm accounts for less than 1%. Each cubic centimeter of testicular tissue can produce 2 million sperm every day, which means that each male testicle can produce tens to hundreds of millions of sperm every day. Even if these sperm are not excreted from the body, they will age, die, and eventually be digested by enzymes.

      Seminal fluid is composed 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. We further analyze that the main component of seminal fluid is water, accounting for more than 90%. Other components include fat, protein particles, pigment particles, phospholipid bodies, amines (including choline, spermine, and spermine), and free amino acids. (The content varies greatly. The amino acid mg within 4-6 hours after ejaculation of normal human semen is 1.25 mg/dl), enzymes (mainly acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and hyaluronidase), and sugars (mainly fructose 224 mg/100 ml). These components are similar to those of plasma, but their sources, forms and functions are different.

      Judging from the ingredients introduced above, semen is basically the same as plasma. Then, let’s compare food and 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. Compared with nourishing the human body, milk and soy milk are much more valuable than semen. In terms of function, semen is not a nutrient, but a need for reproduction.

      In the composition of sexual life, female Ingestion of sperm is inevitable. When encountering this situation, women often become worried and feel that eating sperm is not good for their health. Sperm does no harm to the body, so there is no need to worry.
