What is the macronutrient breakdown of a tablespoon of semen?

I agree with the first guy.

The consistency of the semen cannot really tell you anything about a sperm count.  The quality of semen is highly variable and can change due to hydration, diet, excercise, number of times one has ejaculated etc.

Crikey, it's a long time since my Biochem lectures, but I know there are energy supplies for the sperm cells long journey, in the form of sugars. The fluid comes from 2 glands by the way, the prostate is one and I can't remember the other, oh hell !\nOther interesting info, the average ejaculation is around 5ml (a teaspoon) and it has the calorific value of 8 oz of steamed broccoli/calabrese.

I'm afraid it's impossible to say unless you try it 1000 times,  ejaculate into a container from which you can have the number of sperm measured.  You can then calculate the average number of sperm produced each ejacultaion.  Take the global population figure and divide it by the average number of sperm produced each ejaculation and you'll have as close to your answer as you're going to get it.

The World Health Organisation provides a definition of a 'normal' sperm count (all numbers are a minimum): \n\n1- concentration of sperms = 20 million per ml. & 40 million/ejaculate\n\n2- total volume of semen = 2ml.\n\n3- 75% of sperms should be alive (it is normal for up to 25 per cent to be dead).\n\n4- 30 % of the sperms should be of normal shape and form.\n\n5- 25 %of the sperms should be swimming with rapid forward movement.\n\n6- 50 % of the sperms should be swimming forward, even if only sluggishly.\n\n\nLife Style changes to improve sperm count:\n- Regular exercise: moderate exercise helps you maintain a healthy body weight, helps control stress, and gives you a healthier overall body. Not too under or overweight since weight influences estrogen and testosterone levels.\n\n- relaxation exercises: Since infertility and life in general can be stressful, learn to relax. Stress is sometimes responsible for certain infertility problems such as hormonal problems.\n\n- Watch your body temperature: Avoid vigorous exercise, hot tubs, and saunas since they raise the body temperature and may cause changes in sperm count.\n\n- Avoid exposure to heavy metals: Heavy metal toxins may affect ovulation. A hair analysis can determine exposure.\n\n- Take age into consideration: A man's fertility begins to decrease after he is thirty so take this into consideration when deciding when to have children.

Nutrients are a general category and include macro-nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fats) and micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals). The distinction in the quote in question is probably a marketing tactic, emphasizing vitamins. But, don't read too much into it.

Why on earth would you want to thicken the semen?  Are you cooking a thanksgiving meal?  Try flour or corn starch.  Or if you want 'thick' semen prior to ejaculation, try dehydration.

Apparently drinking coffee increases your sperm count... (assuming you're a guy lol)

I would say protein. Water is a good answer to.

As far as I know semen is made up of mostly salt, water, proteins, sugar and even some vitamin D, and if you don't mind the bit of mucous and the sperm cells themselves that make up its consistency you can also throw that in as well. Although remember semen along with blood can transmitt STI(Sexual Transmitted Infections). IT is 100% safer if your swallowing your own semen as you should know if it's disease free.So in conclusion if semen is disease free it is harmless if swallowed.

From my hubby's database:\n\nfrom:\nhttp://ca.askmen.com/love/love_tip_200/232b_love_tip.html\nhttp://www.jackinworld.com/qa/qasem.html\n\nOf all the various aspects of the male human body, few are as variable from individual to individual as semen. The color, texture, and quantity — not to mention the force of ejaculation — vary greatly. Based on outward appearance we are all amazingly similar: virtually everyone has eyes, ears, a nose, and a mouth in the same place. But semen just doesn't work that way. \nJust like penis size, ejaculation volume and force are highly variable from individual to individual. Most guys want to ejaculate more semen with more force.\nIf you've done exercises like Kegels For Men, yes, it may have increased your distance — but probably not your volume. There's a *huge* variation from person to person with regard to ejaculation force as well as volume, and neither has anything to do with anything important (such as having children).\n\nA lot of guys would love it if they could make like one of the characters in Scary Movie and ejaculate so much that they plaster their girlfriends against the ceiling. And although that won't likely be happening anytime soon, it's believed that wheat germ increases seminal output. Bon appétit.\n(Butter's note: I only tried it once and it thickened my load like I've rarely seen before. Eat with oatmeal for better results)\n\nAmino acids, if taken regularly, are generally believed to increase ejaculate fluid. On the other hand, zinc seems to improve both the amount of sperm produced as well as the sperm's ability to move spontaneously and independently. Together with amino acids, this will increase normal sperm count and volume significantly. \nAmino acids are believed to increase ejaculate fluid (not the amount of actual sperm necessarily) if taken regularly. Some amino acids include:\n\nL-ARGININE HCL\nStudies show sperm and semen volume doubles, fertility improves (even among men with low sperm counts or poor sperm motility), and sperm health and activity increase with supplementation. Arginine is found in high concentrations in nuts and seeds like peanuts and almonds. It can also be found in chocolate and raisins. Some Natural Sources: Nuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chocolate, popcorn, raisins, brown rice, carob, gelatin desserts, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and protein rich foods. \n\nL-LYSINE\nResearchers find that this amino acids plus zinc increases sperm produced, stimulates testosterone production, and improves semen quality.\n\nEPIMEDIUM SAGITTATUM\nSometimes called "horny goat weed," this botanical boosts libido and testosterone levels for greater sperm production for a strong ejaculation.\n\nZINC OXIDE\nHas been shown to increase number of sperm and sperm motility by 80% to 200% by aiding testosterone synthesis.\n\nL-CARNITINE\nThis amino acid is found in high concentrations in healthy sperm. Proven to significantly increase the percentage of highly motile sperm.\n\nCATUABA BARK\nBrazilian herb that strengthens the libido, and nourishes the entire male reproductive system.\n\nPUMPKIN SEED\nSupports prostate health and hormonal production. While they may not readily increase sperm volume, they do enhance prostate health and testosterone production.\n \nMACA\nLegendary South American botanical proven to promote libido, potency and energy.\n\nGinseng Y\nohimbe bark\nVitamin C, E\nMagnesium\n(Butter's note: Lecithin added daily increases amount, not thickness)\n\nZinc has been shown to improve both the amount of sperm you produce and the sperm's ability to move spontaneously and independently. Coupled with amino acids (see above), this will increase sperm volume significantly.\n(Butter's note: Not as miraculous as they make it sound, but regular zinc intake (50mgs a day) does increase quantity somewhat.)\n\nWhatever a pill company's claims are, you can probably do just as well with zinc a

A man's ejaculate contains millions of sperm. The exact number depends on the individual. Sperm is constantly produced so as to replenish the supply after ejaculation.

Semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid; about 10-30% of the seminal fluid is produced by the prostate gland, the rest is produced by the two seminal vesicles called bulbourethral glands . The prostate also contains some smooth muscle that helps to expel semen during ejaculation.The purpose of seminal fliud is to supply a viscous, alkaline secretion that forms a part of the sperm secreations it is rich in nutrients, including citric and amino acids and fructose to provide an energy source for sperm metabolism and to enhance sperm motility.

Three grams of protein in one egg white.\n\nSix grams if you include the yolk.
