Why does the cum from some guys taste so much better than other guys?

I've heard some guys say eating pineapple will make it taste better. Other's have said taking cinnamon capsules will do it. Even others have said not eating sugary foods makes it taste better. Does anyone else have any ideas?

  • well they are all right and all wrong too. lol It does have to do with the foods a guy eats but The process begins in the epididymis, where sperm mature. To make semen, the sperm pass through the vas deferens and into the ampulla for storage.

    The ampulla produces ergothioneine, an antioxidant that commonly develops in mushrooms. This may give semen a slightly meaty taste similar to uncooked mushrooms. The ampulla also adds fructose, a type of sugar that helps nourish sperm and may give semen a slightly sweet taste.

    When a person ejaculates, the body adds fluids from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. Most of the fluid comes from the seminal vesicles, which add a wide variety of chemicals, including:
    amino acids
    citric acid
    phosphorous
    potassium
    The prostate gland mostly adds citric acid, but also adds:
    zinc
    calcium
    sodium
    potassium
    various enzymes
    The taste of semen varies from person to person. Most people describe the flavor as some combination of:
    bitter or salty because it is alkaline
    sweet because of the sugar content
    metallic because of the minerals and vitamins

  • If you find the taste objectionable, try using mouthwash beforehand as it can dull the taste buds. Also ask him to experiment on the making it more palatable by altering his diet. A lot of things can affect flavor and viscosity. More fruit in the diet and especially pineapple juice may help along with lots of water, which can supposedly lower the viscosity. The big offenders that reportedly give semen a musky, bitter smell and taste include: garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage, leafy greens, asparagus, meat, and dairy products. Items that may help make the flavor of semen more tolerable include: celery, parsley, wheat grass, cinnamon, nutmeg, pineapple, papaya, and oranges. Alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and other substances like drugs are thought to negatively affect the flavor. Tell him you want to experiment to see what works and what doesn't. I'm sure he would be interested in participating. Communication is critical.

  • it varies by guy and Yes, diet effects the taste a lot!

    most guys' cum is bitter and salty and runny.

    Here is what Cosmopolitan magazine said:

    "'Strong-tasting vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, garlic and caffeine may make semen taste or smell unpleasant. Whereas pineapple, oranges and other sweet fruits may make it taste sweeter. This is largely due to how the enzymes in the food break down and affect proteins, thus impacting on the smell and taste."

  • I think it depends on their diet. My ex used to smoke lots of weed daily and his cum had a very bitter taste compared to other men.

  • Diet, hydration, and the biggest factor: smoking. Smoking makes bodily fluids nasty, but not drinking enough water or eating a lot of strong or spicy foods won't help.

  • Diet and proper h2o consumption plays a big role in this.

  • It seems we've been told in the past that it has to do with diet which is likely very true.

  • It depends upon the diet and overall health of the guy.
    Semen contains fructose which is obtained from fruits so, if a guy consumes fruits every now and then, his cum will be on sweeter side. If a guy eats junk food a lot, his cum will be on bitter side. So that's why there's a difference.

    Now some girls may like the bittersweet/salty taste while (in my opinion) most would prefer the sweeter one

  • It's Def based on diet. Clean eating fruits or teas like Lemmon or orange tea could Def make big impact. If he eats high sodium shit. I'll take a wild guess his cum tastes very bitter gross
