The Link Between Oral Sex & Morning Sickness

They say that when you're hung over, the best thing for you is to drink another beer. While some people stand by the concept that "hair of the dog" is the best way to get yourself back on track after a night of drinking, others think that mass amounts of hydration, Tums and a dark room will do the trick. No matter where you stand on the matter, you're about to view the phrase "hair of the dog" — the idea that whatever made you ill can make you feel better — in a whole new light.

According to Gordon Gallup, a SUNY-Albany psychologist, the best way to cure morning sickness when you're pregnant is by ingesting what made you sick in the first place: semen. That's right. If you want to quit throwing up all the time during your pregnancy, you should have sperm on tap at all times. But not just anyone's semen; apparently, it's only the juice of the impregnator that will get the job done.

Morning sickness coincides with an early phase of fetal brain development that is very, very delicate. During that period it is easy for the fetus to develop serious/fatal problems if mom's diet includes anything poisonous.

Part of the system is essentially advocating for the fetus. The fetus would probably prefer mom consumed nothing but glucose water during that delicate early development stage. Meanwhile, the rest of Mom often doesn't even know she's pregnant yet and would like to eat.

Pungent, acidic and bitter things, or the thought of such, seem nauseating. (Likelier to be the sort of mild poisons one finds in edible plants)

Women in early pregnancy do show a lot of forced pair-bonding sexual behavior to firm up the relationship before she gets too pregnant to forage as well for herself (and increase likelihood of dad feeling/accepting paternity when the bump shows, and when the child is born), and consuming a lot of their mate's sperm might help with that bonding, so to speak.

But there is no reason that dad's sperm would negate the evolutionary benefit of avoiding toxins during that period.

So I doubt it.

(Eating charcoal is probably more effective. Burnt toast and milk...)

24. Not related to morning sickness but to induce labor our doctor suggested she eat my semen.
Mon Jul 30, 2012, 10:35 PM
Jul 2012

Worked. It was pretty funny the way the doctor said it, too. She basically said "We can induce labor by putting a suppository derived from pig semen inside you or...you can swallow his semen."

I've Googled this a few times over the years because the story is so strange but apparently it's a thing. Look up I think it's called ptussin or ptossin or some shit like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if semen of the impregnator had other curative properties for pregnant women. I don't know about Dr. Gallup's theory, though. Sounds like just a hypothesis. During pregnancy, the mother and I regularly had hardcore end of the world sex and she never had morning sickness. Again, though, I don't know if that proves anything scientific.
