Why does semen smell like clorox??!
Question: Well, the average ejaculate consists mostly of protein, citric acid, fructose, sodium, chloride and smaller amounts of ammonia, ascorbic acid, acid phosphates, calcium, carbon dioxide, cholesterol, prostaglandins, creatine, and other minerals and chemicals which are produced by the prostate gland, cowpers gland, testicles and many other parts of your body. Hmm...did I say "chloride?" That'll probably explain the familiar Clorox odor. But in reality, in generating its secretions your body can only use its stocks and what you eat as its raw material. One only has to consume a Vitamin C rich drink to observe its effects on your urine. So, if you are a considerate lover, here are Man Blog's tips to make it a more "palatable" experience (though I wouldn't dare ask the blog writers how they verified this):
- Juices from any fruit with high sugar content, such as kiwi, pineapple, cherry, grapes, and mangoes, are said to make semen taste lighter. Citrus fruits (cranberries, lemons, blueberries and plums) produce a pleasant, sugary flavor. In addition, parsley, celery, wheat grass, and leafy veggies have been suggested to contribute to a honey-like tasting man-naise, presumably due to the high chlorophyll content in them.
- Beer, coffee and nicotine are believed to have something of an opposite effect, and could leave your girlfriend with a bitter after-taste.
- Alkaline-based foods like meat and fish produce a buttery taste.
Any vegetables from the cabbage family are big offenders
