- It is okay to swallow seminal fluid as it contains seven types of protein.
- The seminal fluid, which is the liquid that a man releases upon ejaculation, is different from the actual sperm.
It’s not always a norm to discuss oral sex openly and one of the questions often asked doctors is regarding the dangers of swallowing your partner’s seminal fluid.
According to Dr. Lulu Marquez on a program called “Private Nights” at DZMM, it depends on your partner. If it’s between husband and wife, or in the case that you know your partner really well, then she would say yes, it’s okay. In fact, seminal fluid is known to be a high-protein diet as it has seven types of calories.
Dr. Marquez also debunked the saying that sperms and seminal fluids may dry out if you masturbate too much.
“The sperm and seminal fluid are produced continuously. They don’t run out. And to have a good sperm count, you need to live healthy, eat well, exercise, and drink lots of water.”
She also clarified that the seminal fluid is actually different from the sperm. A male’s sperm is not visible and is contained in the seminal fluid, which is what comes out of the penis when a man ejaculates. It is possible that a man will release a large amount of seminal fluid but it can contain only a few sperm cells.
“In one ejaculation, it has to contain about 100 million, 150 million, or 250 million sperm count. It’s not always the same. If the number goes down to 20 million and below, it’s not healthy and there’s a possibility that you may not produce a fertilized egg.”
Aside from the sperm count, another matter is the shape of the sperm.
“There’s something called abnormal morphology. The sperm could look like it has two heads, has a short body, or has two tails. Don’t worry as sperms like those cannot fertilize an egg. Any abnormal sperm can never fertilize an egg. It will die.”
In one lifespan of a man, it is estimated that they will ejaculate 7,200 times.
