Semen: A Powerful Health Mystery
Sexual Health
Consider this: Semen itself has high concentrations of potassium, zinc, citric acid, fructose, phosphorylcholine, spermine, free amino acids, prostaglandins and enzymes, which nourish and protect the sperm.
For the male, the highest concentrations of valuable chemicals in the body are contained in the semen. Since the primary purpose of seminal fluid is only to provide a vehicle for semen, this is a bit of a mystery.
While it has been proven that women absorb some of these valuable chemicals from the male in coitus, it may also be reasonable to assume that if not frequently spent in sex the semen becomes available for mental and bodily development. It is also mysterious that in several aspects the chemistry of semen and the brain are more similar to each other than to any other bodily tissues.
Prostaglandins are produced in the male's seminal vesicles with very large amounts found in male semen. Men "waste" more prostaglandins in a single emission than women produce in a day in their entire body. It is a question just why prostaglandins are present in male semen since they have no reaction with semen and have been proven to do nothing to insure impregnation in the female.
Prostaglandins were first discovered and isolated from human semen in the 1930s by Ulf von Euler of Sweden. Thinking they had come from the prostate gland, he named them prostaglandins. It has since been determined that they exist and are synthesized in virtually every cell of the body. It has also been found that females absorb male prostaglandins after coitus in the vagina and uterus and actually have special receptor cells in the uterine wall to receive male prostaglandins.
An old wives' tale holds that women gain strength from men during coitus, and on this very basic chemical level this observation seems to be validated. Prostaglandins are one of the most refined of the body's products and women absorb these "super-chemicals" from males.
Since seminal fluid has no apparent purpose than as a vehicle for semen, why does it have such a concentration of valuable body chemicals? An ounce of semen has been found to be basically the concentration of the most valuable chemicals from 60 ounces of blood. No two tissues in the body show greater similarity in their lecithin, colesterin and phosphorous contents than the brain and semen.
Semen has 33 times the neutral amino acids, 28 times the acidic amino acids and 57 times the basic amino acids as the blood. It is thought that women absorb the body chemicals from male semen other than prostaglandins to enrich their body chemistry and health.
Some Gnostics now see the semen as universal medicine to heal everything. Others put their semen into a mouthful of brandy to make it more tasty.
Does the future hold semen as homeopathic medicine? Only time will tell.
