Patient's question:
It is said that male sperm contains many nutrients, which are very beneficial for the skin. I would like to ask what are the benefits of sperm masks?Doctor's answer:
Semen contains amino acids and proteins, which are indeed nutritional components, but the amount is not greater than that of a single egg, let alone being beneficial for beauty and skincare. Therefore, women do not need to tolerate the odor and swallow semen. As for the TCM concepts of "harvesting yang to replenish yin" or "harvesting yin to replenish yang," they are unreasonable. If they were valid, they would only refer to the positive energy derived from sexual intercourse between two people. It is worth noting that some viruses can be transmitted through semen, and in such cases, consuming semen would be particularly unwise.
