| Description: | According to the Kinsey Institute, fruit (especially citrus, bananas, and papayas), spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and peppermint, among others), parsley, wheatgrass, and celery up the flavor of semen. Cigarettes, caffeine, red meat, onions, and garlic make it taste worse. Because of its slightly alkaline pH, Fosnight said healthy semen should have an "ammonia or bleach-like kind of a smell," and will taste a bit sweet (because of the fructose) and salty — like the perfect trail mix, in drinkable liquid form, straight out of the source. Foods such as parsley or celery are mainly water, and this helps to flood out toxins that usually make sperm taste bitter or salty. Other foods that have the same effect are lighter vegetables since they offer healthier sugars into your diet. Salty. Sweet. Bitter. ... That also means the taste can vary from person to person, so although semen is generally warm and salty, there will be unique differences in flavor. |
