Anyone heard the one where a cheerleader drops over at a High school
Footbal game? Seems she is taken to the hospital and has something
like 1.5 - 2 gallons of semen pumped from her stomach. She was at a
party the night before with ALL of the football players and etc, etc.

I heard this one in 1977 when I was in High School. The claim was
that "someone" read it in the newspaper. The article could never be
found, but "gave her name, the High School, and the number of guys at
the party." We did the math and determined that each player would have
to "contribute" about 6-8 ounces. -- And that assumed that NONE was
digested in the almost 24 hours from the party to the "incident".

My wife heard this one when she was in High School (maybe in 1989),
but the incident was with Rod Stewart dropping over at a concert.
(Replace cheerleader with "Rod", change footbal player to male
groupies, etc.) My wife claims she "knows it is true" because she
heard it on a Chicago radio station.

{BTW, read the FAQ - couldn't find it.}

It's best to use some sort of search facility when you're trying
to look something up in the faq. The secret is in choosing the
right keywords. I grepped on "semen" and found:

F. Well-known male pop star rushed from concert, stomach pumped
free of semen.

THe cheerleader variant has, I think, been around some too. The
1.5 - 2 gallons part is new to me (and preposterous). In the versions I
heard (going back as far as the early '70's) it was always
"enough to fill a coke bottle." Always a coke bottle, never
Pepsi, 7-Up, or Dr Pepper.

The cheerleader story has to be one of the first ULs I encountered, and
I know my hearing of it dates back to 1972-74. At that time I was a
high school student and it was told to me as something that had "really
happened to a girl at this school a few years ago." However, there were
a couple of differences -- the girl wasn't a cheerleader and it was the
basketball team, not the football team. Oh yes, the story also took
place on the team bus.

What has always bothered me about this legend (whether it's told about a
cheerleader or a rock star) is all the semen is swallowed and its never
disposed of any other way. Even back in the days before safe sex and a
fella's use of condoms during this particular activity, spitting it out
onto a Kleenex was much more common than swallowing.

More implausible than the amount of semen pumped out of the girl's stomach
is that it got there in the first place.

I heard it around 1971 or so when I was in college, only it
had supposedly happened to a cheerleader at one of the area
high schools. The story at the time was 1.5 - 2 cups, though -
a far more plausible amount than the 1.5 - 2 gallons in the
version you report.

This story has made the rounds in Vancouver at various times as well. Of
course, the version I heard was a hockey player and a very ardent fan.

That's the part of the story that I always wonder about also. Barbara has
already pointed out that spitting is much more common than swallowing
(ObAFUNYCIV: unless the man/men in question were one of those that *makes*
the woman swallow). Having once been a twittering junior high schoolgirl (as
opposed to being a mullening university student), the impression I've
usually received is that only sluts would swallow, nice girls who are simply
doing What Their Boyfriends Want (TM) would spit the semen out. It's seen as
being dirtier and more wanton. So there is a dangerous quality in semen,
although it's less medical one and more of a reputation-minded quality.

I also have to wonder at the idea that people seem to think that the body
can't digest it.

Well, here in Southwestern PA it was *always* 1 quart. No more no
less. Over the years I have heard this tale re-told many times (since
@1974) and in each telling that conspicuous measurement came up. To
the point where certain "bad girls" would find empty quart milk
containers in front of their lockers to taunt them. While the quart
is a smaller amount it is no less unlikely than a gallon let alone 2.

But it is the meat of the matter. Aside from being the "evidence" of
the wrong doing, it is the benchmark of the perpetrator's
unwholesomeness (is that a word?) .

I've seen enough of this (first from Barbara, now from
you) to comment on it. I don't know what the norm is now, but I assure
you that in *my* day it was a macha(tm) kind of thing: Real Women
swallowed; wimpettes spit. Ultrawimpettes spit into a tissue especially

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. Joy Almond invented Almond Joy. And
she was the daughter of Lucretia Almond Knott whose family started Knott's
Berry Farm in another time; long, long ago.

Marc Almond was a timpanist with the BSO.

Let's see here. Although this is obviously an UL, let's do some math.

