is there any scientific research into whether seman really is good for a sore throat?

[Gigantaur]

Because i have what feels like flu coming on. i am all sneezy and bunged up and headachey, and i have a sore throat.

There is no way in the world dp is getting any tonight, and even less chance he'll be getting oral.

But saline is meant to be good for helping things like sores and cuts etc so i guess it kinda makes sense (given that seman apparently is salty)

Is it water or salt you're short of?

Because you can probably pop round next door and they'll let you have some.

Have no inclination to play guinea pig don't worry.

Just that i moaned to DP who gave the typical male response of "you know what's good for a sore throat "

which had me thinking.

Can you tell im bored?

Next time he has a gammy sore eye, will you suggest he tries to get some in to it?

You know, with a nifty manoeuvre or two....

Cos saline is good for conjunctivitis too

Eww. I have no hesitation in suggesting this was made up, by a bloke.

Besides it always gives me a sore throat in the first place!

The best thing for a sore throat IMO is whisky, lemon, hot water and honey so unless he can ejaculate a hot toddy I'd decline.

sidge - he would be a very happy boy if he could

I will absolutely be suggesting that to him Val

I could tell exactly how the conversation with your DP went just from the thread title, and so could DH when I read it to him!! ROFL!

Those men really will try anything, won't they?!

I know not whether anyone has conducted any clinical trials on the medicinal qualities of semen.

However, it has been proven that semen contains prostaglandins.
It has been proven that prostaglandins are anti-inflamatories
It has been proven that anti-inflamataries help infection and inflamation
A soer throat will be inflammed

therefore it makes sense (by inference) that semen may be good for a sore throat.

Personally I would go with teh Strepsils

YMKM, I'd go with the Strepsils too. Having a sore throat and feeling a bit shite is not time to be conducting a medical trial
