Does semen have a smell?

[scottishlooby]

So I was at my friends house and she opened up a cupboard in her kitchen and was like "Eww, this cupboard totally smells like cum" and I was like "WTF, I can't even smell anything" and then we got into a conversation about it.

I've only had "experience" with 2 peoples semen and I didn't notice a smell but my friend said it definitely does - I'm confused! Does it have a smell? and what does it smell like??

(For the record I'm pretty sure the cupboard was semen-free!)

[Chris2005]

i dont think mine has a smell

[CoryW]

Mine doesn't smell either I don't think

[VirtUalAwsomeD4N_]

Mine doesn't smell

[Ethan19]

Its just different people's noses. Everyone I've been with and spoken with thinks it has a smell and fin d it disgusting.

[HardCandyGirl]

It smells like bleach :whoops:

[jamie_n5]

Yeah it has a slight smell but I can't describe it.

[mick01]

I think it has a smell around the time its ejaculated but it doesn't last forever.

[HeyCameron]

I think it does. I've noticed a smell when I've gotten it on my hand before. I don't think it's gross, but it's not really a good smell lol

[Candy in CT]

It can, sometimes what you eat can cause it to smell a little

[teenboyNathan]

Not really. It may have a tiny smell to it but not enough to where you can tell what it smells like

[NotSky]

Mine doesn't have a smell. It has a taste though. She may be referring to smegma, a white substance found between the glans and forskin which does has a smell. It is bacteria, dead cells, and old semen left there

[Hermes]

It does smell a little like bleach because both bleach and semen are alkaline. Semen needs to be alkaline to neutralise acidity in the vagina. So the cupboard, especially as it was in the kitchen, probably had bleach in, not cum.

[LilEmma]

It definitely has a smell.

[Spooky_Eli]

on it's own not really but if say, left on a fabric of some kind it can begin to smell

[Zachary G]

healthy semen should have an "ammonia or bleach-like kind of a smell," and will taste a bit sweet (because of the fructose) and salty

[Dezzy1]

Absolutely has a smell

[Fourth]

It smells like bleach to me, not that strong but if you waft the smell to you or smell it directly it does, definitely.

[kierbirmboy]

Mine has a smell and so does the semen of other lads I've been with. I can't compare it to something else, because i think the smell is unique.

[Cassius16]

I do notice a smell if I don't remove the thing I have cleaned up with.

If I've cum into tissue and then forget to put it in the bin, then I do notice a smell.

[Turbofan explosion]

At least, I don't think so.

[kinet]

A lot of guys are answering "mine doesn't"

I think that might be because you're used to it. In my experience, semen definitely has a smell.

[JohnnyMac]

Mine doesn’t. I usually cum into a sock, and reuse that sock for about 2 weeks. I don’t notice a smell from that, or right out of my penis.

[scott2002]

It smells like bleach :whoops:
I think it sort of does smell like bleach, too.

[Claire Asteroid]

I don't know

[Sofiya02]

It definitely has a unique smell that’s hard to describe. I read that some of you said it smells like bleach but I’m actually not sure how bleach smells...

[RCT109]

it does have a smell
some people are super sensative to it others arent

[gina_g]

Whenever i've gotten it on me i can smell it

[Sevro au Barca]

It definitely has a pretty distinct smell sometimes, but I don't think it always does. I only rarely notice an odor from mine. It probably has to do with what you've eaten recently, how much water you've had, etc.

[ChloeF]

Kinda like bleach is how l'd describe it, it's much stronger if the guy hasn't cum for a few days too.

[xanadu4]

Mine smells like bleach

[Beach_Blonde]

depends on the guy but it is like a lil bleachy smealling

[coolusername]

I would say it would be something like a salty penny.

[YoungHypebeast]

It smells a bit tho

[Brandon618]

healthy semen should have an "ammonia or bleach-like kind of a smell," and will taste a bit sweet (because of the fructose) and salty

Others have said something like this to me, but I have not noticed any smell personally. Taste wise I think that is a pretty much a good description.

[Zachary G]

Others have said something like this to me, but I have not noticed any smell personally. Taste wise I think that is a pretty much a good description.

mine didnt start to get a smell until i was like 15.

