I was wondering where this was going to end up.

Processed and (ahem) “condensed” I take it…

There once was a young lad named Apple  
Whose large quanties of cum tasted of pineapple  
“If it was up to me”  
“I’d mix it with tea”  
“And get rich selling it to Snapple”

As to the general subject of foods eaten altering the flavor of human secretions -

Obviously few have actually studied the effects on semen scientifically, but there are published studies on another human secretion: [breast milk](http://jhl.sagepub.com/content/11/1/39.abstract). One can reasonably assume similar patterns would emerge.

Nursing babies seem to particularly appreciate [garlic flavored breast milk](http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/88/4/737.short).

I remember reading a study that documented that hot spice getting through breast milk was an early part of the adaptation to hot spice in Korean culture, followed by small amounts of kimchee increasingly added to rice. Fish oil apparently [does not get through](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308814611004390).

It is likely to be the complex volatiles that get through into secretions. Sugar, no.
