A few years back sperms hit the limelight when sperm facials became a rage! But sperms are not just about sex. We all know that sperms lead to babies but there are multitude health benefits of sperms too. Don’t believe us? Read on to the health and non fertility-related benefits of sperms.
Semen is a natural anti-depressant: Studies suggest that exposure to semen can lower symptoms of depression. The study compared female students who were having sex with condoms versus those who were having sex without, and found that the latter group overall showed fewer signs of depression. Women absorb semen quickly, and thus its benefits can be easily detected in the bloodstream.
Sleep better: Semen contains melatonin which is a chemical that induces sleep and relaxation. Whether you ingest it, or receive it through intercourse, it will enter your bloodstream and help you sleep better than most over-the-counter sleep aids.
Multivitamin: One teaspoon of semen contains over 200 proteins and several helpful vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, citric acid, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12 and zinc.
Lower Blood pressure:A recent study suggests that swallowing semen on a regular basis can lower your blood pressure. Women who swallow their male mate’s sperm during oral sex often have a much lower risk of getting preeclampsia — a complication during pregnancy that results in super-high blood pressure.
Lowers the risk of prostate cancer: The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that “high ejaculation frequency was related to decreased risk of total prostate cancer.” This means that whether you do it alone or with a friend, if you’re ejaculating regularly, you’re lowering your chances of getting prostate cancer later in life. Suddenly the term “release your demons” takes on new meaning.
PS: Always for protected sex.
