A few facts about fantastic, magical semen

7/15/2012

Some guys don't need to be told how precious and wonderful their semen is, but as it turns out this instinctive, narcissistic assumption is in fact accurate, biologically speaking. Sperm is only a tiny portion of the sum total of the "seminal plasma" ejaculate, containing an unholy mixology cocktail of neurotransmitters, endorphins, hormones, immunosuppressants and 50-some other compounds. Therefore, bodily absorption or ingestion, if you catch our drift, can potentially be an antidepressant, while heightening mood and feelings of affection. The whopper of a downside is that semen is the "single most effective way to transmit HIV." So, erm, read the label carefully before use. [Source]