If I recall correctly, the average mans ejaculate has a volume of about
3.5 mL. For one litre this would be roughly 285 ejaculates. That's
quite a lot. Even we assume it's a good sized team, say 25 people,
that would be 11.5 times per guy. And let's say it takes 10 minute
per... um.... "sample extraction". That comes to 2850 minutes, or roughly
47.5 hrs of straight work. Granted, there could be ways of speeding up
the extraction time. But I don't think so. And that's just for the litre.
My god, 2 gallons would take about two weeks of straight work.

Now maybe if it was the hockey, football, basketball, baseball teams as
well as the chess club and it was an all-weekend party......

It seems the practical considerations of this UL would make it obviously
a legend...if it were just 1.5 to 2 cups of semen (which is basically
protein in suspension) it would be just as if she had a couple cups of
soup in her stomach...certainly not enough to make someone collapse. And
I don't think it would be *possible* to have 1.5-2 gallons of *any*
liquid in one's stomach...

The UL doesn't specifically blame the semen for the collapse, as I see it.
(Unless the ER doc determined that the cause of the collapse was toxin or
GI-related?)

Couldn't the cheerleader have simply collapsed from exhaustion after what
must have been several hours of hard work?

It made the states. I was living in L.A. at the time and both Tainted Love
and their lesser known "Sex Dwarves" got a lot of air play on the new wave
stations and some of the clubs.

The problem with my high school is we didn't have girls like that who
really believed in boosting school spirit.

When I was i Junior High it was either Rod Stewart or Mick Jagger who collapsed
on stage because of 6 oz. of c*m. We had no cheerleaders at my school. (I grew
up in NYC) No one believed the story anyway.

You know, when I was in high school, it was Jon Bon Jovi. And this extra
detail was added-it was dog semen. More recently, I heard this about Beck.

I'd suggest the opposite is true and that swallowing is often seen as
tangible proof of a girl's feelings for her fella. It's a way of showing
her love in that she's not rejecting so much as any part of him. In that
climate, it would be the "good" girls (the ones who are only doing this
because they're in love) who swallow -- those who are less afraid the
light of their life would feel somewhat rejected wouldn't.

Swallowing was seen as the supreme act of love 20 years ago when I was in
high school, and from what I read in the alt.sex groups today it's still
often viewed as something special a woman does only for her special guy.

Another data point: hookers almost always spit.

And even with the risk of HIV infection, it isn't true that none do
this unprotected anymore. Lots of hookers have drug habits, and are
hooking only to support the habit. People who need to get fixed are
pretty single-minded and tend to make expedient decisions more than
wise ones. Concerns about safe sex can easily fall by the wayside.

Others can decide how this fits into the good girl/bad girl thing.

Both good points. I'd like to know:

a) What *is* the average amount of semen found in one ejaculation
by a human male? Most people -- probably influenced by the
story about the famous rock band and its name -- claim 10cc,
but I've read in several other sources that it's closer to
4-5 cc.

b) How much liquid could the average female's stomach reasonably be
expected to hold?

I'd suggest any such statistic is meaningless.

Average? Assuming what, exactly? Some contributing factors...

1. Frequency of ejaculation (once a day? once a month? the fourth in a
three hour period)
2. Age
3. Length of time aroused prior to ejaculation

I'd doubt you could find a consistent amount over five ejaculations by
the same man, never mind trying this with 1000 men.

Add to that:

c) At what rate would the volume of liquid in question b) pass

d) Is the rate in question c) a function of viscosity?

I heard a variant on this one. A girl was taken to hospital and had her
stomach pumped after falling ill after a meal at a restaurant. The
doctor took aside the friend who brought her in and asked if she was a
prostitute as her stomach had contained "a rather large amount of male
genital fluid". The restaurent was investigated by the health
authorities and later closed down......

Boosting the school spirit hell! Mario Puzo's one foray into the

races. She said she was paid by some people to constantmasturbate

a) According to Maclean's Magazine (April 1, 1996, The Sperm

Scare pg 51) "...with most men ejaculating about 3
millilitres each time." (you can get a link to Macleans at

http://www.canoe.com)

b) I have no idea how much a average females stomach would hold,

but I think it would be in the neighborhood of 3000 cc's

So, if she had 2 cups (~500 mL) of semen in her stomach, she would
had to "service " about 167 men. If each man took 10 minutes,
this would mean she was "busy" for 27 hours. I don't think so.

