> [@](#): > > Xerxes: I’m just impressed that you can manage three pints of Scrumpy at all. Oog. Well, it doesn’t happen often (fortunately). Also note that Scrumpy Jack is not the same thing as the more generic scrumpy, which seems to be a term used for Very Strong cloudy (sometimes) cider, produced in the West Country (from where it doesn’t normally migrate). I’ve tried some of those and Geez, one pint would be more than enough. Scrumpy Jack is a commercially produced cider available widely round where we are. It’s between 5/6%, IIRC. Not weak, granted, but not in the same league as the big boys, some of whom can run to 11%. ---

First let me share a joke I got in an e-mail: \*In a biology class, the professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen. A female freshman raised her hand and asked, “If I understand, you’re saying there is a lot of glucose, as in sugar, in semen?” “That’s correct,” responded the professor, going on to add statistical info. Raising her hand again, the girl asked, “Then why doesn’t it taste sweet?” After a stunned silence, the class burst out laughing, the poor girl’s face turned bright red, and as she realized exactly what she had inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without a word and walked out of class, never to return. However, as she was going out the door, the Prof’s reply was classic. Totally straight-faced he answered her question. "It doesn’t taste sweet because the taste buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and not the back of your throat.\* I remember reading somewhere that the taste buds for different tastes reside in different places on the tongue. Perhaps the lady’s problem is in the way she is ‘collecting the specimen’ so to speak, and your friend needs to be a little more ‘up front’ in his delivery. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Xerxes \* > > I have a friend who some years ago (over a few beers) mused that his ideal girl would be able to lactate beer.\*\* In the movie [_10 Things I Hate About You_](http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0147800), Heath Ledger wonders if Julia Stiles has “beer-flavored nipples”. That’s all I have to share. Oh yeah, and I eat a lot of citrus every day. 😉 ---

Let me rephrase: _Certain levels_ of garlic in one’s diet can be detected. YMMV! ---

hey Dragon Ash here’s some dope for you! The diet of the male will in fact change the taste of his Semen (and the rest of your bodily fluids, but that’s another matter.) I can’t say that it will be downright yummy nomatter what he eats, but it can definatly be improved upon. For Example - One of my co-workers is a nympo. She bought a product off of the internet called “Semen-x” which claimed to be able to “sweeten” the flavor of Semen. Her Boyfriend had to take it eight hours prior to, um…commencement of exercises, but she told me that it worked. It didn’t make it taste like Candy, but it did make it significantly more enjoyable. ---

For those of you who are getting sick of citrus fruits, a wedge or two of fresh pineapple will have a similar effect - delightful for those of us who partake. Asparagus, however, keeps me strictly above the belt. And just wondering - if you smack your dick against a hard surface, does it break apart into lots of little penises? That visual will keep me wondering for days… ---

I’ve never really noticed a huge taste difference in semen because of diet, but I can tell you that there is a significant difference in the before and after when a man’s had a vasectomy and after is much better. ---

I noticed when I go down on me womens after they had dairy products and such it’sa a horrible as all hell kinda taste. Now if she’s a eating lotsa fruit and things of the sort it’s all good. ---
