Is there any nutrition in sperm?

Answer:

Sperm, or more appropriate to your question, semen, is about 95% water. There are trace amounts of zinc, Vitamin C and some other minerals and elements, but it's mostly water. It's probably not enough to keep you alive, but it won't kill you either. Remember, its mission in life is to swim up the vagina, find an egg and beat its head against the door until it gets in. It's not designed as a sports drink....

Additional opinions from WikiAnswers contributors:

• Yes, it has lots of vitamins and also proteins and amino acids. It is really good for you. It has anti-depressant properties as well that improve your mood.

• Recent scientific studies from the FDA show that the consumption of sperm is directly correlated with weight loss. The results on average showed that consumption of 9 grams of sperm per week led to losing 1 pound of body fat.
• ** The above statement would prove very useful line on girls -if it were true- which it isn't. Sperm does NOT cause weight loss and is NOT a proven antidepressant

• To correct the "antidepressant" issue, sperm HAS been associated with elevated mood in a recent study, but this was only concerning unprotected vaginal intercourse, not swallowing. Participants in the study agreed to have only either protected vaginal intercourse or unprotected vaginal intercourse. Females whose partner ejaculated inside the vagina were significantly happier, on a consistent basis, than those whose partner used a condom. The effect is assumed to be because of hormones contained within the ejaculate fluid, which would be absorbed by the female body. In the case of oral sex, the hormones would be broken down by the digestive tract before they could have any effect.
