Why do I taste like that?

When I was in college I had a floor mate who was always drinking gallons of apple juice from his micro fridge. Finally one day I asked him why he was drinking apple juice like it was going out of style. He said, “Shan, some girl told me that my ejaculate tasted like apple juice, I am always going to drink this stuff!” I didn’t quite understand him at the time, but he was on the right track and his partners thanked him for it.

If you do not enjoy the taste of your partner’s semen, you have a few options. One, ask your partner to tell you before they ejaculate and use your hand to completion. Or keep a cup next to the bed to spit into if you cannot swallow. You can also invest in some flavored lube to rub on the penis so you taste cherry or wild berry. O’my has a wonderful selection of flavored lubes without sugar. Unlike other lubes that contain sugar to make the flavoring, O’my promotes vaginal health with less of a chance of developing a yeast infection. Therefore, lubes without sugar are a better choice because you can also use them for penetration.

Another suggestion is to look at your partner’s diet. Everything we eat gets processed in our body, therefore our sexual fluids are also products of what we eat. Many times both female and male sexual secretions will taste bitter if the person consumes coffee, alcohol, red meat, garlic, onions, vegetables like broccoli and asparagus and if the person smokes cigarettes. In order to make the secretions taste sweeter, choose fruits like oranges and apples. If your doctor agrees, take zinc or selenium supplements….and drink lots of apple juice!
