For some vulvas, the taste, smell and appearance ‘down there’ can cause anxiety. Often this leads to women feeling self-conscious during intimacy.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. A few simple lifestyle changes can make your fluids taste and smell better. Try adding some of these sexy lubes to your oral sex regime.
Cinnamon
Oral sex, with its mix of kissing, licking, and sucking (and perhaps penetration by fingers or a sex toy) is one of the best ways for a man to hit all of a woman’s pleasure hotspots. But, for some vulvas, the taste and smell of their vaginas can be unsavory—which can cause anxiety or even make them averse to oral intimacy.
Fortunately, there are some things people can do to improve the flavor and smell of their vulva, including avoiding foods that give off unpleasant odors or tastes and using lubricants with added flavors like Cinnamon Bun. Moreover, general hygiene, like showering and using clean underwear on a regular basis, can also help with the taste of semen, especially for women who suffer from bacterial vaginosis.
Coffee
In some cases, a guy’s cum may taste like coffee — this is due to his diet and current health. A guy with a healthy diet will usually have a pleasant, sweet or slightly salty taste to his cum.
Likewise, if a woman is very unclean (like during her period or while breastfeeding) or is on a low iron diet her cum may taste a bit more metallic. It’s also possible that a girl’s vaginal fluids will taste slightly acidic, which can sometimes be an arousal factor.
Fortunately, there are some easy ways to make oral sex more pleasurable for both partners. For example, a girl can rinse her mouth with water or another flavored drink right after she swallows her cum. She can also chew a hard candy or chew on a breath strip to reduce the unpleasant taste of her cum. Lastly, she can practice taking deep breaths while licking her clitoris.
Steak
Men often find the taste of their semen a bit off. That’s not really surprising — it’s a weird gooey substance that comes out of their crotch, after all. But there are things he can do to improve the taste of his cum and make his blowjob more pleasurable for you.
For starters, he can drink some melon juice or something else sweet. He can also eat more vegetables and green foods rich in chlorophyll, such as celery, parsley, wheat grass and spinach. These things can help his cum to taste more savory and less acidic.
He can also practice good personal hygiene to reduce body odor, which affects how his cum tastes. And he can always use a condom or dental dam to protect himself from sexually transmitted diseases. If you’re both comfortable, talk to your partner about using protection during oral sex.
Garlic
We all have a taste down there, and the flavor can change from one person to the next. It’s not something to be proud of, but it’s important to keep in mind when you get intimate with someone. Thankfully, you can minimize the taste by keeping your diet healthy and by practicing good hygiene (using wipes and showering regularly) to reduce odor down there.
You can also use a dental dam to avoid mouth to anus contact, which will decrease the taste and odor and prevent any infection or STIs. However, you should always wear a condom and/or use a sex shield whenever possible because mouth to anus or vulva contact can lead to the transmission of herpes, gonorrhea, and syphilis, among other diseases.
Celery
Celery leaves (Apium graveolens) are usually discarded, but they make a great addition to herbal tea. They contain phthalides, which can help reduce blood pressure by relaxing artery wall tissues. The plant also contains flavonoids and other antioxidants that fight free radicals to limit oxidative stress.
The phytoestrogens in celery can balance hormone levels, helping to alleviate menopausal symptoms in women. Similarly, the furanocoumarins in celery can help with vitiligo, a condition that causes white patches on the skin.
Whether or not to try oral sex is a personal choice. It’s important to talk to your partner about protection before you try it. Using a condom or lubricant can help to prevent herpes, gonorrhoea and syphilis. Also, avoiding mouth-to-mouth contact will reduce the risk of transmitting bacteria and viruses like HIV, herpes B and herpes C. Talking to your sexual partners about protecting themselves from STIs can feel awkward, but it’s essential for a healthy relationship.
Parsley
Typically, sperm has a slightly sweet taste. The taste of a man’s semen is also influenced by the food and drink he consumes.
Consuming a lot of foods and drinks that contain high levels of salt may cause sperm to have a sharp, salty taste. Additionally, drinking a lot of coffee or other types of caffeinated beverages can also have a bitter taste.
If a man wants his semen to have a sweeter taste, he should drink cranberry juice or other foods that are low in sugar. Parsley is another good food to eat for a sweeter semen taste. It is a great source of potassium, folate, vitamin A, and vitamins K and C. Moreover, it is a low-calorie herb that can be added to savory recipes (38).
Chervil is also a good substitute for parsley, as it looks and tastes similar to flat leaf parsley. It is also a good source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, magnesium, and selenium. It has been shown to have antibacterial properties when used as an extract in test-tube studies (39).
