I am afraid to let my boyfriend cum in my mouth. What does it taste like. He says it can’t be bad, so I said that he should taste it first.

I don’t know why I am even answering this, but you seem like you genuinely want to know–so without further ado (drumroll please).

It depends on what your boyfriend’s eating habits are. (Not very glamorous is it?) Most people say it is salty, but I have heard girls who say they thought it was sweet. If your boyfriend eats pretty normally (you know, he follows the FDA food pyramid [what a crock of shit that thing is]) then it probably won’t taste like much at all.

I will warn you however, tasteless or not, it still takes some getting used to.

I don’t know what it tastes like, and boy am I glad of that! I do know it burns if you get it in your eye, so don’t do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s an interesting story. Anyway, get this…  
All of you chicas, like SINsApple, who know about this, tell me this: How do I make it taste good, or at least bearable. My girlfriend flatly refuses to give me head more than once a year cuz she says that even pre-cum tastes terrible and makes her want to puke. I don’t know, I don’t think it’s me, my last girlfriend ate that shit like it was apple pie-filling. Then again, she was kindof a crack-whore. Anyway, is there anything I can do (eat lima beans, do a headstand, drink that blue stuff you put your combs in) to make it taste better? I love to get head (huge suprise right? requirements for liking to get head=being human.) but my girl will only do it on like Valentine’s day. Not even on my birthday. This is starting to make me sad. Being that I love her and will never leave her, I may be one fiendin’ for a helmet shine s.o.b.  
And that sux, so please, pretty please, with sugar on top, help me the fuck out, K?  
Send some recipes? Send some tips about Altoids and Fellatio?  
Break me off a lil somthin’ somthin’?  
Thanks.  
Noonch.

Taste someone else’s first without telling your boyfriend. Then if it tastes alright to you, tell him its okay.

normally kinda salty. can be pleasantly sweet. if he’s been drinking beer or eating stuff that’s really strongly flavored (garlic, onions, asparagus, some spices), it could be unpleasantly bitter.

it’s probably an acquired taste, but not at all unpleasant. the more difficult part is the sudden spouting & the throbbing gushing that may continue for a half minute. you have to be careful to not lose concentration at that point or things get a bit messy.

you can literally get a taste of what’s to come (ooo, i like that!) by licking some of the dear little tears that will appear as he gets more aroused. if you don’t like it at that point, say so.

oh, it’s considered rather poor taste (zing! another one) to spit instead of swallow.

Once upon a time, being a proponent of the scientific method, my girlfriend and I embarked upon a “You Are What You Eat” test, and tried to keep careful track of how different foodstuffs affected our… taste.

Her #1 preference for me: cinnamon. I loaded up on cinnamon for a few days, and she was enthusiastic as to its results.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

If she says thet you taste worse than other people (I mean, if she has something to base this on), you should stop smoking, if you do. It should be a bit caustic, but not absolutely repugnant. Be careful not to get it up into your sinuses.  
Ps–nice first post. You’ve made a great impression.

Have him stay away from salty foods, ie french fries. And asparagus…not good foods of choice when it comes(no pun intended) to this idea.

It’s really not that bad, honestly.  
Hint though\*\*\*\*have a really big glass of water by the table or where ever you happen to be, you’ll feel better after taking a big gulp of water.

And the guys I know won’t kiss a girl after you swallow, though most will tell you that “it’s soo attractive”–there’s a load of bs if I ever saw one.

Bricker, did you ever find out what the others loaded up on according to her preferences for the **other** days of the week?

## I’m surprised no one has mentioned the inevitable use of pineapple juice. Consuming this is supposed to sweeten the flavor of semen within a relatively short period of time. I can’t attest to this, having never embarked on a controlled study, but I can tell you that men’s flavors can vary widely from slightly sweet to slightly salty to downright rank. However, we’re not comparing apples to oranges here with regard to these differences. More like a sweet Navel orange compared to a tart Valencia. It’s all in the same family.

Pamela raises a good point. A controlled study is needed. I volunteer take on the onerous task of varying my diet if one of you ladies will take the easy part.

Oh, and we should have several pairs of people so the results are statistically significant. The more the better.

Some should be controls, too, who don’t really change their diet - make it a blindfolded, er, blind study.
