He explained: "I used to rub my own jizz all over my face and I would leave it on overnight, kind of like a facial mask, when I was 14 or 15.
"Because I had a lot of acne and I was desperate.
"I had read online that semen could actually cure acne so I tried it."
Attaching a Google search result, Kevin claimed sperm facials are still being talked about among skincare professional.
He also put a screenshot of an "online burn book" from his high school and said he was mocked by his peers for putting semen on face.
"I'm here to tell you that it didn't work," Kevin continued.
"The only thing that cured my acne when I was 21 or 22 was I got better at handling stress and I went on Tretinoin."
He went on to share intimate details with his ex partner who told him that the semen has "a lot of protein".
Kevin said: "I had a feeling that semen was somewhat healthy and I wanted that to be true because I care about my health.
"I was wondering if there was any additional benefits to swallowing semen aside from the potential risk of getting STDs.
The TikToker showed an online search result of the nutrients and vitamins that semen contains, such as zinc, lactic acid, magnesium and proteins.
"My ex partner used to be like 'oh it has a lot of protein, don't you want muscles and stuff?' so yeah this was my personal health journey with semen," he concluded.
With the amount of information revealed in the 68-second clip, viewers were speechless.
One commented: "Remember we had secrets?"
"My brother, we did not need to know all that," another wrote and a third added: "What happened to 'hi, hello, how are you'? You just jump straight to the point."
