Do Vegan/Vegetarians swallow?

In another thread the subject of Paul Krassner, a satirist/comedian/whacko from years gone by, was interjected. Someone brought up his publication, The Realist.

In doing a search, a recent copy had this to say:

Gotta remember to use this question when I next meet a Vegan.

Hell, if some are willing to eat placenta stew, then I don’t think a little semen would be out of place.

Supposedly, yes.

Sheesh. How many times does this question have to be asked (and answered) on this board?

I humbly apologize for not searching before posting.

I’m a vegetarian and I don’t swallow, because it is an unsafe sex practice. There are a couple of things which would differentiate semen from steak for me. First, presumably anyone from whom I’m extracting semen agreed to and is willing to part with it, unlike the flesh of an animal. Second, the semen donor is able to get up and walk away afterward, again unlike the animal.

I’m sure someone will shortly bring up the cow from Restaurant at the End of the Universe, so allow me to foreclose.

Is semen kosher?

If you were doing a Rabbi, it would be.
