A combination of sweet, tart and salty. Kind of like apple or tomato. Varies from woman to woman and within her cycle. With my lover I can tell when she is about to orgasm from the change in taste and consistency of her fluids. Very handy for teasing purposes. ---

I would say like fruit with no fruit flavor, just the acidity and muskiness. I love the taste and a really wet woman does a lot for me. In my mind it seems like the juice of a cactus, something that could be made into candy but in itself isn’t sweet. After orgasm it seems to get a little thicker and a little more sweeter, like a man’s cum without the flavor, just the thickness and stickiness ---

Those on a diet should take note. 😉 ---

In my experience, I agree with “tangy, like touching your tongue to a battery,” and “pennies.” It’s a very faint electrical-metallic taste, no doubt because of the acidity. It’s like the way about 3 or 4 volts makes your tongue taste. Higher levels of arousal and fluid production get less tangy, even when not mixed with saliva. I think the smell has a lot more variation than the taste between different women (from what I hear; I only have personal experience with my wife). But there’s definitely not a fishy taste or smell under normal circumstances. ---

I disagree with the 9 volt battery things - can’t really give you a description, but everyone I have been with the taste is relatively mild, definitely not sweet, but that’s the best I can do. Actually I see the word “tangy” in other posts and that seems pretty close. > [@Cubsfan](#): > > The fact of the matter is that when you go down, if you are doing it right, you aren’t “entering the cave” with your tongue. The “area of action” is the clit and there is little to no fluid there. Some women absolutely love having a tongue inside them. Also (slight tangent), something I learned from a porn star that was on the local rock radio station for an interview: she said to alternate between 5 seconds of licking clit and 5 seconds of touching g-spot with finger. Most of the women I have done this to have reactions like “wow, you just curled my toes that was an incredible orgasm”. ---
