"[In the middle ages] the physical origin of sperm, in men and in women, was also debated. The brain, the head in general, the body as a whole and the reproductive organs more specifically all had their supporters. The medieval mind liked to work by analogy, and the whiteness of the brain was likened to the whiteness of semen, the spinal cord providing a physiological link between these two substances. Both semen and breast milk were believed to derive from blood, undergoing a series of purifications during which they lost their colour. Men, needless to say, were thought to purify their blood more completely, thanks to their hotter nature. Emission of both menstrual blood and semen were thought to remove impurities from the body. The retention of these products could poison the system, and sexual activity, including masturbation, was sometimes recommended by doctors as a cure for various ailments. Churchmen were left to debate whether in such circumstances sexual activity constituted a sin, or was necessary for the health of the body"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etoro_people >They are well known among anthropologists because of ritual homosexual acts practised between the young boys and men of the tribe. The Etoro believe that young boys must ingest the semen of their elders daily from the age of 7 until they turn 17 to achieve adult male status and to properly mature and grow strong.
>The Etoro believe that they each contain a certain amount of life force, the highest concentrations of which are contained in semen. This life force passes to others through sexual relations. Women are seen to waste the life force if they do not get pregnant after sexual intercourse. As people get older, and their bodies weaken, this is attributed to a depletion of their life force.

This must come from some Greek/Latin memester since it's something Muslims also believed at the time. > The retention of these products could poison the system, and sexual activity, including masturbation, was sometimes recommended by doctors as a cure for various ailments This vene though it's explanation is wrong, isn't actually false.

Paracelsus thought that if you put human semen in a jar, then put the jar in a pile of manure (consistent warm temperature) and fed it human blood regularly, it'd grow into a magical miniature human called a homunculous.