Mabye it's an age-related phenomenon. Among my peers, swallowing
semen was regarded as just plain disgusting, based on the fact that it
tastes salty^W"bad" and with overtones of being something with which a Nice
Girl would want to have no contact. Then again, my small crowd in high
school was very much against sex before marriage (I'm always the odd freak
in any group). Among my friends at university, I've never really discussed
it, but considering that open sexuality is a lot more acceptable among us
then it was in high school, I don't think that anyone would really think it
said anything about the person either way. Then again, there may be that
aversion leftover from high school days, when having a sex life of any sort,
even if you didn't ask for it, instantly branded you a slut (no, I'm not
bitter or anything).

Barbara Hamel has pointed out that swallowing semen was regarded as
something to be done for a special man when she was in high school. From
this perspective, the cheerleader who, presumably, was swallowing the sperm
of many different men can be viewed as having cheapened something precious.
Maggie Newman mentioned that in her day, swallowing was viewed as macha. I
don't think that having that view of the practice in the UL would make the
UL work like it does to inspire feelings of disgust at what the cheerleader
has done. Instead, she'd be regarded as One Tough Chick.

Then there's also the image of cheerleaders. From my own high school
experience, cheerleaders were viewed two ways simultaneously. In one way,
they were always the most popular girls in each class. They were the people
that we were all supposed to look up to, and they were seen as being somehow
better and symbolically purer than the rest of us. This is perhaps a
leftover view from an earlier time, and was more peripheral than the second
conception of the cheerleader. They were seen as perky, and stupid, and
loose. They were "known sluts," and many guys would talk about what he
did/would like to do with a cheerleader/the squad. I think that a lot of
this view came out of a need to tear those girls down. After all, they were
the popular set, and had tortured the rest of us in earlier years. Picturing
one of them down on her knees and giving blowjob after blowjob is a nice
sort of revenge for those who weren't of their number, and adds to the
appeal of this story. Not only were this girl performing oral sex on this
guy (something which didn't reflect well on the reputation of the girl, at
least in my peer group), but she *swallowed* too! What a disgusting tramp,
now we can all giggle at her behind her back.

After rereading this post, it really strikes home to me exactly how
much we were living in a dream world where I grew up.

But part of this was a rejection of the old limitations of femininity and
an affirmation of "Real Women Aren't Wimpettes", yes? Not everyone has made
it that far, especially in junior high school.

One other observation that leaps to mind, but which I haven't seen
mentioned explicitly in this incarnation of the thread, is that in the
other familiar variant of this UL it's always a male rock star whose
stomach is pumped and found to be full of semen. The toxicity of the
semen there is no doubt related to the "perversion" of homosexuality. The
story thus creates a triple-decker moral commentary--1) homosexuality is
wrong and dangerous, 2) gay men are carelessly promiscuous, and 3) look at
the dissipated lifestyles of rock stars!

In addition, some etymologists contend that in the murky history of the

Some say that the idiom was so named because the drummer in a jazz band is

I think, for the case of this UL, average is an irrevelant word.

Someone, errr... engaging in oral sex with someone at a party, is
**probably** more likely to ejaculate more than their average (but that
is highly variable, of course).

Bzzt. _Loving spoonful_ is an expression for "liquor" found mostly
in Black English. The band took their name from the appearance of
the phrase in a blues song by Mississippi John Hurt.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to say, but there are sexual senses
of "jazz" and related words, some of which predate the sense referring
to a style of music. The sense _jazz_ 'semen' is exceedingly rare. But
_jasm_ and _jism_ were both used with reasonable frequency in the
nineteenth century.

Or indeed, based on another (earlier) band's name, a "spoonful".
That's a bit imprecise, though.

Nope, from "Coffee Blues" by Mississippi John Hurt. He keeps using the
phrase in contexts that make it clear he was talking about sex, not booze.
Rev. Gary Davis also wrote a piece with the title "Lovin' Spoonful"; the
phrase never actually is sung, but played out instrumentally on the
guitar. Again, context makes it clear that the reference is sexual.

Peace.

The name came from the practice of mixing (foul tasting) medicine with honey
and serving it on a spoon (the "loving spoonful") to children according to
the lead singer, John Sebastian.

She would NEVER manage to get 500 ml in her stomach if she took 10 minutes on
each man.

Actually, it was one cc OVER. According to the liner notes on the back of the 100cc
greatest hits comp, 10cc label owner Jonathan King says of the band's name...

