Is this really a thing?

So spent a night with friends and as sometimes happens we end up on a very strange tangent.

Male friend begins telling a story which included a comment about men tasting their own semen. When challenged on it we were assured it was a thing, that men get curious and there's no way that our husbands haven't done this. We've all asked and no one else has, whilst friend is adamant loads of his male friends have done so and it's perfectly normal to be inquisitive about the taste.

Is this a thing!?

IABU: it's a thing
IANBU: wtf? No, it's not a thing!

Promise I'm not a troll, just name changed. Been on here and remember howling at crying in the Sistine Chapel, Mexican house thief, cancel the cheque, penis beaker etc etc.

I've thought about trying it a few times but I like to smell things before I put them in my mouth if I've not tried them before. If I don't like the smell of it - playdoh, soil, shaving foam, cum, kimchi, whatever - it's not going in my mouth.

Ask your mate if he ever played "milky biscuit" with his mates before.

Haha loving these responses. I'm not against it, I was just a bit 🤨 at the idea that this was a 'thing' as such. I personally can't stand semen in my mouth, but don't judge any one who can. It was just the whole 'everyone has done it' that was baffling me. I can understand the curiosity element, but I've never felt the need to taste my vagina? Breast milk I have but friends and I concluded that was different because it's meant for human consumption 😂 He'll be thrilled to know that it's more common than us sheltered ones believed!

I’ve breast fed 4 children but have never tried my milk, the thought of it creeps me out, I don’t think all men do though as tmi but in my younger years a lot of guys wouldn’t kiss you after a bj so doubt it’s something all guys have tried.

Definitely a thing! Can think of one man who loved it spat into his mouth after a BJ and he'd swallow it himself.

@FelicityBeedle

Mine is denying it and I think I believe him. Personally I probably would have tasted.

He says post wank men get this awful feeling of ‘like you want to Chuck yourself off a bridge, regret and disgust at yourself’ and apparently this is a common thing among men. They’ve discussed it in the pub. So apparently that puts you off tasting it

Are you sure that's not just Catholic guilt talking 😁

Honestly seems like it exists, there’s a wiki page and everything. Maybe that’s why they go to sleep so quickly after, go avoid the existential dread Grin

I feel oddly polluted for having read this thread. In a way that I thought was no longer possible in my somewhat jaded maturity.

It's a little like when someone says "have you ever seen 2 Girls, 1 Cup" and you don't think there's anything left that can disturb you so you look it up.

@Tothemoonandbackx

I know my OH has tasted it, whether it's been after kissing me after a BJ or going down on me after we've DTD, never a complaint from either of us Grin Xx
My ex would never go down on me after sex, so I'm loving that my new bloke isn't embarrassed or worried about doing this after he's come.

Have you never tasted your own juices?

He's either lying so you don't question him about wanking or he should speak to a doctor

tasted it? I could do myself as a young man, so I guess that would be drinking it! when you're about cum, you're hot...guys will, promise anything....say JUST about anything....just to keep it going!

afterword's, it's a little harder, (a lot harder for most), to follow through. the though is a turn-on when one's about to cum..... but goes cold quicker than the semen on his hand! taste is one thing, a tinny-weeney taste..... but a lick or swallow, that is typically out the question!

now, lets be real. if you engage in oral sex in a relationship, you've tasted it, doesn't taste like semen straight out the source, but mixed with outer stuff, it's happens, but is either quick or not registered. it you have intercourse and oral sex within the next 24 hours, YOU"VE TASTED IT!

Of course, if she/he showed, douche, etc.., well then , it would be no. Otherwise, you've done it...period!

Well, some women do think that if men consider their semen to be too disgusting to have in their own mouths, then why should the women put it in theirs?
