What is "seminal fluid"?

Seminal fluid is a vital component of human reproductive biology, secreted by the male reproductive system. It is a fluid mixture that accompanies sperm cells during ejaculation. Seminal fluid contains various substances, including fructose for energy, enzymes for sperm activation, and prostaglandins for smooth muscle contractions. It provides nourishment, protection, and lubrication to sperm, enhancing their motility and chances of successful fertilization. Overall, seminal fluid plays a crucial role in facilitating the journey of sperm and increasing the likelihood of successful reproduction.

Examples

1. Because their seminal fluid contains special mind-controlling proteins that affect the female’s behavior.

2. They think that proteins in the seminal fluid poison a rival’s sperm.

3. One study out of University of Washington suggests that the more seminal fluid a female takes in, the greater the influence her mate has on her reproductive behavior.

4. Which is why a man's seminal fluid is also sometimes called his seed.