Actually, I heard this one in a interview with Rod Stewart...seems Rod was a victim of this too.
The interview went something like this...

MAGAZINE: "You know, there's something I've always wanted to ask you..."

ROD: "Lemmie guess. I was performing one night, I passed out, and they pumped a gallon of cum
out of me stomach."

MAGAZINE: "Well, is it true?"

ROD: "Good God! Of course it's not true!"

Yup.

<< 10 CC wasn't the only band allegedly named for the average-sized

Is this back to the 1.5 gallons found a girl's stomach? Lets do some
math. The "spoonful" is a tablespoon and according to my gourmet
chef father, there are about 3 tablespoons in 1/4 cup. Using this figure
as a basis, the 1.5 gallons comes out to over 200 "sessions". (Count
the puns.) Use whatever time span per session and multiple by 200.
10 minutes = 6 per hour = 33 1/3 hours, not taking time out for meals.
5 minutes = 16+ hours. There are very few things that I can do for
16 hours straight without passing out, but one of them is digesting.
To maintain a level of 1.5 gallons in a stomach long enough for illness
to set in and be rushed to a stomach pump would require significantly
more than 1.5 gallons to start with. Perhaps, she met up with the
polo team instead of the football team....

I am afraid it is an UL as well. MacLeod in his "Fertility and
Infertility" (1951) has a statistic based on 1,000 cases, giving an
average of 3.4 millilitres, with limits of 0.2 to 6.6 and a span of
1.26.

Then there's Hotchkiss, R. S., "Etiology and Diagnosis in the
Treatment of Infertility in Men", Springfield 1952, p. 31; I only have
the French translation, which follows verbatim:

"Apres continence de 3 jours au moins. Tres variable chez le meme
individu. Diminue lors des coits repetes; peut atteindre 13 ml apres
une tres longue periode de continence. Il semble important que le
volume ejacule' soit normal pour qu'il puisse tamponner l'acidite' des
secretions vaginales; un volume excessif n'est pas favorable a la
fertilite': les spermatozoides sont trop dilues [...]"

My translation is:

"...after at least three days' continence. Very variable in the same
individual. It diminishes in case of repeated intercourse; may attain
13 ml after a very long period of abstinence. It seems important that
the ejaculate volume is normal, so that it can buffer the pH of
vaginal secretions; an excessive volume is not favourable to
fertility, because spermatozoa are too diluted [...]"

So we can assume that 3.4 ml is average, while higher volumes may be
obtained through a prolonged abstinence (mmm, there was a line to that
effect in a Woody Allen's film, I think).

It's a girl in this story? When I was in high school it was Liberace;
when I was in college it was Andy Warhol. About 15 years ago I heard the
story again and it was Rod Stewart.

If you please, how do mls relate to ccs?
Also, how about Lovin' Spoonful---was that meant to be an approximate
measurement along the same lines?

Who says it's a tablespoon? According to "Man's Body, an Owner's Manual"
by the Diagram Group (Paddington, 1976), "a man ejaculates an average
about 3.5 millilitres of semen - a small *teaspoonful*, but the amount
varies greatly, even for a given person. ... the normal variation is from
0.2 to 6.6 ml."

For practical purposes, 1 ml = 1 cc (cubic centimeter). I seem to
recall that there's some minor technical difference in definition or proper
use, but damned if I remember what it is.

Yeah, I've heard that one too. Three and a half ml is in the right
ballpark for a teaspoon. 'Course, that says nothing about whether the name
was an intentional reference.

I can't help it. It must be said. The reverse side of this story is
that of the poor Russian who, without a mate and particularly
randy, spied a strange and suggestive machine for sale in an
agricultural store. It was a cow-milking machine. He bought it, took
it home, strapped the teat tightly on his penis and started the
petrol-driven machine. Soon he had an orgasm, and then a second one.
He tried to turn the machine off, but he couldn't. His penis was
becoming red and raw, as he climaxed for the third time. Eventually,
he managed to drag himself, and the machine, still pumping away to a
telephone where he desperately phoned the store and asked how he
should turn the machine off. "Oh, don't worry about", said the
lady, "It will stop automatically when the bucket is full".

\The punch line I heard was, "Just keep feedin' him and fannin' him,

Actually, it was David Bowie and Mick Jagger back stage during a
concert they were giving, and that was back in the 1970's. Poor Mick
was the sick one then...
