According to a 2025 study in *The Journal of Sexual Medicine*, there is no scientific evidence that abstaining from ejaculation for a month, as in the NNN challenge, offers significant health benefits for sexual or psychological well-being. This online trend, widely popularized, is based on a host of unsubstantiated claims that need to be separated from scientific fact.

Semen is primarily composed of water, with dehydration being a far more direct factor affecting its volume than a single food like celery. The internet myth that eating celery double your load is popular but lacks scientific substantiation, relying on misunderstandings about its nutritional properties.

According to scientific reviews, a typical ejaculation contains a nutritionally insignificant amount of protein, with one average 5ml sample containing approximately 252mg. This article explains how much protein is in male sperm, its purpose, and why the quantity is so low it has no practical nutritional benefit.

Despite persistent myths suggesting a significant nutritional content, the reality is that semen contains a negligible amount of calories and nutrients, making it an insignificant dietary source. While many people ask, 'How many calories are in a teaspoon of semen?', the answer is surprisingly low, and its ingestion carries important health considerations beyond just nutritional value.

Despite widespread use, persistent rumors and misinformation about creatine's effects on the body continue to circulate. Many people wonder, 'Does creatine make your thing bigger?'

The notion that eating pineapple can quickly sweeten semen is a long-standing myth, but the reality is much less immediate. According to urologists, changes to the body's fluids as a result of dietary habits actually take several days to weeks to manifest, making the idea of an overnight transformation from eating pineapple an impossibility.
