On a recent episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, Kourtney Kardashian spoke about her struggles to get pregnant with now-husband Travis Barker.
The fertility doctor that they went to see offered some truly bizarre advice: he suggested that the eldest Kardashian sister drink her hubby’s semen.
Kourtney opened up during a visit to the Ayurvedic guru Martha Soffer and discussed the strange fertility advice she and the Blink-182 drummer were given.
“I can’t remember what he said, if it was low or high,” Kourtney said, thinking. “But he told us, well, he told me, that the thing that would help it was drinking [Travis’s] cum, like, four times a week.”
Barker, understandably, seemed quite taken with the advice they were given, saying, “I love this doctor.”
While they discussed the advice of the fertility doctor on the show, the couple seemed to imply that they hadn’t actually taken the man up on his advice.
“So, our new thing that we’re going to be trying is a Panchakarma cleanse, which is Ayurvedic. It’s like 3,000 years old,” Kourtney explained. She added that the cleanse is to “get all of the toxins that are deep within our tissue out of our bodies [so as to have] better-quality eggs.”
The discussion of the cleanse came up as the spouses stopped by Soffer’s Surya Spa for a week-long retreat.
“I’m super grateful that Travis is doing this with me,” Kourtney mentioned of their spa retreat. “I don’t think I could do it on my own. I just feel like it’s something we have to do together. We’re making a baby together, we have to be on the same page.”
The couple got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago, but then held a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance at an Italian castle afterward.
