Years ago, a friend told us that he thought ass tasted like “a dirty penny.” I thought this was pretty accurate. ---

I think what you’ve eaten prior to the vaj also makes a difference (like OJ and toothpaste). ---

There is often a small amount of urine when you first go down, but that is just the price you pay for admission. When she is thrusting and moaning into your face, it is all worth it. ---

With my girlfriend (now my ex as of yesterday) it was her natural “lubricant” that had all of the battery taste to it. Any area not coated didn’t have that taste. And with her, it didn’t appear to be the result of any urine contamination. I have done so with her fresh out of the shower without her having urinated for some time, and taste was still there with her wetness. ---

The battery indicator taste is so you can tell when the ‘spark’ is gone in a relationship. I thought everyone knew that. ---

As a lesbian, I truly **have never experienced nor heard vaginas tasting like licking a battery**. Phenomenal, incredible, delightful…wait, that’s not really relating a “taste”… 🙂 A few foods I have tasted that give hints of a healthy vagina (not a complete list): - Sun-ripened tomato - Fresh fig - Ripe persimmons - Certain types of brandy, cognac, and port wines…the middle and the lingering finish Of course, I have unfortunately experienced “bad” vagina taste :(, including sour overwhelming yeast (unnoticed and untreated infection) and tobacco-like taste from a cigarette smoker. Yes, it not only stinks up the house, car, clothes, and hair, it exudes from every pore and gland. I began dating her when she was not smoking, and noticed the taste change when she started again. My partner (who’s vagina tastes absolutely incredible, I might add,) and I have just come up with an important connection – both of us have had hysterectomies, and neither of us taste like batteries or metallic, so perhaps those tastes are related to having a uterus (that holds the blood lining, for those less familiar with female anatomy). ---

Perhaps it’s a different-amongst-individuals thing. You know how some people can’t smell the after effect of asparagusic acid in their urine after they eat asparagus? Maybe only those of us lucky enough to have battery-juice partners and battery sensitive tongues get to taste it. ---

If she tastes like metal it is menstral blood. Blood tastes like metal because of the iron content.
