I am curious if there is anything that defines the scent of cum or even the taste of it. Mine always has a scent kind of like Bleach + Chlorine. When I am horny enough try it, usually it is just salty, and makes my throat hurt 5 minutes later. Is this perhaps normal compared to you all? I have heard that different food can change the scent and taste, but I swear that has never seem to do anything for me. I have varied all different kinds of food some days, but it is pretty much all the same. There have been very RARE times that it tasted sweet, but I have no idea what caused it, or if it was just my tongue playing games with me. In any case, I cannot say I really care too much about it, as I am not really into sampling the scent or taste, but this is mainly for my own personal information. Also, another question: Does precum have the same scent or taste usually as cum? I am just wondering because I fall within the range of 20% of guys whom don't produce it (yes I have done lots of anal play and prostate rubbing without any drops, haha)
Semen is about equal parts cowper's fluid and sperm. Pre-come is just cowper's fluid, and whatever small traces of sperm might have been left in the urethra (which is why "pulling out" isn't recommended birth control). Interesting, I don't hear people talk about this acidic quality much, but I find it in my own. That sharp kind of burn. I used to say it was kind of soapy, that tang, but that's not quite it. Then I heard someone compare it to baking soda, and I went that's it!!!
Not surprisingly, Semen comes from the Seminal Vassal. Cowper's Secretion (the proper name for precum) comes from the Cowper's Gland. While they may be very similar in look, colour, taste &, to a degree, in texture, they are not quite the same thing. Also, semen is not the same thing as sperm. That would be like saying water is the same thing as fish. Sperm make up only a microscopic proportion of the seminal fluid. As for taste being affected by diet, I have heard that the most extreme of this example is from eating pineapple. However, despite the fact that I do not like the idea of eating semen I did determine to run an experiment yesterday to determine the validity of this claim once & for all & a few hours after eating a whole pineapple I masturbated by hand (as opposed to with the FleshLight, which would corrupt any flavours with the lube) and forced myself to take the ejaculate into my mouth. The result was that it tasted just as I expected it would - of semen, with absolutely no trace of a taste of pineapple, so I would, therefore, discard the whole thing about diet changing the taste as an Urban Myth.
Mine smells like bleach, but my ex girlfriend of late said it doesn't taste like anything. I heard it has something to do with your diet as well.
I have to disagree on the negative views about eating certain foods changes the taste. You can't really expect eating pineapple once to change the way it tastes, especially not in the same day. Other things come into play, what were you eating before that? the day before? Do you smoke? Drink alcohol? I recall a time with a previous girlfriend, where i would regularly drink quite a number of fresh citric acid drinks in the mornings and evenings. Along with a healthy diet and it has changed the taste a little, to the point of it actually tasting (and i quote) "okay". Which was a definite change from not wanting it at all
