So you got some down the hatch. Now what?
Sometimes, when mouths and penises do stuff together, people end up ingesting semen—it's simply a part of life. Usually, it's a conscious decision. Other times, it sneaks up on you; you have nowhere to spit it out, and down the hatch it goes.
But what happens when you swallow semen, anyway—besides an ensuing struggle to figure out what it tastes like ? Does it have any nutrients? And what about the STI risk of swallowing semen?
It's not just sperm. As Nelson Bennett, MD, urologist at Northwestern Memorial, previously told Men's Health , semen is 80% water. "It also contains proteins and amino acids," Bennett said. "It has fructose and glucose (both are sugars), zinc, calcium, vitamin C, and a few other nutrients."
Did someone say protein? There isn't much of it: According to Healthline , a 2013 review of studies published in the Journal of Andrology found that the average protein concentration of semen is 5,040 milligrams (mg) per 100 ml. And since the average ejaculation expels roughly 5 mL of semen, that means there are roughly 252 mg of protein in a single, er, serving.
Semen also has very few calories, Dr. Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D., a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute and author of Tell Me What You Want , explained in a 2o14 blog post on swallowing semen . "Most estimates I’ve seen put the number of calories in a 'serving' of semen somewhere between 1 and 5," he wrote.
"Considering it's a bodily fluid, it can be a contaminated STI risk," says Dr. Evan Goldstein, D.O., a proctologist who specializes in men's sexual health at Bespoke Surgical. "STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV—as well as HIV—are such risks." (Yes, there is still a risk of contracting HIV through oral sex , even if the risk is lower than it is for penetrative sex .)
But the STI risk isn't specifically about swallowing semen; "It doesn’t really matter whether you swallow his semen or spit it out—the risk comes from having ejaculate in your mouth," Lehmiller wrote in his 2014 post. That's why Lehmiller suggests using a condom for oral sex if you're unsure of your partner's STI status.
There's been research on whether gargling Listerine after oral sex can reduce your risk of certain STIs, but the verdict's still out on how effective it really is, according to Verywell Health . So o nce more for the people in the back: Using a condom is still your safest bet.
The only other potential health risk of is if you have g a semen allergy—medically known as Hypersensitivity to Human Semen (HSS). Again, this doesn't just pertain to semen swallowing, but overall semen-in-mouth exposure.
"The symptoms of HSS can vary, but at the very minimum, they usually involve redness, swelling, and itching in the genital area that begins within an hour after semen exposure," Lehmiller explained in a 2014 post on the condition . "However, some women experience more severe symptoms, and at least a few have had anaphylactic reactions, which are potentially deadly."
So what's the bottom line about swallowing semen? In his post on swallowing semen, Lehmiller concluded, "It is pretty clear that as long as the male partner is uninfected and the receptive partner is not allergic to his semen, it is unlikely that swallowing semen will have any negative effects on one’s health."

Home > Sexual Health > Is Swallowing Semen Safe? Are There Risks?
You’ve heard the rumors about swallowing semen. From “it’s high in protein” and “it can boost your mood”. To “it tastes like battery acid” and “I can get an STI from swallowing it”.
Just what the heck is the truth about swallowing semen? Is any of this true?
The answers to that: yes, semen is relatively high in protein, but you’d need to swallow lots of it to see any health benefits. It does taste like battery acid, although you might be able to improve its taste a little. And the big one. Yes, swallowing semen can give you an STI. Which is why you’ll want to have a conversation with your partner before going that route.
Semen is a man’s seed [1] . It’s a viscous, creamy or slightly yellow or grey substance that contains sperm and a liquid called seminal plasma.
To put it another way, semen is a liquid made of two things: the sperm and the fluid. Although with the former making just 1 to 5% of the actual semen, it’s mostly fluid.
Sperm are like little tadpoles. They’re your swimmers – and special ones at that. Sperm contain half the genetic information needed to make a human life. No sperm, no offspring. It’s as simple as that.
Generally, yes. Semen is a natural substance. Both sperm and the seminal fluid are usually safe to swallow.
In very rare cases, some people have an allergy to swallowing semen. This is called human seminal plasma hypersensitivity (HSP). It’s very uncommon, but if you find that swallowing semen leads to an allergic reaction of any kind, speak with your doctor immediately.
Also – and this is important – swallowing semen can lead to a sexually transmitted disease, like gonorrhea and chlamydia. Swallowing semen can also lead to skin-to-skin viral infections, like herpes.
To avoid this issue, you may want to avoid swallowing semen or having unprotected sex for that matter including oral stimulation. Just until you’ve had a conversation with your partner about when either of you were last tested, or whether you should get tested again.
