Just to clarify, its been around one thousand years, not thousands. And I just don't know if your idea would work to instantly tip the balance. Assuming the Mamono Lord even could directly absorb that gathered energy like that rather than using the rest of monster kind as intermediates (part of monster monogamy is that absorbing the energy of men other than her husband becomes a disgusting experience). One city doesn't seem like much either when she is trying to change the balance of the whole world.

Oh, and more specifically, semen is the body fluid that contains the highest concentration of human mana in a man. However the fluid is not in and of itself condensed mana. Its why the Japanese and English terminology distinguishes monsters that can feed directly on semen (like slimes) from those that merely absorb energy from semen (i.e. something all monsters can do).

Just what condensed human mana looks like seems to vary, and is overall not all that clear since all the depictions of it I can think of have been possibly mixed with monster mana. The pale and pink energy spilling out of the dullahan's neck may be pure human mana, whereas mana spilling out of a man bitten by a mershark is described as red due to the effect's of the mershark's own mana.
