A friend of mine were discussing the topic today, and i couldn't help but wonder how BL'ers would respond. Suppose someone is vegan, would they ethically be able to perform oral sex? A quick google searched showed that some were offended at the mere notion of putting meat in their mouth. How about swallowing semen? Given that it is technically an animal product, would this be an ethical act for a vegan, or would this be a violation of the idea?

I apologize if this topic seems absurd, but I would appreciate any serious answers that the community could provide
 
The animal in question would not be dead or caused any pain or suffering by this act, so I would say its a green light on the head/bj front for vegans.

Ask Vegan;)
 
My partner is a vegan. He has never swallowed semen but my juices don't violate his ethical standards (I asked).

I do have a gay vegan friend and will ask him.

Breast milk is considered vegan, FWIW.
 
^Agreed. (with jude101)

Also I think it just really depends on the person(s) involved and if it's ethical to them or not. The same applies to many different things.
 
As a vegetarian with several vegan associates, I'd say that it would be fine. No non-human animals were killed, exploited or used in any (non-consensual) way.
 
If your partner says they cant swallow your cum because they're vegan, give them a good slap. Thats like saying they cant swallow their own saliva or pump their own blood. Its all just human fluids.

This is exactly why I get pissed off at a lot of "college" vegans. You NEED to milk cows or they hurt. That and you always provide for the calf first or the milk doesn't start going. On top of this still is the fact that cows have one child, 4 nipples and much more milk than is needed for one calf.
 
if a cow is treated humanely and produces milk, which is then pasteurized and bottled, how is that milk not "vegan" if human breast milk is vegan? is it because you're consuming the same species as you?

i have never really thought about this, but seriously... now im confused.
 
i think it was on "dirty jobs" i saw an automatic milking farm. when the cows feel they need to be milked, they walk into a turnstyle, a brush comes and gently cleans the udder and some pumps come out and milk the cow. the udder is cleaned again and the cow is let out of the pen. my point is, the cows themselves decide they want to be milked. theres no human interaction. take that hippies!
i love milk

I know, I know. Grew up in a farming area myself.

My answer though was intended to convey the possible point of view of a vegan. Not debate the semantics of veganisim:)
 
I've always found it an amazing trait of first-world country society that people actually have the ability to choose to be a vegetarian or vegan and be able to survive doing so without a great deal of difficulty. It must seem like such an absurd concept to those living in underdeveloped countries where food may come at a premium and you must eat whatever is made available to you.

I always wondered how one can put so much effort into stopping animal cruelty while doing comparatively little about human suffering in third world nations from starvation and genocide. If you care so much about this type of thing, stop spending your money on concert tickets and join relief efforts in africa or something.
 
^SRSLY.
