Do females get nutrients from male sperm?
No, sperm are small packets of genetic material designed to fertilize an oocyte in the female reproductive tract. In fact, the sperm have just enough resources to get to the oocyte - the oocyte must supply much of the energy and resources necessary to complete fertilization. However, if a female were to ingest sperm, the female's digestive tract would break the sperm down into component amino acids which would provide minimal nutrients to the female.
