Semen contains seminal fluid and sperm [1], which originate in the testicles (Testicles can be an erotic place, too! Get tips for sucking his balls). Most of semen is water [2], which you might guess from its watery texture. The rest of the contents include amino acids and protein, sugars, minerals. At least one study has found that semen contains a variety of elements: zinc, copper, calcium, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, titanium, iron and nickel [3].
These ingredients could be one reason why semen has benefits. Learn more.
The result is white, gray, or even yellow in color, and a gelatinous texture that can be sticky. When it comes to taste, which is the entire point of this article, semen can be musky or salty [4]. It can be bitter or sweet at times [5].
Pre-cum, which occurs before a man ejaculates, also has a salty taste. Precum starts in the Cowper’s glands, and its job is to prepare the urethra for the sperm [6].

What Affects the Taste of Semen
Hydration
Lack of hydration can affect bodily fluids including semen. You might be familiar with how potent and dark urine can be if you haven’t had enough water. Imagine what a lack of water can do to semen, much of which is water.
Alcohol and Drug Use – Including Cigarettes
Smoking cigarettes doesn’t just change the smell of your clothing, fingers, and your breath; it could be the reason why your man’s semen tastes a little funky. If you can, encourage your man to cut out or at least cut down unhealthy habits that might be affecting the taste of his semen.
If smell is also an issue, you might want to ask your man to shower before you engage in sexual activities. You can have sex in the shower or start with some soapy foreplay. Discover more in this post about shower sex.
Diets
Another unhealthy habit that can contribute to how cum tastes is diet. There are foods that are known to alter the smell of bodily fluids, and you might notice a certain pungency to your sweat or urine after you eat certain veggies. This can extend to semen, too.
Medication
Medication is supposed to make you healthier, but it can cause all sorts of side effects, some of which get less attention than others. Changes to the flavor of semen are one of those changes. Obviously, the label isn’t going to warn that his cum will taste differently, but be aware that anything that affects bodily fluids can similarly change the flavor of cum.
Illnesses/Conditions
There is the possibility that certain conditions could also change how semen tastes. Men with diabetes may have cum that tastes sweet. Again, this isn’t something that had been readily studied, but we wouldn’t rule out the possibility based on anecdotal evidence.
How to Make Semen Taste Better
Now that you know some of the things that affect the taste of cum, we have some tips that you can use to help your man improve the taste of his semen, which can make giving head and swallowing easier.

Note that few studies have been performed on the qualities of semen, especially taste. The following recommendations are mostly anecdotal until researchers perform tests on how to make semen taste better. However, many people report having good luck with altering the flavor of semen using these methods.
Don’t just tell him he needs to change his bad habits, especially if he’s not receptive.
This can come across as nagging and make him dig his heels in, which helps neither of you. Instead, have a conversation where you express that you want to connect through oral sex and be able to swallow for him but find it difficult. Let him know some of the factors that you think might be coming into play and allow him to suggest possible solutions.
Do encourage a healthier lifestyle by being healthier with him.
This may mean increasing your own water and fruit intake or eating less dairy and meat. It’s often easier to make these changes when you feel like you’re not alone and when you know you’re not being nagged or punished. Try cooking some healthy meals to enjoy together (you’ll learn what to avoid in a bit) as a romantic precursor to a sexy night, blowjob and all.
Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs.
This one doesn’t need much explanation. Chemicals can alter your body chemistry in unexpected ways.
Do drink lots of water.
There are a lot of guidelines about how much water we should be drinking daily. You’ve probably heard that you should be drinking 64 ounces of high-quality H2O a day, which equates to eight 8-ounce glasses. However, there is leeway, and some people need less water than others, so 4 to 6 glasses is often enough [7]. Plus, watery fruit, other beverages, and even soup can count toward your water intake.
Instead, look for signs of hydration: skin that’s elastic and clear and urine that’s faint in color and scent but not clear are signs that you are properly hydrated [8]. And you should simply drink whenever you’re thirsty. After all, it’s your body’s best symptom of dehydration.
If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and upset or burning stomach, dehydration might already have set in [9]. Be prepared by bringing a water bottle with you wherever you go on hot days or when you plan to exercise.
So pour a glass for you and your man. He’ll taste better, and you’ll both feel better. Plus, being well hydrated is good for your skin and hair!
Don’t binge on dairy, meat and highly processed foods.
People report these categories of food having a noticeable effect on the taste of semen. So while that bacon cheeseburger might taste good to your man now, it might make him taste less than pleasant later. Furthermore, highly processed food may contribute to foul-tasting cum.
Do eat lots of fruits — and some veggies.
Fruit such as cantaloupe contains a lot of water, which is good for hydration, and celery, lettuce, squash and watermelon are over 90% water [10]. Many people also report positive results when a man eats fruit such as pineapple, papaya, and oranges, You might think that this makes semen taste better because of the sugar, but some people suspect it’s more a response to the chemical and enzymatic effect that fruit has while being digested. Other foods that may help improve flavor include parsley, wheatgrass, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