[Jericho14]

Depends on people’s noses. Semen does have bleach-ish smell but not strong

[Caycedilla]

I agree with those who said it smells like bleach. It’s not really a bad smell but it’s not great either

[TWDjacob]

yeah to me it has kinda a swimming pool/ bleach kinda smell

[KristenS]

Sometimes i notice a smell and others not so much.

[InternetTeen]

Mine smells like sweat. Hope that's not just me..

[georgeee]

It has a little bit of a smell but I can’t really describe it.

[Jordan99]

I think at times it can smell like bleach. It can also have a different taste depending on what my BF has eaten or drunk. Pineapple juice is supposed to make it taste better and alcohol is supposed to make it taste bad.

[Gvanni]

the more sperm the semen has the more it will smell like bleach or chemicals. if the guy ejaculated not too long ago and ejaculates again it won't smell like much because of the lack of sperm compared to the first batch. however, once it dries up it will always have a sweet smell to it because of the fructose that is in semen.

[ChloeF]

I think at times it can smell like bleach. It can also have a different taste depending on what my BF has eaten or drunk. Pineapple juice is supposed to make it taste better and alcohol is supposed to make it taste bad.

Good diet equals not so bad taste or smell and poor diet equals pretty gross taste and smell too l think.

[Chris298]

Yeah mine has a slightly bleach smell to it, but I dont really notice it unless it is fairly close to my nose

[inactiveguy678]

its bleach when fresh then it becomes starchy and pasty when drying up.

[EmilyD4]

It definitely has a smell.

Yeah I always thought it smells kinda like bleach but not quite

[Bamf_Girl]

I agree it smells like bleach, maybe sea water

[JumboFeet]

A mild smell maybe, but I've never found my own to smell bad. But I've only ever smelled my own.

[MiniYoda]

Mine used to smell but i haven't smelt anything for a long time

[LITHIUM101]

Mine smells kinda metallic kinda like salt water?

[Some Kid]

To me mine has a smell similar to bleach, but not completely like it. I could probably notice a difference between the scents.

[Katie2003]

My boyfriend's definitely has a mild odor, not unlike fish (he says my vagina has almost exactly the same smell) and you can smell it from a few inches away. I've also tasted it after he ejaculates in my hand, and it has a kinda salty taste to it, not unpleasant at all.

[thematthew]

Some people think it has a smell a lot of people think it smells kinda like bleach

[vandilization]

It definitely has a little bit of it's own smell, but it doesn't fill a room or anything. You'd only smell it if it was pretty much right under your nose.

[tinkerkell]

Yup cum certainly does have a smell, just like pussy does
Like others have said it does sorta smell like bleach but there's something else to it that makes it not smell gross
I would assume since your diet affects the taste of your cum it also influences how your cum smells

[ghosts]

I think it just depends on the person. Mine doesn't smell

[Pultost]

It smells kinda funny, but I can't compare it with anything in particular.

[annababy02]

Does the smell change from person to person in your opinion? It kinda does for me

[Gumbo00]

It smells like bleach :whoops:

Yeah ^^

[imanopenbook]

Sometimes i notice a smell and others not so much.

That's what I was going to say too. Sometimes I notice a smell but it's not a strong smell and other times I don't.

Thats for mine and others to btw

[imanopenbook]

Does the smell change from person to person in your opinion? It kinda does for me

I think it does but also maybe just from time to time too? Like i think mine smells and tastes a little different or stronger sometimes than other times and same with others ive smelled or tasted.

[HeyYo]

I've never noticed a smell?? But I guess most people here have?....is there something wrong with me?? lol

[Katie2003]

Does the smell change from person to person in your opinion? It kinda does for me

I can't help you with that one, as Matt's is the only semen I have tasted, but I asked my older sis who is 18 and been doing this a few years and she says def the smell and taste are different depending on the boy. She thinks it could also have something to do with what he's been eating recently like garlic or hot pepper.

[annababy02]

Gotcha. I have only been with one boy also and his semen has changed a little from time to time.

[ClaireHofmann]

Gotcha. I have only been with one boy also and his semen has changed a little from time to time.
Well, I have been with more than a few guys and I can say that the smell doesn't really change that much. It's never a very strong smelll though.

Now, the taste can be VERY different. It may be because they had a very different diet from each other but you can definitely get used to it.

Good to know....hopefully I can experience that sooner rather than later

Yes, it depends on what a man eats but it doesn't smell so well.

[Jill01]

It smells but not always the same.

