<\/a>Sex may permeate our popular culture, but conversations about it are still associated with stigma and shame in Indian households. As a result, most individuals dealing with sexual health issues or trying to find information about sex often resort to unverified online sources or follow the unscientific advice of their friends. To address the widespread misinformation about sex, News18.com is running this weekly sex column, titled \u2018Let\u2019s Talk Sex\u2019. We hope to initiate conversations about sex through this column and address sexual health issues with scientific insight and nuance.<\/em><\/div>\n

In this article we will take a closer look at one of the internet\u2019s viral questions: Does semen really make your skin glow?<\/em><\/p>\n

The belief that semen has rejuvenating powers isn\u2019t just a modern internet trend. Across cultures and centuries, semen has often been symbolised as life force, vitality, and fertility. Ancient Chinese medicine viewed semen as \u201cJing” , an essence that carried vital energy. In Ayurveda, semen was sometimes considered a refined product of all the body\u2019s fluids. With the rise of beauty industries, bizarre claims occasionally popped up in phones and underground magazines suggesting that semen could be a \u201cnatural facial treatment.” The idea persists because it combines taboo, and curiosity.<\/p>\n

In the age of viral content, even wild beauty hacks spread quickly when they promise something simple and \u201csecret.” Memes, blogs, and videos have circulated, promising clear skin, fewer wrinkles, and a natural glow. Psychology also plays a role: semen is seen as a \u201cconcentrated life fluid,” so it feels intuitive to some that it might nourish skin. However, intuition does not equal evidence.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s In Semen?<\/h2>\n

To understand this claim, let\u2019s break down semen composition. Semen is not just sperm. Sperm cells make up less than 5 per cent of semen\u2019s total volume. The rest is seminal fluid, mainly secreted by the prostate and seminal vesicles.<\/p>\n
