Do sperm have health benefits

MEN, often in an attempt at being cunning, boast about how precious their ejaculate is, some even going to lengths to preach the health benefits of it.

Beauty Health And while it's universally agreed that without the 'precious' ejaculate procreation as we know it would end, more and more, women have taken these other messages as fact, advocating its use for everything from facials - it has been said to be effective in tightening the pores - to boosting the metabolism.

While many women use smarts to determine that this is just male tactics used to get them into bed, the issue has sparked enough debate to warrant answers from a gynaecologist. This week we put the questions to gynaecologist Dr Horace Fletcher.
Is semen a natural source of proteins, vitamins, minerals or the like?

Does semen help at all in any beauty regimen. "Semen is good for one thing and one thing only and that is to impregnate the woman. Beauty Health I will agree that the semen is made up of a lot of proteins but that is to nourish the sperm itself," Dr Fletcher said. "A woman would have to drink a glassful to get the protein from it. Where would she get that? A man's ejaculate amounts to about one teaspoon unless he had been deprived of sex for a long time."

That said,Beauty Health Dr Fletcher also quashed the idea that semen can remove acne and give clear healthy skin if used in facials. "Men probably say this because they want to dominate the woman but those things are not true," the doctor said
