Semen Snacks?

Q: I am a chef as a hobby, and I've studied the unique chemical properties of eggs and how they can create recipes that would be otherwise impossible. 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?

A: 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?

Would you eat a semen-filled Oreo?

I've eaten some pie with some jizz on the top but it wasn't that nice of an experience, I like to eat my sweet and salty separately

While I think it'd be a cool idea to have a high class "semen restaurant", I wouldn't eat there...

Just go to McDonalds. You can be sure some teenager jerked off into your BigMac sauce.
