Brief Answer:
Ejaculate is safe in monogamous relationship

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query in HealthCareMagic

1. Drinking semen or vaginal fluid do not cause any health hazards unless your partner has any sexually transmitted infections. In a monogamous (single partner) relationship, it is quite safe.

2. As per modern medicine, sexual intercourse during periods do not have any concern in case of monogamous relationship. Unprotected intercourse during periods have more risk of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.

Hope your concerns are clarified. If you still have more concerns, feel free to write to me
