An average human male produces about 1,500 sperm per second, which adds up to over 100 million sperm per day.
It takes every single one of those sperm cells about 64 days to fully mature.
And on average, a male's orgasm will create an ejaculate that contains between 200 million and 500 million sperm.
While sperm's primary role is for reproduction, sperm also has several other uses. And one of the them, is to use it for cosmetics. The concept that has gained attention due to claims about its potential skin benefits.
Though it is not widely practiced or scientifically endorsed, a content creator has shared her own experience after using her boyfriend's sperm for more than what she think is necessary.
The content creator, known as Malelly, claims to be a 27-year-old female, and said that she has been using her boyfriend's sperm as a facial cleanser every day.
To make sure that she could do this, she said that she had kept her partner's fluids inside ice cube trays inside a freezer, and thaw it as needed for her skin care.
"Did you know that semen is a collagen bomb?" she said.
"I started using my boyfriend's sperm daily in the morning [and] storing it in ice cube trays to facilitate use."
And here, the former biomedicine student said that she had been doing that daily for at least 6 months, and claimed that she saw benefits.
"I have always sought natural alternatives for skincare and, after much research, discovered the benefits of sperm," she said in an Instagram post.
But unfortunately, while her skin was left glowing, things go south in her relationship.
According to the influencer, the dynamics of their relationship changed drastically.
"At first, he found it funny and even felt useful. But over time, our relationship started to cool down," she said, adding that, "it seemed like he was there just to provide the sperm I used on my face."
Malelly admitted that tensions escalated to the point where her boyfriend felt uncomfortable and undervalued.
"He began to question if I loved him or if I was just interested in the sperm he provided. And I started to realize that something was wrong."
Long story short, the relationship between Malelly and her boyfriend turned sour, as he felt less like a boyfriend and more like a "supplier."
"He began to feel undervalued and questioned my feelings, which led to many arguments," she said. "The use of sperm as skincare really worked for my skin, but the price was too high for our relationship."
"After a while, he even said he felt a bit disgusted by the idea of me using sperm as a beauty product."
In the end, the two ended the relationship.

Malelly then said that she's looking for a new "natural alternatives," and is open to getting a "new supplier."
"Now, I am looking for new natural alternatives for my skincare that don't complicate my love life," she said.
Again, it's worth noting that there isn't any scientific evidence that says semen is good for skin, or even useful as a beauty care.
Despite it may do a little to help with complexion, there are some drawbacks in putting sperm on the face.
Examples include allergic reactions to sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
But still, Malelly doesn't really care about having the spunky sweetie’s sticky treatments, and that there are many other women who are amongst forever young wannabes also don’t mind soaking their faces with the tiny little swimmers.
It's worth noting that Malelly, whose real name is Marcela Lelly, is a college drop out, who is pursuing a career in creating adult content, including on OnlyFans.
Proud of her 100% natural body, she explained that she does not intend to undergo plastic surgery.
"That way, they don’t confuse me with women created by AI (Artificial Intelligence)," the Rio de Janeiro native commented.
"I’ve thought about getting silicone implants several times, because there’s aesthetic pressure, I keep comparing myself to other creators. But most of my followers insult me when I talk about it. In fact, I like being natural," she said.
"I think round breasts with silicone are very beautiful, but today I prefer mine with a shape similar to little drops, they are incredible, they don’t need to be big," she continued.
The woman, who has a distinct "1997" tattoo on her lower abdomen, added that she realized she could use her passion as an adult model for biomedicine in a different way, "educating and entertaining my subscribers at the same time. And keeping my body natural is a crucial part of that," she then said.
So here, it may suggest that her sperm beauty care could actually be part of her idea of publicity and boosting her popularity.
