Load
Slang for semen, used widely in gay male sexual and kink culture.
Load is slang for semen, common in gay male sexual culture and in kink and hookup contexts. It appears in everyday sexual conversation and in frank discussions about pleasure, practices, and risk. The word also shows up in safer-sex vocabulary, where blunt community language often communicates more clearly than clinical terms. Understanding this kind of plain sexual slang helps sexual health messaging land with the people it is meant to reach, especially in spaces where formal medical language can feel distant or create a barrier to honest talk. Like most sexual slang, meaning depends heavily on tone and setting.
