How Do I Taste?

You Are What They Swallow: Let’s Talk Taste & Sexual Health

Everything you consume affects your body—and yes, that includes how you taste. Nutrients are absorbed and toxins are released through sweat, urine, bowel movements, semen, and vaginal fluid. So let’s keep it real: if your diet is trash, your bodily fluids probably are too.

Men, Be Considerate. Especially if You Expect Someone to Swallow.

Do you know what you taste like? Eating pineapple won’t make your semen taste like a tropical fruit smoothie. But maintaining a well-balanced diet can absolutely reduce acidity and improve the overall flavor of your reproductive fluids. On the flip side, a diet heavy in fried food, alcohol, and processed junk; leads to bitter, sour, or downright stinky tasting fluids.

And you expect someone to willingly put that in their mouth? Chiiii!

Let’s Ask the Real Question: Do Men Taste Themselves?

Women often know how we taste. It’s part of staying in tune with our bodies. We might check our pH by simply inserting a finger and tasting—not for pleasure, but for health. But when it comes to men… do y’all ever taste your own semen? After masturbating, have you ever considered what your partner might be swallowing? If you’ve ejaculated on someone, have you ever licked it off?

If more men knew how their fluids actually tasted, they might be more motivated to clean up their diets and drink more water. Thick, pungent, acidic semen isn’t exactly a delicacy.

Would Men Keep Eating Pussy if It Tasted Like That?

Be honest, if vaginal fluid were consistently acidic or foul, many men would probably tap out. So it’s fair to wonder: if your partner’s swallowing, shouldn't the flavor be something they can tolerate, if not enjoy?

The truth is, the best lovers are the ones who enjoy giving pleasure. That applies to oral sex, too. So if your taste is holding your partner back, why not change it?

Simple Diet Changes for Better-Tasting Semen (and Vaginal Fluid!):

If a partner has ever commented on the taste—or if you just want to improve your flavor, do the following:

• Drink more water: Aim for half your body weight in ounces each day.

• Cut back on alcohol and smoking: These increase toxins and affect taste.

• Reduce fried and processed foods: They contribute to sourness and bitterness.

• Add more fruits and vegetables: According to MyPlate.gov, half of every plate should include them.

  
  

Give your body 30 days to adjust. You might notice improvements not just in taste, but in how you feel overall.

And ladies, this goes for you too. Vaginal fluid is also affected by what we eat and drink. If we expect our partners to go down on us with enthusiasm, the least we can do is offer them something pleasant to experience.

At the end of the day, If you expect someone to swallow, make it worth their calories!
