Why does cum sometimes taste bad?
January 20, 2008
I have been seeing a guy regularly for several months now. As part of our sexual play we enjoy sucking each others cocks to completion. This usually always leads to either a total or partial mouth full of warm cum. I have noticed that sometimes his cum tastes smooth and bland like unflavored gelatin and then other times it is mildly sweet and salty, which is very enjoyable, but there is the third taste which is bitter like an uncooked green spinach. Gratefully most of the time it is one of the first two. I asked Nick what mine tasted like and he said pretty much the same. You mentioned it might be controlled by a persons diet. Do you have any suggestions as to what food might make us taste better, or at least not so bad?
Since you asked so nicely I’ll tell you the secret to great-tasting cum: Give up food except for pineapple and mangos. At least that’s what conventional wisdom would have you believe. More specifically, you should avoid alcohol, tobacco, meat products, milk products, asparagus, and garlic while eating lots of sweet-tasting fruits.
Predictably, there’s no scientific research to back any of this up. The writings I have read by physicians are skeptical at best. Some doctors said that avoiding asparagus and garlic may avoid bad-tasting cum, but in general food won’t make a difference. As with many skeptics though, in their rush to say "not true!" they often fail to provide theories about why someone’s cum tastes great one day and lousy on another. I suppose that “natural variability of body chemistry” would be the skeptic’s explanation, but it doesn’t provide one with much hope for avoiding yucky-cum days.
My suspicion is that you are having trouble with your own cum-tasting research because you are only considering what you have eaten within 24 hours of when you cum. In fact, your semen builds up over several days. I’d be willing to bet that you need to consider what you eat 72 hours before you cum, not just 24. So why not go back to those popular suggestions and try working them into or out of your diet again. You might find that they work for you.
Here’s one more thought that you diabetics might like to hear. According to one doctor I found online, diabetics eliminate some excess sugars through their body through semen giving it a particularly sweet taste. If you’re listening to your doctor and controlling your blood sugar you probably won’t notice a difference, but isn’t it a nice side effect the rest of the time?
