“Although it’s produced by mammals, there’s no material you wouldn’t find from a non-animal source,” Larbi concludes. Writing at the Metro U.K., Miranda Larbi asks if it’s okay for a vegan to swallow semen, noting that the ingredients of semen are mostly water, 1 percent sperm, and a mixture of amino acids, calcium, citrate, magnesium, potassium, Zinc and Vitamin C. (This of course begs the question: Are most men going down on most women on Valentine’s Day? Pshaw.)
Recently, the question was asked in light of so-called Steak and a BJ Day, a joke holiday that’s meant to be the dude’s Valentine’s: to make up for giving her flowers and candy on February 14th, women are supposed to cook their men a steak and go down on them as a payback. Every so often, the question circulates: Is it okay to eat semen if you’re vegetarian or vegan? After all, it’s the protein of a mammal, and vegans and vegetarians refrain from other versions of this, like eggs and milk.
