A lot of things will alter the flavour of semen. As far as I remember, the things to avoid are meat and dairy, while fresh fruit tends to improve the taste. ---

Here we are. As [this site](http://www.askmen.com/love/dzimmer_100/117_love_answers.html) says, it’s really a matter of taste. It gives some basic guidelines about what certain foods will do to the taste: > [@](#): > > Fruits like kiwi, watermelon, celery, and pineapple are all said to make semen taste lighter. Beer and coffee are believed to have something of an opposite effect, and could leave her with a bitter taste in the mouth. Alkaline-based foods like meat and fish produce a buttery taste, while acidic fruits (cranberries, blueberries and plums) produce a pleasant, sugary flavor. Most liqueurs will do the same, while dairy products can make for a foul taste because of their high bacterial putrefaction levels. ---

How soon after? If I drink a bunch of cranberry juice now, will my semen taste all “pleasant” and “sugary” tonight? ---

Just a WAG (and the wildest of all) but I’d say it wouldn’t work for tonight, maybe a few days of eating NOTHING but fruit. If it’s an emergency… I don’t know waht to say. ---

Pan fried semen with pinapple juice does sound better then just plain old pan fried semen. ---

I think in our lifetime, we will see the Fark headline: Scientist create pill that makes spooge taste like tropical flavors. Still no cure for cancer, and your girlfriend wants you on the pill.
