Would You Try This?: The Spermine Facial

facialphoto.jpgSo I was browsing through this week’s New York magazine on my way to work this morning and read a short piece on how the latest craze in anti-aging treatments is a sperm-based facial. I’m sorry, what now?

Called the Spermine Facial, it consists of slathering synthesized human sperm on your face and then running an ultrasound and infared light over the substance to help it, ahem, penetrate deeper. Townhouse Spa is currently offering this service for $250.

Apparently studies were conducted (can you imagine that clinical trial?) that showed that the antioxidant found in human sperm makes your skin softer and less wrinkly. I’ve seen people put some pretty crazy stuff on their face in the name of beauty but this takes the cake. I’m all for piling on the lotions and potions to keep my skin looking its best, but I don’t think I could get over the gross-out factor on this one.

Would you try the Spermine Facial or is this just too gross for words?

YES! The woman made her sons give her "samples" in a cup every night to rub on her face. This is too gross. How do you lie still while someone is rubbing that all over your face? Yuck.

The article says that it's SYNTHESIZED human sperm, so no, not gross.

Obviously it's sanitary, my problem with it is you are going in to basically get test tube sperm rubbed on your face. The idea of it just skeeves me out. Am I being too big of a baby about this or is anyone else really disturbed about that?

I mean, can you imagine the bedroom conversations that are going to take place once guys start hearing about this?

I don't know. I've seen porn stars with pretty bad skin so I'm not sure I believe enough in the benefits here. Though this is a sure way to get your boyfriend interested in your beauty routine.

LOL Darcykins.
#3 its still a strangers sperm. Synthesized or not, its still icky. like the nightingale poo facials. Its not the germs that gross me out it is the idea behind the product. Wouldnt you just picture the gross men who offered to donate it and all the dirty things they thought about to get that sample? At least Darcykins knew her donor.

Hello, Nip/Tuck episode!
and lol @9. where do you plan to apply this "facial" to fear getting pregnant?

and no, not really gross. it's like peeing on a jellyfish burn - if it works who cares..
but $250 might be a bit much for something most people can get for free. does synthesized make it have a better effect? hmm something to look into

Did you read the NY Mag article? It says the antioxidant DISCOVERED in human sperm is being synthesized for facials. No one is applying sperm to anyone's face.

for once (ONCE, Britt!) I don't hate one of Megan's posts. I do love how #11 basically ruined the credibility, however.

i actually want to tell my fiance about this post, then he'll stop yelling at me for being on this damn site and getting the tweets all throughout the day.

I'm always amazed at some womens adversion to the natural product of a great deal of fun.
I've always thought that if a woman had a lover who thought the same way about the female anatomy and it's secretions she's be quite offended. Can you imagine having your boinking partner tell you your muffin was gross and the juices were nasty....I guess head would be out of the question....:-)
Imagine if both partners were like this!
Nothing like having sex with an anally retentive prude...lol

With this many comments I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mae West, who firmly believed in putting sperm on her face to keep herself looking young.
Just thought you might like the celebrity endorsement.

I imagine a world where facial sperm demand goes through the roof, and every man in the world is hooked up to a milking machine to live out their days in a kind of zombified living orgasm hell. A few of the lucky ones will be expected to don nothing more than a frilly reversed apron and serve fresh produce, straight from the tap, to the super rich who languish in regular and increasingly more extravigant bukake parties. Men will be treated not as gods but as life support units for the real gods, the penis, now regarded as the fountain of youth.

In fact we should produce a kind of existential thinking mans porno based on the concept.

Well...

I am a 56 year old female and no one guess my real age.

People (men or women) are always guessing my age around 30/35 the most.

I still have my monthly period, every 28 days...regular like a clock.

My face, neck, body...are all wrinkles or blemishes free.

I have beautiful hair too...shinny and thick.

I owe my "fountain of youth" to sperm, the fresh and right from the source kind.

I have been ingesting huge quantities of it since I was 18...is always my favorite part of the oral sex, I don't waste it or leave any spills.

Just think about it...you can create another human being with sperm, it has all the vital components to rejuvenate your body.

Never done botox, or any cosmetic procedure...and my immune system is fantastic! I never ever catch even a simple cold of flu. The last time I got sick from a virus was before I started to consume sperm in a daily basis.

Many of you might read this and say eeeeewwww...but I am a living proof of the benefits a woman can have from it.

And, ohhh, I am married to a very happy 35 year old man who never complains about my daily regimen :)

Well, Guest 47 you are soooo far from the truth.

So, should I assume that you are one of those women who does not understand how important is oral sex for a man?

Sorry, but I am 56 and a very healthy, young looking female who believes in the powerful properties of the sperm.

The problem is, most women have no idea of how men bodies works and how beneficial having oral sex to completion is for both.

They learn from other women that this or that is disgusting and, like someone pointed out in a previous comment, IF men tell them their vagina secretions are disgusting they will be extremely offended.

I don't have the need to lie or make up stories. This is MY truth and I am just telling about the kind of benefits I get from my daily consumption of male sperm (my partner, of course).
