If there’s one thing about blowjobs that women don’t like doing, it’s dealing with semen that tastes less-than-stellar. Though some guys seem naturally “blessed” with tasty (or more tolerable) sperm, some men’s ejaculates can taste bitter, sour, or overwhelmingly foul.

Sometimes, it may be bad luck. Other times, it could be due to a guy’s lifestyle. If you’re with a guy whose flavor is foul, it’s easy to get grossed out by the thought of giving him head. Thankfully, there’s a way to change things up.
While you can never get the salty taste to fully go away, some other flavors that are in a man’s juice can be made to vanish. These tips below are considered to be some of the more tried-and-true ways to improve a man’s taste…
Feed him pineapple.
In recent years, pineapple has become kind of a cultural allusion to improving semen taste. Why? Because it works. Scientists revealed that certain enzymes found in pineapples can improve semen taste by adding a sweeter touch.
Getting that sweet touch is actually really easy to do. Just a glass or two of pineapple juice the day of your BJ is enough to make a difference. If pineapple juice alone isn’t his style, try mixing it with seltzer or soda. It can help make it easier.
Ban stinky cheese, onions, hot peppers, and garlic from his diet prior to a BJ.
Though pineapple is the most famous sweet fruit to bolster semen flavors, most sweet fruit can add a subtle boost to a man’s taste. That being said, diet can affect semen taste both ways. Spicy, pungent, and strongly flavored food can negatively affect that flavor, too.
Our bodies metabolize foods we eat in a way that often involves aromas getting released through body fluids. If your boyfriend is a fan of spicy foods or otherwise pungent items, chances are high his diet’s to blame for a foul taste down there.
It can take a while to clear out his system from a lot of seriously foul odors. Try getting him to lay off pungent foods for two or three days before you give him head. It could make a huge difference.
Get him to drink more water.
Our bodies need water to survive. We need lots of water in order expel waste efficiently, and we also need it in order to ensure that our bodies don’t get too filled up with “junk.” If you’re dehydrated, your body fluids will show it as well.
If your partner’s taste is best described as uncomfortably strong, it could be a dehydration issue. Give him more water, and you’ll notice the flavor ease up.
Consider giving him a supplement.
Several companies have started to manufacture supplements that allegedly help improve the taste of a man’s sperm, including Sugar Cum, which went viral after Vice decided to cover it as part of their culture section. That being said, the jury is still out on whether they actually work.
Currently, the supplement industry seems to be a mixed bag. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it could work for some men, but studies on most of these pills remain inconclusive. It’s a gamble, but if you want to try it, go for it.
Get him to quit smoking.
The majority of people on dating sites claim that smoking is a major turn-off, and righfully so. It can prematurely age you, give you cancer, and yellow your teeth. What most people don’t realize is that smoking can also change the flavor of your bodily fluids for the worse.
The best way to make sure that cigarettes and other smokables don’t ruin your BJ time is to convince him to stop his love affair with nicotine. If that doesn’t work, then try switching to vaping. It might be marginally better for his flavor.
Skip that night at the bar, too.
If you haven’t gotten the hint, most anecdotal evidence suggests that tasty sperm results from a healthy diet. There’s also some scientific evidence to back it up, too. It comes as no surprise, then, that semen flavor can get impacted by both cigarettes and alcohol.
Hitting up the booze can harm semen flavor in two different ways: it makes guys dehydrated and it also has certain enzymes that make semen taste fairly bitter. If drunken hookups always tasted bad to you, you now know why. Using that information can help you avoid sour tastes later on.
Have a “Meatless Monday.”
As it turns out, turning away from meat doesn’t just help save the environment or keep food costs low. According to anecdotal evidence, eating meat and fish can cause semen to taste foul. While this is bad news for people on a Keto diet, it is great news for vegetarians. Who knew?
Oh, and if you thought dairy would leave you off the hook, think again. Most dairy products are pretty much verboten if you want a better flavor down there.
If all else fails, finish on your face.
Though swallowing is considered to be ideal, let’s just face it. Sometimes, guys just taste a little too rank for it to be a good idea. After all, throwing up isn’t exactly sexy, is it? Guys are totally fine with having a girl finish him off on his face as long as they still get their jollies off.
If the new diet and health kick don’t work after a week or so, it may be time to resort to another method: not swallowing at all. As long as your blowjob gives you both pleasure, who cares where the prize ends up?