[Ashwells9991]

totally has a smell

[denzel]

yh it does depending on the guy

[JoeyKangaroo]

Mine smells but not necessarily bad.

[Shiny99]

Semen has a smell and especially when it dries up. In the past they used semen on letters, to deliver secret messages. This method didnt work for long though, as the semen has a strong smell and it could easily be noticed.

[that guy97]

smells like bleach sometimes

[Bubba24]

Yes it sure does. Some days it may be stronger than other days

[sweetnsalty]

So I was at my friends house and she opened up a cupboard in her kitchen and was like "Eww, this cupboard totally smells like cum" and I was like "WTF, I can't even smell anything" and then we got into a conversation about it.

(For the record I'm pretty sure the cupboard was semen-free!)
Mine has a chlorine smell to it.

[kyrocks03]

Well ... it is mostly made up of proteins and sugars. Think of it this way ... If you leave a side of beef on your kitchen counter for a day and return home, it will smell rancid. So does jizz. I can spot it immediately if I enter a friend's bedroom and he has wanked into a pair of underwear or some other place and it has been left to dry. Immediately ejaculated, it smells like bleach sort of and the taste is definitely determined by the boy's diet. I recommend eating a boat load of pinepple the day before doing it with someone to give them a nice sweet surprise!

[Tsall]

Mine does not smell like anything. Is this because I’m not very far into puberty yet?

[KAwrestler]

My semen is still clear. it doesn't really smell

[Shamal]

It does have a little bit of a smell but nothing too wild

[ChloeF]

Well, I have been with more than a few guys and I can say that the smell doesn't really change that much. It's never a very strong smelll though.

Now, the taste can be VERY different. It may be because they had a very different diet from each other but you can definitely get used to it.
Same here, the smell is usually much the same, just stronger at times but the taste can vary quite a bit.

[Falcons_11]

My sperm most of them time doesn't have any odor. Sometimes though it has a slight smell of raw dough especially when I haven't masturbated in a while.

[Cassius16]

I notice a smell if I leave tissues in my bin

[jamieUSA]

i dont think it does

[TrueCharlie14]

It will if you let it sit for more than a couple of minutes.

[EmilyM]

Same here, the smell is usually much the same, just stronger at times but the taste can vary quite a bit.

This exactly

[Katrinchen]

when boys drink pineapplejuice or eat pineapples for a week or more, it changes more to a sweet taste :)

[ShineintheDark]

I've always felt it smells little chlorine-y tbh

[NamelessHuman]

I've always felt it smells little chlorine-y tbh

same

[NamelessHuman]

when boys drink pineapplejuice or eat pineapples for a week or more, it changes more to a sweet taste :)

This is gonna sound weird, but does it change to the point where you can erm comfortable well eat/drink it?

[Katrinchen]

This is gonna sound weird, but does it change to the point where you can erm comfortable well eat/drink it?

hmmm, good taste or bad taste is a personal thing - it depends only on yourself

but pineapple, fruit or fruit and juice, makes the taste more sweeter, not so "salty" ;)
try it and tell us :)

[ChloeF]

This is gonna sound weird, but does it change to the point where you can erm comfortable well eat/drink it?

Alas no, it gets a bit less yucky but that's about it.

[big-girls-dont-cry]

This is gonna sound weird, but does it change to the point where you can erm comfortable well eat/drink it?

Alas no, it gets a bit less yucky but that's about it.

LOL, that a good way of putting it!

[SilentGlacialFang]

Mine smells somewhere between sweet and bleachy. My brother's smells worse. Semen defiantly has a smell, and if you don't clean yourself up enough, some people can smell it, like me.

[Oliviaaa]

Yes it does smell. I have noticed it in my brothers room many times, after I found out what that smell is. :)

[Katrinchen]

Yes it does smell. I have noticed it in my brothers room many times, after I found out what that smell is. :)

oh ;) and how did you find out what this smell is ??? :)

[Oliviaaa]

oh ;) and how did you find out what this smell is ??? :)

When I first got some on my hand... :eek:

[Finn the Human]

It smells like bleach :whoops:

Mine smells chlorine as well...

[CharlesB]

yes it smells...…. not sure what off. but there is a smell

[heyoh]

when it comes out no, if it dries then a little.

