Have you ever tasted semen? What's it like? If you feel comfortable putting semen in your mouth, then try it to see the fun.

Some individuals enjoy eating or swallowing a partner's cum, whereas others are uncomfortable. Similarly, some people feel embarrassed about a partner tasting their semen. That's why having open communication is essential to release the tension. Partners may also need gentle mutual encouragement for fewer worries about their body fluids, including semen. This blog post will discuss the smell and taste of semen without forgetting the source of its taste. Let's continue reading to understand better.

What’s the taste of semen?

Semen is a combination of multiple fluids. Each one has a different composition that impacts what semen can feel or taste like. Based on Anatomy, a sperm matures in the epididymis, goes through the vas deferens, and is later stored in the ampulla. The ampulla secretes ergothioneine, a mushroom antioxidant, which offers semen a meaty taste that may imitate uncooked mushrooms. It also produces fructose, a sugar for nourishing sperms. Thus, provides some sweet taste. More fluids come from the seminal vesicle that contains numerous chemicals including citric acid, potassium, phosphorus, and amino acids. Other fluids from the prostate gland, such as sodium, calcium, zinc, and potassium, also add to semen.

As described by people, the taste varies from one individual to the next. They say the mixture tastes;

  • Sweet due to the small sugar content
  • Salty or sugary due to its alkalinity
  • Metallic due to the vitamins and minerals present.

Semen is majorly water-filled; thus, a diluted smell makes many individuals unable to tell. Combining semen and vaginal fluids may change the smell and taste. Be careful to sense any fishy smell during intercourse because it could be a sign of bacterial vaginosis, which can be treated.

Describing the different tastes of semen

  • Saltiness- Semen contains electrolytes; sodium, rendering a salty taste. It’s prevalent and mostly related to semen flavors.
  • Sweetness- Both male and female ejaculates have insignificant sweetness. Perhaps it can be felt more with higher fructose and glucose concentration. However, it doesn't suggest that every cum is sweetened because people differ. Some will have a sweeter cum, maybe due to their special health conditions, whereas others may have a muskier or salty taste.
  • Bleachiness- Most individuals report the male ejaculate to be 'bleachy' when tasted or smelt.  This could be true because bleach has a high pH, 13. That means it's alkaline, similar to semen, which contains various minerals resulting in alkalinity, including magnesium, zinc, and calcium.

Diet impact on semen

Does your diet affect semen’s taste or smell? Well, it may be said by many about how different foods influence the taste, but no research concludes the same. Even some believe that pineapples and citrus fruits improve semen’s flavor. But, how true is that? Some foods with a strong odor, including cauliflower and broccoli, may change the smell and taste by making it worse. Additionally, foods are likely to alter the appearance of other bodily fluids, potentially changing semen's taste.

Semen’s taste and health

Semen's taste can change following some health conditions affecting the body. For instance, a study discovered that diabetic patients are likely to secret sugar into semen, making it sweeter. Another influence is a person's lifestyle. If you drink alcohol, your semen possibly changes its flavor. A study in 2016 discovered that smokers could alter their semen composition, lowering its quality and making it have a different taste. Medically, if you undergo vasectomy- a medical procedure that hinders sperms from accessing the urethra, meaning there are extremely limited chances of ejaculating with sperms. That means semen's viscosity decreases, hence a thinner ejaculate.  A study demonstrated that vasectomy resulted in a slightly lower pH, making semen basic. A different scenario s of a person tasting semen and having health issues possibly feeling a varied taste. The following list contains health issues affecting taste receptors:

  • Dental health issues
  • Middle ear infections
  • Respiratory infections
  • Chemicals exposure; pesticides
  • Recent mouth surgery, or face.
  • Mouth gum infections
  • Medical treatments, including radiotherapy and antibiotics
  • Spinal or head injuries

Safety in swallowing semen, and can one get pregnant?

Semen contains extremely harmless ingredients. It’s difficult to find a person reacting to its proteins, which may cause an allergic condition called seminal plasma hypersensitivity. The only concern is its nature as a bodily fluid that can transmit HIV and other STIs. That's why sexual partners should taste these diseases before one can choose to swallow them. Those at a higher risk should ensure no open wounds on the lips or mouth. Using a condom is also a precaution to avoid the spread of such infections.

Who said that swallowing semen or having oral sex can get you pregnant? When it gets to the digestive system, semen breaks down just like other foods. It's a myth and shouldn't worry you. Pregnancy only happens when semen travels into the vagina and meets a fertile egg. Nevertheless, it can happen in case a man cums during oral sex, and the ejaculate finds its way to the vagina, mostly a few moments before penetrating.

The bottom line

A lot of jokes on media surrounding sex, bodies, and its fluids. Could it be the reason most individuals feel anxious about their fluids and sex? Many people fancy oral sex, as reported by a survey showing 83.2% women and 85.4% women had practiced it, saying it’s pleasurable. Possibly, you can enjoy oral sex and not swallow semen, such as by using a condom that hinders the cum from getting into your mouth. Suppose you feel self-conscious about oral sex due to the fear of semen’s taste and flavor, try it and deny your partner an orgasm. You can manually help them ejaculate later. By doing so, he gets more pleasure and allows the uncomfortable partner to gain confidence.