It’s not uncommon for a sexual partner to object to how semen tastes. While there is no single general taste for semen, it has been described as ‘alkaline, and slightly acidic’.
A man’s diet will also affect how his semen tastes. Some foods that may help make semen taste better include:
You may also find that a semen flavor enhancer, like SemEnhance, may improve semen taste.
On the other hand, some foods can make semen taste like, well, less-than-ideal. Foods that can make semen taste worse include:
Look, we get it, you need a coffee in the morning and a beer in the evening. It is cruel and unusual punishment to go without either of them. But if your partner is swallowing your semen, you may want to add a few flavor enhancers. You can do this through diet or with a supplement, to make it a little more palatable.
Surprisingly, yes. There is some evidence to suggest that semen may have antidepressant properties [2] .
A study conducted in 2002 [3] researched the effect of semen on 293 college-aged women without a condom worn on the penis.
The women exposed to semen showed a significantly better mood and had fewer symptoms of depression.
With that being said, any kind of sexual activity will likely decrease depression symptoms and make the world look a lot rosier. Semen itself may not be the catalyst, although it likely doesn’t hurt either.
Bottom line? Swallowing semen might help your mood. There is little harm in swallowing semen from a psychological perspective.
There are some risks to swallowing semen, although that can likely be decreased if your partner has been tested recently.
When you engage in oral sex without a condom, you may contract:
You and your partner are at higher risk of STIs from oral sex if one of you has:
According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the risk of passing a STI to your partner through oral sex is quite low [4] . If you want to dot your I’s and cross your T’s, you can insist your partner wear a condom when doing oral. You can also both get tested for STIs often.
As we’ve already mentioned, a small population may have an allergy to swallowing semen. This appears to be alleviated when a condom is used.
A 2011 study suggests that gradual exposure to semen can help with desensitization and may significantly improve the problem in the few people who have it [5] .
Bottom line, there are risks to swallowing semen. But you may likely reduce that risk with frequent STI testing, and simply wearing a condom to lower it further.
That’s up to you. If you’ve both been tested recently for STIs and you don’t have an allergy to it, swallowing semen appears to be safe. It may even boost your mood.
If you don’t like the taste, you can easily spit.
Remember to tell your dude that he needs to watch his diet if he doesn’t want his semen to taste like battery acid. We’re not completely kidding when we say that. The good news: by avoiding certain foods and adding others, he can make swallowing semen a little more enjoyable for you.
And if that doesn’t do it for you, you’ve got another option as well.
SemEnhance is a natural semen taste enhancer. Yes, it is a so called ‘cum-flavor pill’. They do exist, and there is a good reason for that.
By definition, while it’s generally quite healthy, semen doesn’t really taste like Skittles. Certain foods may help a little, but if your dude drinks coffee, eats meat and/or drinks beer, it’s time to step things up a little.
What It Does: SemEnhance helps to make semen taste better. It’s made with a series of natural sweeteners that are known to make semen taste a lot more enjoyable. A look inside the SemEnhance formula reveals why.
Pineapple – Long known as one of the best semen flavour enhancers, pineapple does precisely that. Here’s why: pineapple is highly acidic, which cuts down on the bitter taste that many sexual partners report.
Kiwi – High in natural sugars, this fruit helps to counteract the bitter taste that semen has. Kiwi can go a long way to make up for the little things that make his semen taste like, well, you get the idea.
Bee Pollen – A 2012 study found Bee Pollen helped improve semen quality.
Vitamin C – It’s no wonder vitamin C can help semen taste better. A 2017 study found it has a positive effect on semen, specifically, it helped to reduce oxidative stress. It may increase semen production as well.
Strawberry – Another fruit high in natural sugars. It cuts down on semen’s often bitter tastes. As a bonus, the lycopene in strawberries is linked to better sperm quality and motility.
Celery – Surprisingly, celery is a rich source of vitamin C. It helps to flush out the salty, bitter taste. Making semen more palatable.
A little of this formula and you’re pretty much guaranteed to taste like a champ.
Finally, there is one further thing we like about SemEnhance. It’s made by the same company that makes Semenax ( check out our review here. ) Semenax is a semen-boosting ‘volume’ pill that gives men more semen to ejaculate and a longer orgasm to go with it.
Sound a little outrageous? It is – but it’s a very well-respected supplement in the natural male virility industry. The fact they also make SemEnhance is a good sign. And it means if you’re looking to make your semen taste better, it’s a name you can trust.
Swallowing semen doesn’t have to be a chore. Dare we say, you might even enjoy it.