While eating your vegetables means you’re taking in healthy foods to boost energy and burn calories, not all of them are your friend when it comes (pun intended) to how cum tastes. Specifically, pungent vegetables such as garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, and onions may result in semen that doesn’t exactly taste good [11]. Cabbage might also be a poor choice due to its sulfur content. Let’s not forget about asparagus, which can make semen taste unpleasant as well as making urine smell terrible and take on a green hue [12]!
Many of these things affect how a vagina tastes, too.

Don’t expect miracles.
Semen will always taste like, well, semen. And it might be out of your control, which we’ll touch on later. But even if you can learn how to make semen taste better, there’s no hiding what it is.
Do experiment.
Aside from the suggestions with food on this list, there’s one more thing to try: pills to make semen taste better. Now, there are a few products, and they’re not all highly rated. You’ll need to decide how important it is to you to make his cum taste better and how much money you’ll spend on the endeavor. But if it’s a small enough risk, you might just get lucky!
Don’t stop taking medication.
After all, a doctor prescribed it for a reason. And going cold turkey may have unwanted or even dangerous side effects.
Do talk to a doctor.
If you suspect that it’s medicine or even another condition that might be messing with your man’s jizz, it might be time to schedule a doctor’s appointment. He might be able to switch medications or to start a treatment plan for illnesses that might be affecting more than just his sex life. Unfortunately, there may not be much that you can do about medicine if it’s necessary. This brings us to our next point.
What If You Can’t change How Semen Tastes
I know you’re here to learn how to make semen taste better, but sometimes you just don’t have options to change how semen tastes from within, but you might be able to change your experience from without.
- Use a flavored condom, so you don’t have to swallow or taste the semen. Flavored condoms are just one of several types of condoms. Check out this guide to using condoms so you won’t make a mess when taking off a used condom.
- Apply flavored lube (learn more about lube here) when going down on your man, which will help mask the natural flavor of his semen. Sliquid even makes cubes with multiple sample packets, allowing you to try different flavors to find your favorite. Some flavored products even numb your throat, making it easier to go down on your partner without gagging.
- Have your man ejaculate elsewhere, such as on your face or body or even into a tissue, so you don’t have to taste the cum once it’s in your mouth. We don’t recommend letting him come in your mouth and spitting as this actually makes the flavor stick in your mouth longer.
- Take a drink of something flavored immediately after you swallow.

Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...
I want to tell you about my friend Karen.
Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.
She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.
Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.
In fact...
She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!
This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And...
She completely hid this from her husband. Thankfully...
It turns out that there is a way for any woman to orgasm. Easily. And have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation.
I shared the process with Karen.
After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...
Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.
We met up a few months later and...
She would not stop talking about it,
“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”
Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or when masturbating, this process will also work for you.
And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.
Sarah says
My husband and I are going on 10yrs.now and I still love sucking his beautiful cock, I always take advantage of him in the morning because when I reach over to touch him his cock is rock hard and 9inches long and believe me that’s alot of dick to handle and I love it when he puts it in me after I’m really wet inside.
Janis says
Good for you Sarah! Now the whole world knows.You’re a size QUEEN. Too bad you.dont love him for being him.Not the size of his member.
H says
How do you love sucking dick? I absolutely hate it. But I hate not being able to please my man. But I seriously can’t stand gagging myself and hurting my jaw. Any advice /tips?
Sean Jameson says
It’s perfectly normal to not enjoy sucking dick. NEVER feel that you “have” to enjoy it to please your man. There are plenty of other great ways to pleasure him. The Bad Girls Bible newsletter is a great place to start learning new techniques.
Bill says
Janis, you sound jealous. What has been said to indicate Sarah does not love her husband in every way possible?
Allan says
How can I increase my seminal fluid both for volume amount and to increase the force it ejaculates ?
Tina Klaeger says
I am a 19-year-old woman and I perform fellatio and throat sex frequently with my boyfriend. We have discovered that if he drinks diet soda about an hour before we have sex, both his semen and his urine will taste sweeter, sort of like maple sap. This makes it easier for me to swallow his bodily fluids without gagging or spitting up. I just stay calm and focus on the sweetness, and whether he releases his fluid in my mouth or in my throat, I do all I can to swallow every drop without any spillage or regurgitation. If I succeed, he gives me warm praise and says I am beautiful.
