When I was a kid, I was told that if I swallowed my chewing gum it would sit in my stomach and wad up over time with other gum I had swallowed. Nonsense, of course, but I wonder about something else.

What happens to the semen that doesn't leak out after intercourse? Is it absorbed into the skin? If the answer is that it's flushed out by the menstrual cycle, how about in the case of women after menopause?

If we had a microscope, would we be able to see a growing community of sperm, maybe in a subdivision? Would they be collecting unemployment checks, sitting at a bar and crying in their beers about the egg that got away?

Strange question, I know, but I'm really curious.

I always thought it just got absorbed by the body. I haven't had tons of sex, but for sure I felt good the next day when I had the night before -- I believe there are several chemicals/hormones in your cum that are beneficial and even give rise to a very slight buzz.
