Most people enjoy oral, whether giving or receiving. However, many of these people have some aversion to semen because of the taste, which can be the cause of an incredible experience not fully enjoyed.

WHAT FLAVOR DOES SPERM TASTE?

Semen, also known as sperm, is a viscous and whitish liquid that is composed of different secretions, produced in the structures of the male genital apparatus, which are mixed at the time of ejaculation. This liquid's main function is to transport sperm from the man's testicles.

Semen is composed of citric acid, fructose, enzymes, free amino acids, prostaglandin, zinc and potassium. Urologists point out that it is very difficult for men to change the taste of semen, however, it is believed that the taste of semen can be different depending on your diet.

These are some of the foods that can influence the taste of semen:

Sour Semen: Red meats, cabbage, spinach, asparagus and vitamin complexes.
Bitter Semen: Use of tobacco, alcohol or cannabis.
Light Semen: (almost tasteless): fresh vegetables, celery or green salads.
Sweet Semen: Rice, ice cream, sugary drinks, potatoes, among others.

DOES INGERING SEMEN HAVE BENEFITS?

It may be counterintuitive or you may not like it, but ingesting semen during sex can have some health benefits. Several studies have found evidence that semen can improve mood, for example.

Some experts and researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, discovered in semen a protein that acts in the brain and has the ability to cause ovulation in women. They also discovered other characteristics that semen ingestion causes, for example, improvement in damaged hair strands.

With all this information, it is also part of our obligation to warn you of the dangers of ingesting semen. As exciting and exciting as it is to swallow your partner's semen during sex, it is possible to contract one or more STD's (sexually transmitted diseases) such as HPV, chlamydia, hepatitis, herpes, gonorrhea, HIV, among others.

In an ideal scenario, before giving oral sex to either partner, both should get tested and confirm that they are free of any STDs. If you need help or information, please contact us and we can provide the contact details of our partners with free testing.
