You don’t have to be a porn star to swallow. The average male semen contains roughly 0.1 and 100 milliliters of sperm and holds a fascination for both men and women in the form of swallowing semen. As far as consistency and taste go, that is usually the issue in question when it comes to whether a partner swallows or not.
The fetish of swallowing traces its’ origins a long way back. Dating back to the Church of Epiphanius and other libertine Gnostics who swallowed sperm as the body of Christ, and a form of worship. The tribes of Papua New Guinea have culturally believed that semen provides sexual maturity among the younger men of the tribe. The practice of fellating the elders in order to gain their authority and power is held for prepubescent and post pubescent men of the tribe. This practice may also relate to practiced homosexuality in these tribes.
Dietary supplements have been on the market for a number of years as a way to increase the volume of semen provided in a man. None of these supplements have been validated by the scientific community.
The typical makeup of ejaculation consists primarily of water but also contain every nutrient needed by the human body in order to function properly. A typical dosage of semen contains at least 150 mg of protein, 11 mgs of carbohydrates and other trace minerals. The only risks involved in swallowing cum are those of fellatio such as transmission of STDs between unclean partners.
While there is no hardcore scientific evidence in changing the taste of semen, many people swear diet has an influential factor in shaping the taste. Red meats, tobacco and alcohol typically infuse a bitter or acrid taste while coffee and teas also do nothing to aid in the taste. Fresh fruits and vegetables, while good for the body are also believed to sweeten the taste significantly. Prolonged times between ejaculation intervals are also said to contribute to the volume of semen produced and shot out.
Sexual practices of swallowing have gone so far to include bukkake from the Japanese culture, cream pies, snowballing and felching, which may involve more than one partner. Aleister Crowley and the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica practice swallowing semen during Gnostic Mass as a way to gain spiral power from the Divine.
