I think this boils down to a textural argument. I see what you are saying from a “natural” standpoint. Raw egg whites/eggs and semen are likely very similar in a textural context. But knowing is half the battle. Hell, its ALL the battle…to keep it down. ---

Depressing thought- there are people who will do this, and my high school girlfriend wouldn’t even swallow \*my \*jizz. If she’s one of the contestants I’m going to be really upset! ---

I’d do it for a million. Maybe a bit less, but 50K won’t cut it. And now that I think about it, the fact that it’s animal semen and not a person’s - actually makes it a bit _less_ disgusting for me. Perhaps it’s because we tend to consume animal products like eggs and cheese so we’re used to the idea. It’s still gross, of course, so yeah - a million.
