I know this sounds gross but I was wondering if semen is used in any different cultures to add nutritional value to food, maybe in a starving nation? I know there is calories and I know that it is protein so I thought that if you were stranded on a deserted island for example you could eat semen to help stay alive. Or do cultures use animal semen in recipes? I know that some cultures eat human afterbirth, fetuses, and weird animal parts included the testicles..so just curious if they use semen as well.

That's an interesting question...
(Why is it in 'Vegetarian and Vegan,' though?)
My guess is no, given the risks of disease. Or at least not officially. I'd be surprised if a desperate third worlder hadn't swallowed a load while at least thinking of it as a food source, but there just wouldn't be enough for there to be recipes.
You'd also have to consider the amount of calories that would be expended to produce those particular calories... Even if it was from an animal, retrieval would still be difficult. And, what starving person wouldn't just kill the animal first?

The protein comes from FOOD. The body doesn't make protein out of thin air. If you were stranded on an island and had nothing to eat, your body would be starved of protein (and other nutrients) and stop making semen. Geez, high school biology. How can a guy's body make protein when there is nothing to eat????? Protein is made from amino acids and these amino acids come from plants/animals we eat.

If what you say about semen is true, then it brings up another question I have. I am trying to workout and build muscle to attract the ladies. I know an important aspect of building muscle is to consume protein. I am straight, but I am open-minded, especially if it will get me to my goal faster. If I suck off a lot of guys, how much faster will I get to my goal, and if adding a semen supplement to my diet might help, or if there is such thing, please supply me with information. Thanks so much for your help.
