Semen Consumption: A Feminist Take on the Double Standard

In the world of sexual taboos and fetishes, few topics spark as much controversy, curiosity, and discomfort as semen consumption. There’s an inherent contradiction in how society perceives the act: it’s often a point of sexual fetishization for women, yet many men, despite being the ones producing it, show a pronounced disgust toward it. In this blog, I’m going to explore the safety of semen consumption, why women are often expected to eagerly take part in this act, and the deeply rooted cultural hypocrisy surrounding it.

Chemical Makeup: High Fructose Porn Syrup

Semen is a complex substance, composed of more than just sperm cells. On the whole, semen contains water, proteins, enzymes, fructose (a sugar that provides energy to sperm), vitamin C, zinc, and a few other minerals. While the exact chemical composition can vary between individuals, its overall makeup is relatively harmless. For most people, semen is not harmful to ingest in small amounts, provided that both partners are free from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The pH of semen is slightly alkaline, usually around 7.2 to 8.0, which helps protect sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina and gives it the potential to survive long enough to fertilize an egg. Most people’s stomachs tolerate the substance just as they would any other bodily fluid. So, from a health perspective, unless there’s an STI involved, consuming semen isn’t inherently dangerous. That said, there are always individual considerations—such as allergies or sensitivities—that could play a role in one’s comfort with the act.

Semen doesn’t taste bad, it may be an acquired taste but I don’t mind the taste at all. In fact, the donor has a good diet, it can be sweet tasting, almost like pineapple because it has fructose, the same sugars found in fruits. It has a slight salty taste as well, kind of like seafood or those salty snacks you love. Semen is full of protein, amino acids, and zinc, so it’s actually good for you. It might even remind you of almonds or dairy, depending on what you’re into. Long story short, it’s not so bad, and if the fella is healthy and hydrated, it can even taste pretty pleasant. So, go ahead—don’t overthink it. It may not be your idea of a healthy treat, but I assure you that it is way more fun.

The Fetishization of Brogurt Consumption

Semen consumption isn’t just a random kink—it has an entire subset of fetishes dedicated to it. Cum eating instructions (CEI), for example, is a fetish in which women are instructed (or commanded) to consume semen as part of a power dynamic. There are also other variants, including men being encouraged to consume their own semen as a way to reclaim dominance over their bodily fluids. In many cases, women are expected to view semen as something to be consumed reverently or even craved. The way semen is fetishized in these scenarios often plays into female submission, with the consumption of semen being equated to obedience, pleasure, or the fulfilment of sexual duty.

However, here’s where the plot thickens: men, the creators of the very fluid in question, often exhibit a visceral disgust toward the idea of consuming semen themselves. It’s a strange contradiction. Men who willingly produce semen during sex, who might even find sexual pleasure in ejaculating, are repulsed by the idea of ingesting their own or anyone else’s bodily fluid.

Why the Double Standard About Man Gravy?

This double standard—where women are expected to consume semen eagerly and even enjoy it, but men recoil in disgust at the thought of doing so—raises some interesting questions about gender, power, and societal expectations.

It’s important to note that, historically, women’s sexual autonomy has been regulated by a variety of cultural norms, and this extends to bodily fluids like semen. Semen, in many ways, has been presented as something to be revered, consumed, and even absorbed as a symbol of male virility and dominance. For some, the act of consuming semen is seen as a way for women to validate or solidify their place in a sexual dynamic, as though swallowing it somehow empowers their sexual role in the eyes of their male partners.

On the flip side, men’s refusal to consume semen can be seen as a reflection of deeper societal aversions to acknowledging male vulnerability and fluidity. Semen is often positioned as something of value in patriarchal societies, where masculinity is tied to control, power, and virility. Eating semen challenges this notion because it forces men to confront the bodily fluid they themselves produce in a very intimate and, for some, uncomfortable way.

For women, the act of swallowing or consuming semen can symbolize submission, but it can also be empowering in its own way—especially when done on one’s own terms. But for men, the idea of consuming their own semen or anyone else’s doesn’t hold the same allure. It forces them to confront a rawness or vulnerability they aren’t accustomed to in their sexual dynamics. The “disgust” many men feel when confronted with the idea of eating semen may be tied to cultural stigmas around male weakness or the loss of control.

