Re: Can semen ferment (with lots of sugar)?

Hello, Tyler.

Although your question is rather "curious", the short and simple answer 
to your question is that, yes, semen can ferment.  

Indeed, there have been a few experiments done on this in order to find 
out what type os sugar was naturally occurring in semen, and also in 
applications for animal husbandry.

It is established that sperm contains fructose as its main sugar.  This 
is needed to give sperm their energy, much like we humans utilize glucose 
for our source of energy.

Any liquid can be made to ferment, provided it has two sources.  The 
first being a sugar, and the second being yeast.  Sperm contains the 
sugar fructose, therefore, adding a yeast culture to it would allow it to 
ferment.

A perhaps interesting experiment.  One never knows where the curious 
minds of science enthusiasts takes us? 

Hope that helps,

Peter Bosani.
