Is it harmful to consume semen?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I would like to ask if there are any hazards in eating male semen? Also, will it cause pregnancy if it is consumed? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. The main component of seminal fluid is water, accounting for more than 90%. Other components include fat, protein granules, pigment granules, lipid bodies, amines, and free amino acids (the content varies greatly; in normal individuals, the total amount of amino acids in semen after ejaculation is 1.25 grams/100ml within 4-6 hours). There are also inorganic salts, enzymes, and carbohydrates.
Let's compare food and semen. A bowl of milk (250ml) contains 8 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 13 grams of sugar. A bowl of soy milk (250ml) contains 11 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 29 grams of sugar. From a nutritional perspective, milk and soy milk are far more valuable than semen. In terms of function, semen is not a nutrient but rather necessary for reproduction. Moreover, if your husband has an infectious disease, he can transmit it to you through semen!
