Hello Ms. Rica,
I’m 27 years old and I’m on keto diet. Gusto ko pong malaman kung may effect ba ito on the taste of my sperm.
Nagrereklamo po kasi ung girlfriend ko that she doesn’t like how I taste down there. Is there a way for me to improve the taste?
Thank you,

Hello Taste Tester,
The taste of semen is actually different for each person, as with the taste for it. Meaning, hindi pare-pareho ang lasa nito, at hindi lahat ng tao gusto ito. Scientifically, I find very little evidence that diet is related to the taste of your semen. Pero, madaming mga kwento o anedcdotal evidence, kung paano magiging mas matamis at maiwasan ang pakla nito.
Some people say that drinking or eating certain fruits could make your semen tastier or even sweeter. These fruits include papaya, pineapple, oranges, and grapes, among others. Minsan pa nga, they say that the sweeter the fruit, the better! On the other hand, they also say that there are certain vegetables, such as, brocolli, asparagus, onions, garlic, could make your semen taste bitter/mapait or acrid/mapakla. And if you want to have a tastier semen, you should stay away from these kinds of food. Aside from these food choices, some people also say na kapag naninigarilyo ka, umiinom ng madaming alak o kape, it would make your semen taste worse. So, it does seem beneficial to stay away from too much coffee, smoking, and alcohol: it won’t just make you healthier, it may also improve your taste down there! But then again, these are all anecdotal or kwento-kwento lang.
Now, what do studies say? What Science has proven again and again is that your diet can impact the health of your sperm. May mga research na nagsasabi that eating food high in sugar, dairy, red meat and processed meats could negatively affect your spermcount. Kapag naman madami kang uminom, pwede rin ito makaapekto sa sperm quality. So, it would be better to have a healthy diet as if you eat healthier, you have the potential to improve the quality and quantity (and potentially the taste) of your sperm and overall health! Yay!
To address your girlfriend’s distaste for semen, I would suggest for the both of you to explore other activities.
Pwede kasi na you don’t ejaculate inside her mouth, and rather ejaculate somewhere else so she won’t need to taste it. You could also try using flavored condoms or flavored lubricants that she might like. Other than these, I would also suggest that you look for other ways that you both would enjoy being sexually intimate with each other, and not focus too much on things na hindi niya gusto. Have fun! #takeitfromthesexymind
Love and lust,
Rica
