Urban Legend or verified fact?

The rumor: Drinking pineapple juice makes your semen taste better. Truth or fiction? Anyone know for sure?

I don’t know about pineapple juice.

However, I know a woman who could tell you what you had eaten over the past 12 hours or so by the taste of your semen. She could also tell you what drugs you’d been taking too… she said that cocaine makes it taste like cotton candy.

I don’t know how she went about doing the research, actually, I’ve got an idea. I know several people who say she was usually accurate.

I do not know myself from personal experience, my wife wouldn’t approve. I don’t think she would think that scientific experimentation to check her accuracy would cut much ice with her.

Generally speaking, pineapple juice and other citrus fruits _do_ help the flavor. It’s not like it tastes like fruit punch, but it does make semen taste sweeter.

It also helps to avoid coffee.
