text: Absolutely not!!\n\nHealthy semen (that is, produced by a well-nourished, disease-free male) is in fact not only safe to eat, but actually good for you! Seminal fluid is a veritable nutrient-rich soup. Semen is a source of highly concentrated, high-quality protein. In dietary terms, it's comparable to egg whites or gelatin.\n\nBesides protein, semen contains high concentrations of some minerals, such as zinc, and trace amounts of other important nutrients, like calcium and magnesium. While you shouldn't depend on a shot of it to get your recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals, swallowing semen on a regular basis can't hurt as a dietary supplement.\n\nDo be sure to note the words "disease-free" above. If STDs are a concern or you are not in a monogamous relationship, always use a condom, even for oral-sex.
