The Nutritional Content of Semen
While a load contains plenty of nutrients, don’t get too excited. Let’s start with the king of macros: Protein.
Studies have shown that in 100ml of semen, a bit above 3fl oz, you get about 5g worth of protein. Considering that the average cumshot is about 5ml, you’re only getting around .25g every time you swallow. So, unless you know someone who normally fires off enough baby gravy that the TSA would confiscate their balls, you're not getting a lot of muscle building potential out of swallowing semen.
So, how much protein does sperm have compared to other sources of protein? Again, not much. Even if we stick to 100ml, or convert it to 103g (thanks, Google), it doesn’t stack up that well to much easier to acquire protein sources.
100ml of whole milk would give you about 3.5g of protein, less than sperm but much easier to find. 103g of beef would give you 27g, with chicken offering 28g. Which would you rather have? A burger or a travel-sized bottle of cum?
Sperm does contain an insane amount of nutrients — zinc, iron, B vitamins, and many other beneficial ingredients — for its volume but not enough to have any real effect on you. Swallowing semen for health benefits is like expecting to get wasted off of a sip of light beer.
Is swallowing sperm bad for you?
Swallowing semen is perfectly safe as long as the semen in question is safe.
Getting back to basic sex safety, ingesting bodily fluids can always carry a risk of STIs. So, make sure you and your partner are tested regularly and keep an open line of communication when it comes to sexual health, as well as health in general.
