	'''Spermophagia''', also known as '''seminophagia''',{{Citation needed\|date=August 2009}} is the ingestion of ] for erotic gratification and/or physical or spiritual benefits. Sources of semen are human males or male animals. The most common way that swallowing of semen occurs is when ] or ] are performed to climax. Spermophagia is engaged in by people of both sexes; men may consume their own semen after ], ], or ].

	==Health risks==
	There is no risk in ingesting the semen of a healthy man.<ref>http://www.factbites.com/topics/Semen-swallowing</ref> Seminophagia carries no additional risk other than those inherent in ]. Fellatio does carry some risk for ]s such as ] or ],<ref>Rosenthal, Sara. ''The Gynecological Sourcebook'', McGraw-Hill Professional, 2003, ISBN 0071402799 p151</ref> however, HIV and all other viruses are inhibited by saliva<ref>http://jada.ada.org/cgi/content/citation/116/6/635</ref> and destroyed by stomach acid.<ref>http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Archive/Other/Q188582.html</ref> Research has suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with ] (HPV) might increase the risk of oral or throat cancer. The study found that 36 percent of the cancer patients had HPV compared to only 1 percent of the healthy control group. It is believed that this is due to the transmission of HPV because this virus has been implicated in the majority of cervical cancers.<ref>http://www.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news/Oral-Sex-Linked-To-Mouth-Cancer-Risk-5772-1/</ref>
	Even if semen is cold before the individual ingests it, viruses can stay active for a long period of time once outside the body. Contracting diseases from ] is more likely if there are sores in the mouth.

	==Taste==
	One source has noted that "few women praise the taste" of semen.<ref>Staines, L. ''What women want'' Rodale, 2000, ISBN 1579540937, p.236</ref> However, as with ], the taste of semen can be altered by diet. Higher red meat and dairy intake may increase its generally salty taste. Asparagus has been noted to cause bitterness, while parsley, celery, cinnamon, and many kinds of ] (especially tropical) are noted to sweeten it. The semen of heavy smokers and drinkers tends to carry a more acrid taste.<ref>http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/electronic-publications/stay-free/10/semen.htm \| "The Taste Below the Waist"</ref>

	==Cultural practices==
	Men generally prefer that their semen be swallowed rather than spit out because it provides a feeling of acceptance. Also, continuing to suck through the ] leaves him both physically and emotionally satisfied.{{Citation needed\|date=August 2009}}

	Several tribes of ] (the ], ], Sambia, Kaluli and Gebusi) believe that semen provides sexual maturation among the younger men of their tribe. To them, sperm possesses the manly nature of the tribal elders, and in order to pass down their authority and powers, younger men of their next generation must eat/drink their elders' semen. This fellatio and seminophagia custom commences among prepubescent males and postpubescents.<ref>http://www.gettingit.com/article/56</ref>

	==Spiritual views==

	In the modern ], consumption of semen in the presence of others is a form of worship.<ref>J. Gordon Melton (1996, 5th ed.). Encyclopedia of American Religions (Detroit, Mich.: Gale) ISBN 0810377144 p. 952.</ref> It is esteemed as sacred because of its divine life-giving power. Some chapters of the
