How
to make yourself taste good (written by Dr. Pluhar)
Ask
Erika,
I've been getting the news letter for a couple of months now and I like it a lot
it is very informative thank you to everyone that contributes to the site. I
have a question regarding the icky taste of Semen. I like giving my
boyfriend of 3 years oral stimulation he likes to cum in my mouth. I really
don't mind but sometimes we notice he has a very strong odor and taste to his
semen than usual it is almost repulsing. he even gets grossed out by the smell.
I once read many years ago that certain foods like fruit or beer a couple hours
before sex can change the taste of the cum (even in women) to a sweeter taste
but I can't remember what they were. Also lately my vagina has been starting to
have a light scent of "fish" I wash 2-3 times daily with feminine wash
but this scent comes from the inside, usually a few hours after he ejaculates
inside of me and lasts sometimes into the next days this didn't start when he
first started ejaculating inside it happens when he has that strong smelling
thick semen. I asked my GYN Dr. about douching and he recommend me not to
do it because it increases the chances of infections. So what can we do to
change the awful smell of his semen? Help us please. Please share the
question with your colleagues someone might know of some methods. thank you,

Dear
Icked out,
Thanks for your question. I'm glad you have found the newsletter helpful
and informative. As for your question about the taste of semen, although
there is no scientific data on the subject (that I'm aware of) it may be
possible for various foods to influence the taste of body fluids, including
semen and vaginal fluids. You may want to try experimenting with a few
foods, such as not eating dairy products and certain veggies such as
cauliflower, broccoli, and asparagus to see how that affects the taste.
Foods that have lots of garlic or onion flavor may also affect the taste of
semen, as may alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee. Using a flavored
condom or having a breath mint in your mouth could also help take care of taste
problems.
In
regards to douching, your GYN is right on and good for you for asking him or her
about this. Douches contain harsh chemicals that will interfere with the
delicate balance in your vagina, particularly when you are doing it 2-3 times
per day. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ and it is natural to have a
slight musky odor (that can change with your menstrual cycle). The fishy
odor, particularly if it is out of the norm for you, might mean that you have an
infection such as bacterial vaginosis so I would recommend getting it checked
out just to be sure. Good luck and thanks again for your question.

Letter to the editor,
This isn't a question, but it is an opinion. I too have noticed
a difference in the taste of my boyfriend's semen, and find that it takes on a
bitter taste after he has had eaten pasta, or anything with Tomato sauce.
Before I dated my boyfriend, I had dated a couple of Italian guys, and
found that their semen had a bitter taste also. I had dated the Italian
guys when I was younger and thought that all semen tasted like that, but my
current boyfriend has proven this to be false. Now I always ask my
boyfriend if he has had Spaggetti recently, before I give him head ,and let him
come in my mouth. It has really helped me to avoid that "unpleasant
aftertaste". Just thought I would share this observation with you.
Thanks.
