Semen refers to the fluid discharged from the urethra when male animals or human males ejaculate (usually in the state of Orgasm). But many people have many questions about semen. So how to correctly understand semen? The following series will introduce you to how to correctly understand semen?
1、 Correctly Understanding Semen
The amount of ejaculation during normal male sexual activity or masturbation is 3-5 milliliters. Semen is grayish white, weakly alkaline, and has a special fishy odor, mainly the odor of prostate fluid. Among them, seminal plasma accounts for over 95%, and sperm accounts for less than 1%. Each cubic centimeter of testicular tissue produces 2 million sperm per day, which means that each male testicle produces tens to hundreds of millions of sperm per day. Even if these sperm are not expelled from the body, they will age and die, ultimately being digested by enzymes.
Seminal plasma is composed of supporting cells of convoluted seminiferous tubules, epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicle gland, Bulbourethral gland gland and secretion of paraurethral gland. The secretion from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland accounts for approximately 65% and 30% of the total volume. Semen plasma mainly provides a substrate for transporting and nourishing sperm, and stimulates sperm activity.
Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. We further analyze that the main component of seminal plasma is water, accounting for more than 90%. Other components include fat, protein particles, pigment particles, phospholipid bodies, amines (choline, spermine, spermine), and free amino acids (the content varies greatly, with a total amino acid content of 1.25 g/100ml within 4-16 hours), Inorganic salt (calcium 255mg/dl, magnesium 14mg/dl, potassium 89mg/dl, zinc 14mg/dl enzyme (mainly containing Acid phosphatase, Lactate dehydrogenase, Hyaluronidase), sugar (mainly fructose 224mg/100ml). These components are similar to plasma components, but have different sources, forms, and effects.
From the above components, semen is basically the same as plasma. Then, let's compare food and semen. A bowl of milk (250ml) contains 8g protein, 10g fat, 13g sugar. A bowl of soybean milk (2500ml) contains 11g protein, 5g fat and 29g sugar. Compared with human nutrition, the value of milk and soybean milk is much higher than semen. Functionally, semen is not a nutrient, but a requirement for reproduction of offspring.
For a long time, due to a lack of sexual education, some fallacies have been widely spread among the population, such as one drop of sperm, ten drops of blood, loss of semen, and serious damage to vitality. They believe that sperm is the essence of men, so some people believe that fallacy is truth. In fact, semen is neither a nutrient rich supplement nor a panacea for female tuberculosis. Generally speaking, eating semen has no impact on the body, but the psychological impact cannot be ignored..
