Kourtney Kardashian has claimed her doctor told her to drink Travis Barker’s semen ‘four times a week’ to help with fertility, and the internet is well and truly grossed out.
The couple have been detailing their journey with IVF in the current series of The Kardashians on Hulu, as they prepare to add to their blended family.
In the latest episode, Kardashian, 43, and Barker, 46, met with Martha Soffer, an expert in an alternative medicine known as Ayurveda.

Recalling her most recent doctor’s appointment, Kardashian told Soffer about what she’d been told about her thyroid levels – and some slightly unexpected advice off the back of it.
“I can’t remember what he said, if it was low or high,” she said.
“But he told us, well, he told me, that the thing that would help it was drinking [Travis’] cum, like, four times a week.”

As Soffer chuckled slightly, Barker joked: “I love this doctor.”
The couple implied that they never ended up following up on the instruction, having instead visited Soffer’s Surya Spa for a cleanse, which involved abstaining from exercise, caffeine and sex.
In a confessional, Kardashian - who recently got married to Barker - continued: "Our last egg retrieval was not successful.
"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."

She said she felt ‘super grateful’ that Barker was doing it with her, adding: "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 idea proved too much to bear for some viewers, with many jumping onto Twitter to express their shock - with some saying they 'almost threw up'.
One wrote: "I literally GASPED when Kourtney says her Dr advised her to drink Travis’ cum [...] Thursdays are officially meant to be weirded out by the Kardashians now."
Someone else said: "Lmao I’m watching The Kardashians and Kourtney said her doctor told her to drink Travis’ cum for her thyroid???????? Girlie what."

A third commented: "Kourtney said on the most recent episode of the show that she’s gonna drink Travis’s cum and I almost threw up."
A fourth added: "NOT KOURTNEY ADMITTING TO SWALLOWING CUM 4 TIMES A WEEK FOR HER THYROID?????? THIS SHOW IS CRAZY."
In fairness, she didn't actually admit she did it in the end, if that helps.
Watch The Kardashians on Hulu now... If you've got a strong stomach, of course.
