- Females describe semen:
"Ajax cleaner"
"maybe salty"
"smells like Ajax, I no longer buy Ajax because of it. Instead I buy Mr. Clean, it's perfumed."
"thick Clorox"
"rancid Elmer's glue"
"tastes and smells like Brie cheese"
"It tastes like itself (it's kind of like asking what pepper tastes like)."
"Indescribable."
"It tasted like a thick, globby beer."
"I've discovered that although there is a general almond taste to all men -- different men taste a little differently AND depending on how much a man drinks, smokes, and what he's eating -- the semen ranges in bitterness. The less healthy he is the worst his semen tastes. Almost like Clorox at times."
"It tasted quite salty."
"I cannot compare the taste to anything else I have tasted because its flavor is unique. I can compare its taste to the smell of Clorox bleach. Semen tastes like bleach smells!"
"It has different tastes for different people ranging from rotten eggs and dirty socks to a slimy/salty taste."
"Semen had a taste of its own...Sometimes it's more spicy than other times; sometimes it's sweeter. Sometimes it gives me the sensation that I just chewed on a balloon."
"Salty. It's a lot like swallowing snot."
"Kind of like salty soft snot."
"Blah! BITTER taste!"
"In my experience, the taste of semen seems to vary (at times dramatically) from guy to guy. Some men, bless them, have semen with very little taste whatsoever. Or maybe they just drink a lot of water and it keeps the concentration of salt and minerals and what have you down. The taste I generally expect is salty, but not a pleasant-eating-soft-pretzels-can-I-have-a-dab-of-mustard-with-that salty. Much more of an acidic, at times bitter metallic taste. At its worst, the taste of semen can surprise you like a mouthful of saltwater. One final note: Evidently garlic is a common culprit in distasteful experiences."
- Males describe semen:
"Salty glue, especially if dehydrated. Not-so-salty otherwise, actually more watery. Like paper-mache...flour, glue and old newspapers."
"Smells like Bradford Pear blossoms."
"I don't know, but I've heard that semen tastes like whatever the ejaculator ate twelve hours before."
"Like you'd think dish washing detergent would taste, but doesn't. Kind of soapy."
"Salty with a hint of chlorine."
"Tastes like the ink of an octopus."
"It tastes like almonds."
"The taste was not easy to identify, it was sort of mixed with another fluid."
"Sort of a non-descript taste leaning towards the salty side of the spectrum."
"Not much of a flavor. Kind of salty."
"What does saliva taste like?"
"Alfalfa sprouts."
"Caviar."
"It has a surprising non-taste. It looks like snot but is not as salty. I was reminded of the time I woke up with a bloody nose and the blood had drained down my throat."
