Uncooked, of course, they taste horrible – but cooked properly, they can create wonderful recipes. I then wondered: While there is a natural propensity to dislike the idea, why hasn't anyone seriously looked into recipes using semen – not as a joke, but in a serious gourmet manner? Semen is free, easy to obtain, and has unique properties that might create recipes otherwise difficult to procure. There once was a site devoted to this, but apparently it was taken down. Why is such a thing so harshly fought against? Is it because it is considered cannibalism or such? Why is eating semen considered appropriate in a sexual context, but serious cooking with it is thought to be horrible?
Ingesting semen is considered by most people to be repulsive except, for some, in the specific context of sexuality. Outside of this context, there seems to be a near-universal (or at least societal) aversion to the ingestion of any bodily by-products; imagine how most people would react if you mentioned a snot milkshake, saliva daiquiri, fingernail Jell-O, or (since we're on a roll) an actual "hair pie." Most people are at peace with their own saliva in their mouths or their own hair on their head, but once a bodily by-product leaves or is detached from the body, it somehow becomes "dead" – something to be discarded quickly. That "eww factor" definitely intensifies when it's someone else's bodily by-product (again, outside of sexual contexts) or a sexual thing like semen. On a more practical note, semen is highly variable from person to person and even from day to day, so even if you were just whipping up a seminal souflée or apple crisp à la load in your private kitchen, it would be difficult to get any consistency in flavor or, um, consistency. So, I wouldn't invest just yet in that semen-cuisine restaurant – but if you're looking for possible names, may I suggest: The Fertile Crescent? Poppa's? Chez Onan? Shooters?
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
