Can't get used to the taste of cum

A bit of a crude and embarrassing question but I wanted to ask it nonetheless.

When I'm giving my boyfriend oral I generally swallow; it's really stimulating for my boyfriend to see and I find the idea of it very stimulating.

But when I have to start physically swallowing it just tastes horrible :s-smilie: I swallow quickly in hopes I don't have to embarrass myself or make him feel bad by gagging in front of him. I've done it about six times and apparently you can get used to it, but... is that true? Will I eventually get used to it?

well if you dont like it, you don't like it...but some things to do would be to use some flavoured lube so that it masks the taste or get him to change his diet apparently eating more sweet things and healthy eating improves it. if you really don't like it you shouldnt do it but like i said having a mint before hand or using some flavoured lube should help improve the taste and make it a bit more fun.
You swallow the ejaculation??? Is that healthy???

Apparently it is actually... haha


OP, I HATED it at the start, like literally felt sick for the whole evening after and stuff, was really odd, like genuinely repulsed by the taste! But I've definitely got used to it. I don't actually like the taste so I doubt you'll suddenly one day find it really pleasant, but I don't actually mind it anymore and don't feel ill after or gag or anything... so I reckon you will get used to it!

After about 12 times if you still haven't then either only swallow every now and then and usually finish by having sex or by hand, or just put up with it!
What does semen generally taste like anyway?

I'd like to know before I give my first BF, as I gag really easily!
The taste is quite variable anyway, it depends on the guy and on what he's been eating and all sorts of things besides (I have heard that diabetics have quite sweet semen, for example). I hear that eating fruit makes it taste better (I think there are meant to be certain fruits that are particularly good), and lots of meat or onions or garlic will make it worse. I think you'll get used to it though, I remember finding it horrible at first and now it doesn't bother me, but I don't know whether that's down to me getting used to it, or the fact that I now have a different boyfriend...

Also, if you intend to swallow, then if you arrange things so his willy is quite far into your mouth when he ejaculates, you'll swallow it automatically without really tasting it except a bit in the back of your mouth. Useful knowledge, that.

It is really hard to describe, it doesn't taste like anything else. People always say it's salty, but it isn't that salty, though it is a bit. I have heard it described as a bit like mushrooms, but I don't think it's that much like mushrooms either. You probably won't like it, I think it is an acquired taste at best. It is certainly strong-tasting, and quite pungent, kind of earthy and a bit salty. I guess there is a little bit of mushroominess in there too, actually.

Thanks for the replies ladies :smile:

meat or onions or garlic will make it worse.

He had a pizza with sausages and quite a significant amount of garlic and onion 3 hours prior - do you think that affected anything? I have no idea how the diet affecting cum taste thing works though.

Ah yes! That definitely explains why I was totally okay with it the fourth and fifth (yeah yeah, I'm counting...) time. Every other time it went straight onto my tongue in my mouth and the taste just lurks there for ages.

Thanks again

Really? I find it veryyy salty. I'd describe it as like egg-white maybe? It's pretty hard to describe though.
I'm kinda scared of going that far actually, my boyfriend stops me as he doesn't want me to do it if I'm not that happy to (also I think he feels that if he did and I hated it I would never give him another BJ), part of me wants to just see if I can (so I can make him happy) but sometimes the smell of it is enough to put me off ever doing it..... oh and it doesn't help that my friend said she really dislikes it and that it tastes all yeasty.... maybe I'll have a go some day....

You could always just not give him blowjobs?

What exactly does he get to see :confused: ?
^ He gets to not see her spit?

Anyways, the diet thing works over two weeks - basically you'll have to make him a vegan with no curry or garlic for it to work it's best though.
I hear bannanas makes semen taste like a sugary paste.
I hate the taste :frown: and I made the decision to swallow because I couldn't have it in my mouth any more...bad move.

It does vary quite significantly. Just to repeat what others have said, the further back in your mouth it is the more bearable it will be, and diet affects it a lot. The worst thing for taste I find is beer or garlic, and the best is pineapple juice. I would never describe cum as tasty, but it is very tolerable most of the time. Also you can train your gag reflex so that will come (excuse the pun) with practice.
I don't mind the taste, my boyfriends doesn't actually taste of anything to be honest. I hate giving BJs though.
I don't swallow, my horrible ex-bf used to hold my head down so I had to everytime, and then I would always throw up :s-smilie: But my current boy is lovely and knows I don't like the taste all that much so I just move out of the way, as immature as that sounds :o: I don't know if it's the taste that now bothers me or the connotations, not sure really but I throw up easily so it's better to be on the safe side for me.
I used to just move out of the way but I recently decided to go the full way. It wasn't quite as bad as I'd expected but I had the taste in my mouth all day, despite brushing my teeth plenty of times. He claims to like the way I taste, so it's not as if it's equal - I just wish I could find a way so that it wouldn't be so bad.

Eugh, i hate the taste too, it leaves a really weird after taste. I just deep throat so that i dont have to taste it, or i pull away when hes close and let him cum on my neck or face. Although one time he missed and got my eye... :s-smilie: Lol, that was jokes.
