For many who grew up in America public Sex Education did a lot more harm than good. When you're taught that sex is not a recreational activity—unless you're a disease-ridden whore—and condoms don't work (if you have sex, you WILL get pregnant). Let's just say, it's a lot to overcome.
Cum Has 2,000 Calories!?: Sex According to Right-Wing Moralist Crusaders

He regaled me with a memory dating back to Catholic elementary school, of an assembly to warn the kids against committing the evil sin of abortion.
When I think of all the sins a prepubescent Catholic-school-educated 9-year-old is capable of committing a few things come to mind: pilfering communion wafers, putting a frog in the holy water, hiding in the confessional, perhaps. Abortion? Not so much.
But, in any event, a panel sat on a stage before the impressionable children: half abortion rights activists, half anti-abortion nun crusaders. Tension among the panel members ran high, tempers flared and, according to my friend, at some point the conversation came to blows, as scores of horrified children looked on.

#4 - Fri Apr 30, 2010 2:49 PM EDTOne of my friends says she handles the taste issue by deepthroating (yes, I have interesting friends). She says that way everything gets swallowed and she barely tastes anything. Maybe I should get to know this friend a little better, now that I think about it....

Unless it's shoved pretty far down your throat, you're gonna taste it. bleh!
I don't like to be gagged and have tears streaming down my face when doing oral sex.
I want it be fun and pleasant.
I'd be completely turned off to see my boyfriend going down on me making gagging noises and crying!

Ahhh, if there was a god the semen would've tasted like chocolate.

The taste is directly related to diet. Stay away from highly acidic foods and juices.

Wouldn't good taste vs. bad taste be a matter of personal preference? Also, how would that affect caloric content I wonder?

I'm sure it probably ranks up there with other acquired tastes such as asparagus or beer. There are very few tastes that we innately like. Most tastes are acquired through association of them with pleasant things. If you really like performing oral sex you become a connoisseur of the tastes and smells involved. If you don't really like performing oral sex you never associate the tastes and smells involved in it with anything pleasant.

Well, I have heard it said that sperm and semen are an excellent source of high quality protein and natural body sugars. Now they say that it has 2000 calories. Sounds a bit like the starving people in Africa, South America, and other struggliing societies are missing an important source of nutrition here. If this statement by moral extremists is supposed to be some sort of a deterent to lascivious sexual practices I think that someone should explain to them the basics of survival. Then again, maybe they "know what they are doing." LOL As 'fat cats' they will occupy a unique spot on the supply side and many of them 'swing both ways.' HEH HEH HEH HEH

#6 - Sat May 1, 2010 6:54 AM EDTFrom what I've read/found/heard/experienced, if you consume a lot of meat or if you consume foods with a lot of onions and/or garlic it adversely affects how you taste. Smoking also adversely affects the flavor. One friend of mine says she can tell when her husband wants to be on the receiving end of her oral attentions when he drinks fruit juice all day.

Certain medicines certainly affect the flavor, zyrtec is very bitter!!
Ice cream on the other hand...Hmmmm!!

Antibiotics create some terrible tastes too, especially cipro and amoxicillin. If your significant other is on antibiotics, you definitely want to delay being on the giving end of oral sex until the antibiotics are out of his/her system.

But wait, wouldn't this mean the guy would lose weight by ejaculation? Argh, my brain hurts, why would they bring this up?
- 3 votes
#9 - Wed May 5, 2010 10:40 AM EDTYes Inferno he does. However his weight loss comes from burning calories through the exercise of copulation. The caloric content of his sperm and semen comes from the natural sugars and fluids produced in his body. The female also produces similar fluids in the form of her vaginal discharge during arousal that is meant to serve as a natural lubricant. In her case the egg replaces the sperm but the fluids (semenal and vaginal) are similar and perform somewhat similar functions. Likewise, the taste of her secretions can reflect her dietary intake to some extent as well although most attribute a bit of a 'fishy' taste to it. Like the semen/sperm coctail, it is also an acquired taste. LOL
Next you ask "why would they bring this up?" I do not wish to start a political or religious debate over this issue so I will simply say this. Anytime that someone is overzelous about any issue, they will say just about anything that comes into their heads to convince others that their way of thinking is right. They are not above using scary fairytales and/or threats of the boogie man if they think that it will frighten someone else into believing in their ideas. Frankly this calorie thing is pretty bogus since very few people (male or female) actually swallow the ejaculate. I also have some doubt about the credibility of their information as well. Just more propaganda in a clumsey attempt to manipulate others. HEH HEH HEH HEH

Will the FDA eventually make me label my scrotum with nutritional information?
Maybe there will be a low sodium version.

#10 - Wed May 5, 2010 8:30 PM EDTFrom Askmen.com:
What's in sperm? Will swallowing make my girlfriend gain weight?
There are many ingredients composing semen, and its makeup is the same from man to man. Here are a few of the constituent elements: vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, citric acid, creatine, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12, and zinc.
So what effect will all this have on her waistline? Well, not much of an effect at all. The caloric content of the average ejaculate is estimated to be approximately 5 to 25 calories -- hardly the most fattening meal.

#11 - Fri May 7, 2010 8:07 AM EDTDarn Div. You just spoiled my mental image. I was going to immigrate to an impoverished nation and offer to let the starving women feed off me for their survival. The semen recipe from askmen sounds almost like the ingredients from a vitamin bottle and when you add the sperm which is pure protein, you have a pretty healthy slurpy their. However the caloric content sounds a lot more reasonable than the '2000' touted by this phoney article. LOL
Extremists and zealots are a whole lot like fishermen. They always have a great lie to tell after a day on the lake. HEH HEH HEH HEH
