Swallow, It’s Good For The Baby
I can’t believe this medical knowledge hasn’t been more widely distributed. You’d think guys would be printing this on handbills and posting it on every flat surface. I quote now from a blog called MommyLogic:
If you’re thinking about conceiving, or certainly if you are already pregnant, there is some pretty convincing evidence that instead of just swallowing, say, folic acid, you might want to swallow something else.
Let me be delicate about this, if I can.
As far as I can tell, not only should you be having lots of oral sex with the father of your baby — even up to a year before conceiving — you should also make sure to ingest his seminal fluid. Listen to what I’m telling you: the international medical community is giving you an Rx for oral. Sure, they say frequent intercourse is good, too, but oral is better. So, if you care about having a healthy baby and not potentially unleashing what scientists call a “destructive attack on the foreign tissues” of your fetus, if you want to avoid immunological disorders during pregnancy, and I’m sure you do, get to work. Or to pleasure, depending on how you feel about it.
Basically, the research says you need to be able to tolerate your baby’s foreign, paternal DNA; in other words, you need to get your body accustomed to the stuff, need to cozy up to some daddy double helix for a while so your body doesn’t reject it.
I’m no doctor, just a pregnant lady with Google, so maybe I’m horribly confused, but here is what I found excerpted online, from the Journal of Reproductive Immunology:
“While any exposure to a partner’s semen during sexual activity appears to decrease a woman’s chances for the various immunological disorders that can occur during pregnancy, immunological tolerance could be most quickly established through oral introduction and gastrointestinal absorption of semen.”
I could not make this up. Gastrointestinal absorption of semen. I know. For the man in your life, this news should not be hard to swallow. Sorry.
According to a group of Dutch researchers, “exposure to semen provides protection against developing preeclampsia.” That’s from a paper with the catchy title, “Immune Maladaptation in the Etiology of Preeclampsia: a Review of Corroborative Epidemiologic Studies.” Or you could use the subtitle: “Semen is Your Friend.”
I just can’t figure out why the whole “blue balls” thing has gotten so much traction with men, but they never got ahold of this medical morsel.

I googled “immune maladaptation theory of preeclampsia” because the bottom half of the MomBlog article seems to be debunking the top half. The most common word string in the results is: “These data do not support the immune maladaptation theory of preeclampsia. ”
So, this appears to be “Cold Fusion” for the moment.
But! The theory is reasonable and doesn’t have to apply only to Preeclampsia. I for one think a much larger study ought to be done. Also, as our Mommyblog says: “I will fall back on the medical opinion I always have about things that are either Suzanne Somers-y, or reek of placebo-ness, but are obviously benign: It can’t hurt, right?”
My girlfriend loves swallowing because she believes it makes
her skin healthy and takes care of wrinkles.
Who am i to argue.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, this would be exactly the thing to do. The male semen is “Jing,” which is the foundational essence of the body, which is also what babies are made of.
Men lose Jing through ejaculation, whereas women lose it through menstruation. Presumable women lose it through ejaculation as well, but the Chinese don’t get too chatty about that sort of thing. Especially in class.
But yeah. That’s very much indicated from a TCM standpoint. Also, walnuts, black beans, black rice, black sesame, black chicken, royal jelly, red grapes, sprouts, eggs, stuff like that.
In China, women are given black chicken soup after they give birth, to tonify their foundational essence after losing so much of it through the birth of the baby.
Alas, the women I have told this to remain thoroughly unconvinced of the validity of this method, despite scientific evidence of its efficacy. I can state, however, that a swift and direct application of the knee to the male sexual organs is an effective method of birth control . . .
Couldn’t “gastrointestinal absorption” occur in the rectum/colon?
