> [@kayT](#): > > I am curious about all of you who have never had coffee. Did no one in your house drink coffee? Because I had my first coffee at about age 4, a sip of dad’s with sugar and a sip of mom’s with cream, no sugar. (I now drink mine black except if it’s after dinner, then I put in cream.) You were never anxious to taste it as a kid? When I was a kid (say 7yo) working on my grandfathers projects, I learned to drink coffee. It’s fine, though I’d rather have tea. My Wife loves the smell, but I doubt she has had more than an ounce or two. I think it’s very much like folks that can’t tolerate cilantro, or, like myself, can’t eat any type of seafood. ---

Cilantro aversion is a genetically mediated flavor aversion. As is smelling asparagus pee (I cannot comment if the taste is also affected…) Disliking coffee is, as far as we know, mere taste. ---

> [@x-ray\_vision](#): > > ^ She. If she were a he it would be more astounding (having never orgasmed during sex). I think most people get past it, but lack of male orgasm is usually due to a history of death grip while solo. I’m more interested in the tax thing. Presumably not due to avoidance, or else it wouldn’t be posted on a public forum! ---
