[edit] Semen is not the same as seminal fluid
Hi
The first line in the article states that 'Semen is an organic fluid, also known as seminal fluid, that may contain spermatozoa'. This is not correct. Semen is the term for the substance ejaculated from the penis. It consists of seminal fluid, spermatozoa, and other cells. Can this be changed please as it is misleading.
[edit] Semen as adhesive or binding agent
There is evidence that both blood and semen were used as adhesive or binding agents in many cultures. Unfortunately the same discomfort with the topic that mars this article and makes it seem humorous in places has prevented the topic from being explored adequately. One not-uncommon use for semen was as a binding agent for bowstring wrapping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.42.220 (talk) 18:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Such a minor edit, I feel bad making a whole section about it, but...
Under the components and contributions chart, I feel like the word "vasectomy" should also be a link to the article. As of now, the only link to that article is in the related links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NashvilleTechie (talk • contribs) 19:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica
Under Spiritual Views it is stated that "Some chapters of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica practice the consumption of semen during the Gnostic Mass, composed by Aleister Crowley." While this may have been true at one time, it is certainly not the case today. Unfortunately there are no published sources that I can cite on this matter. I'd like to evaluate the source cited for the claim in the article, but there is insufficient information in the citation to find it. The source is a 5-volume work with articles by many different authors. The citation offers only a page number. In which volume is the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica discussed? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thiebes (talk • contribs) 00:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Got the source through interlibrary loan, and the cited page number of the first volume says nothing at all about this organization. I have removed the claim. If this source information can be corrected to provide some support for the claim, great, add it back. Otherwise this should not be here. (BTW I do know the claim is untrue due to my status as a priest ordained in this religion and having access to unpublished internal documentation, but I realize that can't be used as it is original research. Nevertheless the source doesn't support the claim.) --Thiebes (talk) 05:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
