Does Sperm Have Different Tastes and Smells?

Okay so before someone is quick to judge me, I never experienced this before.. let alone get to second base with a guy. I was TOLD this by some friends of mine. Does sperm have an actual taste at all? Does it smell bad or good?

  • Usually there is a base of warm salty snottiness that is not like delicious, but pretty innocuous, kind of like when you sniffle and get some post-nasal drip in the back of your throat, kind of just a non-flavor. Then there's a little of the man's personal blend that is controlled by his hormones and general health and food intake, and may be a touch bitter but not horribly offensive or anything. Occasionally has this touch of bleach smell like an over chlorinated pool, but not offensive, just surprising.

    Better flavor and smell can come from:
    Being well hydrated - especially with jasmine, oolong or green tea, and cranberry juice is also good, and good for urinary tract health and preventing kidney stones in men
    Eating a lot of fresh fruit, especially Pineapple for some reason
    Coffee if you like that flavor - it's often really obvious
    Cereal grains may add a "wheaty" smell and slight flavor

    Yucky, Icky Yucky
    Diet heavy in onions
    Caraway seeds and asparagus
    Heavy smoker or tobacco user - like taking a swig from the cigarette butt can outside the prison guard's break room.
    Smoking speed, meth or crack - tastes like someone sprayed bug spray, 3-in-1 Mystery Oil, Coal Tar and Fabuloso floor cleaner right in your mouth
    Heavy red meat eating - an issue for some women, but not bothersome to me, kind of bitter
    Some medicines and vitamins - if the taste is really nasty but he really needs the meds, remove your mouth right before ejaculation, he'll still really enjoy the Beej.
    Flavored lube - is like having the guy at the car wash spritz some air freshener in your mouth.
    Swampy crotch/ass and ball stank, ew, no thanks. Please have a shower. I do the same if my little flower smells funky after a long day without airing out.

    All of those things also seem to affect the taste, texture and smell of vaginal secretions as well.

    • Haha do you speak of all of these from experience? 😂

  • the taste is surely different, just Google it and you find thousands of descriptions how it tastes to someone haha but not everyone tastes bad

  • Yes. It has largely to do with a mans diet and smoking habits. The healthier he is the "better" (?) it tastes.

  • Technically the male ejaculate is called semen, which contains water, sperm and some minerals/proteins.
    Semen, does taste different from guy to guy and can be influenced by diet.
    Some semen is watery and some is thicker.
    Taste varies according to the taster, not everyone has the same taste buds.
    Mostly it is said to be salty. some can be sweet or sour.
    According to many girls that have discussed this with me.

  • It doesn't have a smell. The taste, however, is almost always salty, given that the guy has a normal diet. The only time it isn't salty is when a guy eats exclusively fruit for like a whole week, in order to intentionally make his cum taste better.

    That's not a healthy diet, by the way.

  • there no smell to sperm only sweaty balls and it can neither taste sweet or salty depending on the guys diet.

  • Oh yeah. It's like salty pudding it's gross at best, but certain things can affect taste. Smoking for instance will make it more bitter, and pineapple juice will make it sweeter.

  • from what my ex's have told me it depends on what you eat exercise etc

  • Semen is a bit salty and there is a kind of chlorine smell. Never had a guy who's sperm had a bad taste but I don't it find good neither.

  • If a guy eats a ton of fruits, citrus fruits, his semen tastes fruity.
    That's what I've heard anyway.

  • Sperms are cell they are tasteless, seman is what contains male pheromones and other nutritional stuff.
    The smell is of males pheromones, and the taste of the nutritional supplements inside semen,

  • I hear it taste weird and smells depends on what the guy eats.

  • It varies from guy to guy and depends a lot on his diet. My ex tasted like warm salt water while my current boyfriend has no taste

  • Yes sperm can have many different tastes. If the guy is healthy it tastes pretty good. I taste sweet and kinda fruity. It's smells like cookie dough.
