Woman Claims Women Drain Men Of Brain Fluid During Sex, Twitter Lets Out Huge Sigh

Some on Twitter have been hashing out an astonishing take from a woman who claimed that, in essence, semen is stored in the brain (echoing a much-memed medical inaccuracy, "pee is stored in the balls").

Twitter user @tenomnft put it somewhat more elegantly, writing, "During intercourse the woman absorbs the literal cerebral fluid and essence of the man she’s sleeping with, the fluid that contains the nutrients the man chooses to feed his brain; so don’t ever ‘it’s just sex, I’m free and liberated’ me."

The take offered Twitter users much to think about. It appears that Tenomnft was attempting to disparage women who casually sleep with men by saying women drain men of brain fluid. In a follow-up tweet, she added that fueling one's body with the nutrients of multiple different partners could create a "malfunctioning vessel of confusion and chaos."

Humanity has long understood that the brain does not produce semen (Leonardo DaVinci actually debunked the idea in the 1500s), though the myth has occasionally spread over the years.

Tenomnft's claim was quickly mocked on Twitter, with many focusing on the tweet's implication that sperm is stored in the brain (when sperm is, in fact, crafted in the balls.).

As a result of the growing discourse surrounding @Tenomnft's tweet, it has been hit with a Community notes addendum that corrects its misinformation.

The addendum reads, "People cannot absorb cerebrospinal fluid from each other. It is a highly sectioned off and filtered part of the body and kept isolated for the safety of our brain. Loss or gain would make you extremely sick." It cites the National Library of Medicine.