The disgust men often feel about consuming semen is more nurture than nature. It’s largely shaped by societal norms and cultural taboos about masculinity and bodily fluids. Many cultures teach men that semen is something separate from pleasure or consumption, which creates a sense of disgust. However, if raised in a more open-minded environment, that aversion is less likely to form. So, it’s more about societal conditioning than an inherent natural response. So get over it, fellas.

The Benefits of Eating Gender Fluid

While the primary reason for many people consuming semen is for fetishistic reasons, let’s talk about the real and potential benefits of doing so, beyond the power plays.

• Nutritional Value: Semen contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. For example, the zinc found in semen is important for immune function, while the protein content could, in theory, support tissue repair. However, in the amounts that one would typically ingest during a sexual encounter, these nutrients are unlikely to have any major impact on overall health.
• Hormonal Impact: Some studies suggest that regular consumption of semen could provide small amounts of hormones like testosterone, but again, the effects would likely be minimal. Semen contains certain mood-boosting chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine, but these are present in very low concentrations.
• Psychological Aspects: Consuming semen can create a sense of intimacy or closeness or even humiliation. It’s not dissimilar to the way some people find emotion in sexual acts—such as oral sex or mutual masturbation—as a form of connection.

But ultimately, these benefits are often secondary to the power dynamics and sexual gratification that come with the act of consuming semen in fetish contexts.

The Delicacy for Women, Disgust for Men Dynamic

Let’s now address the true point of this blog: the inherent weirdness of it all. The idea that semen is somehow a delicacy for women and a disgusting substance for men is not just strange—it’s rooted in cultural expectations that we rarely question.

We are often told that women should be eager to please their male partners by swallowing semen, while men express embarrassment or disgust when confronted with the idea of performing the same act themselves. This can be traced back to the notion that women’s sexual pleasure and submission should be tied to male satisfaction. Meanwhile, men’s pleasure is often considered the pinnacle of sexual encounters, and female acts like swallowing are positioned as a means to heighten that pleasure or assert sexual power.

But here’s the kicker: if semen is truly something to be revered and consumed, then why is it viewed with disgust when the men themselves are expected to engage with it? If it is a sign of dominance, virility, or masculinity, why are men so reticent to take part in it beyond ejaculation?

Semen Consumption: Breaking the Taboo

It’s time to question why we place so much emphasis on the consumption of semen as a symbol of submission for women and a gross act for men. The truth is that the way we think about semen, its consumption, and its role in sex is influenced by deeply ingrained cultural norms around gender, power, and sexuality.

Let’s be real—there’s absolutely no scientific reason to be squeamish about consuming semen. It’s just another bodily fluid, and if we’re being honest, it’s no different from swallowing saliva or sweat. Yet, so many people get hung up on the idea of it being gross or taboo, especially when it comes to the power dynamic. Maybe it’s the whole “eating something you produced” thing that makes some feel a little weird, but that’s more about societal conditioning than any biological truth.

If anything, semen consumption can be a fun way to embrace vulnerability and ownership over your own body. So, toss out the squeamishness and embrace the fact that semen is perfectly harmless—just a little protein, some amino acids, and a splash of mineral goodness. The real power here isn’t in avoiding it; it’s in being confident enough to own it.

If we could approach this taboo with the same open-mindedness and willingness to explore that we approach other sexual dynamics, we might find that the act of consuming semen—whether for pleasure or power play—isn’t inherently gross or gendered. It’s a personal choice that should be based on mutual respect, consent, and the understanding that sexuality is subjective, fluid, and ultimately about what feels right for the individuals involved.

Until we can shift these cultural norms and recognize the hypocrisy in the current narrative, the double standard surrounding semen consumption will remain. Regardless of whether you are using it for invisible ink or drug delivery robots, it’s time to challenge these absurd expectations and allow individuals to decide for themselves what feels empowering or pleasurable—without shame or judgment, whether you’re male, female, or anyone in between.
