Benefits of swallowing sperm

To swallow or not to swallow? That has always been the question. Yes, swallowing is an act that some of us avoid like the plague — but it turns out that consuming semen really does have some serious health benefits that goes far beyond a protein shake.
Some of the benefits are:

1. Semen is a natural anti-depressant

According to a study conducted on 293 female college students at the State University of New York in Albany, exposure to semen can lower symptoms of depression. The study compared female students who were having sex with condoms versus those who were having sex without, and found that the latter group overall showed fewer signs of depression.
According to the study's author, "These data are consistent with the possibility that semen may antagonize depressive symptoms, and evidence which shows that the vagina absorbs a number of components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within a few hours of administration." Basically, women absorb semen quickly, and thus its benefits can be easily detected in the bloodstream.

2. It helps you sleep better

Yes, sure, you're usually worn out after sex, but that may not be why you sleep so well that night. Semen actually contains melatonin which is a chemical that induces sleep and relaxation. Whether you ingest it, or receive it through intercourse, it will enter your bloodstream and help you doze off better than most over-the-counter sleep aids.

3. A multivitamin in each ejaculation

One teaspoon of semen contains over 200 proteins and several helpful vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, citric acid, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12 and zinc. While amounts of each vitamin vary with age and relative health of the obliging male, there is usually a significant amount of zinc present (about 3 percent of US RDA), which is an antioxidant that helps slow down the aging process. So besides exercise, sex (sans condom) gives you a healthy dose of something good.

4. Oral sex can lower your blood

A recent study suggests that swallowing semen on a regular basis can lower your blood pressure. Women who swallow their male mate's sperm during oral sex often have a much lower risk of getting preeclampsia — a complication during pregnancy that results in super-high blood pressure. So semen is helpful in making and birthing a baby.

5. Skin-Friendly

Sperm has beauty benefits as well. It contains spermidine, which protects cells from damage and slows down the ageing process.

6. Prevents Tooth Decay

Sperm contains zinc, calcium and other minerals which prevents tooth decay. As it is rich in calcium, sperm benefits the health by maintaining muscle and nerve function.

7. Boosts Immune System

Sperm has magnesium which boosts the immune system, strengthens muscles, and promotes healthy nerve function.