[Connordude]

When I first got some on my hand... :eek:

Some of his?
No big deal if it was

[Connordude]

It does but usually not much of a smell, if you don’t clean it up - like some gross dudes who end up with a bunch of crusty towels, socks, tissues not thrown out etc will have a weird smelling room eventually

[Natacha]

Yes semen has a smell. I can't figure out what, but I think it's a nice smell

[Taylorrrb]

Yes it does. It’s hard to describe but it definitely does

[Maxbreak]

To me it's almost of a chlorine/ bleach smell when it does have one

[ImXur-girl]

Yes semen has a smell. I can't figure out what, but I think it's a nice smell

:yeah::yeah:

[Shiny Moon]

I think at times it can smell like bleach. It can also have a different taste depending on what my BF has eaten or drunk. Pineapple juice is supposed to make it taste better and alcohol is supposed to make it taste bad.

This exactly. And some food like asparagus make it taste reeeeally bad :-(

[Diable rouge]

Yeah, it has a smell but I can't describe it

[Natacha]

I boiled some almonds to skin them (a part of some christmas recepy) Then it got to me. The vapor from boiling almonds smells like sperm for me. Very much so

[ashleigh7]

Yes it does. It’s hard to describe but it definitely does

It does for sure...But this...above...is a perfect way to describe it :)

[Natacha]

It does for sure...But this...above...is a perfect way to describe it :)

You noticed it too?

[ashleigh7]

You noticed it too?

Ha! :) Ya it's hard not to lol! Especially if it gets on some of your clothes.

[HardCandyGirl]

I boiled some almonds to skin them (a part of some christmas recepy) Then it got to me. The vapor from boiling almonds smells like sperm for me. Very much so

That sounds kind of poetic :D I'm going to try the recipe

[Triple k]

I boiled some almonds to skin them (a part of some christmas recepy) Then it got to me. The vapor from boiling almonds smells like sperm for me. Very much so

OMG, i'll be thinking of this every time i eat anything almond for the rest of my life especially almond milk.

[jimbojones]

Yeah, it kind of smells like bleach. But it varies person to person.

[Deleted00]

smells like bleach. sometimes heavily like bleach

[tessa-]

Totally does if you don’t clean up after a while

[RileyX]

it has a smell, butto me its smells kinda clean if that makes sense

[Pika2001]

Semen tends to sort of smell like bleach or other cleaners, I assume that there were clean dishes in there, so I'd estimate that the smell was from the dishwasher cleaner that cleaned those dishes

[Dav1d]

i don't think so. my penis has a smell tho

[tessa-]

Gross
I hate how some boys rooms smell that way

[Bluegrass]

Like tuna on rye.

[Pultost]

Gross
I hate how some boys rooms smell that way

A good reason for everyone to open the window and let some fresh air inside after some private activity.

[sara___]

i don't think so. my penis has a smell tho

you need to do a better job in the shower hun

[katie3]

It definitely has a little smell

[Jrunner]

I was telling somebody the other day, u know those febreeze commercials about boy's rooms and their moms r like eww u need febreeze.... Well those commercials are totally about cum. They're not gonna just say it but yeah, I know this for sure lol

[Hermes]

it has a smell, butto me its smells kinda clean if that makes sense

I think that is by association. The smell is similar to household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) that is used in many cleaning products and which you have probably smelled when in somewhere that was freshly cleaned.

[Hermes]

I was telling somebody the other day, u know those febreeze commercials about boy's rooms and their moms r like eww u need febreeze.... Well those commercials are totally about cum. They're not gonna just say it but yeah, I know this for sure lol

If you use tissues, it probably helps to empty the trash reasonably often but, of course, that doesn't sell their product.

[arnorway]

I was telling somebody the other day, u know those febreeze commercials about boy's rooms and their moms r like eww u need febreeze.... Well those commercials are totally about cum. They're not gonna just say it but yeah, I know this for sure lol

i don't know the commercials but it's funny if that's what it is about

[Jrunner]

i don't know the commercials but it's funny if that's what it is about

Yeah I mean it could also be like dirty clothes etc but it's like why is it pretty much only boys rooms that smell that way, girls have dirty clothes too. Because cum.

[JakeMakes]

So I was at my friends house and she opened up a cupboard in her kitchen and was like "Eww, this cupboard totally smells like cum" and I was like "WTF, I can't even smell anything" and then we got into a conversation about it.

(For the record I'm pretty sure the cupboard was semen-free!)

There's a smell. It's different based on what you eat but it usually has a bleach smell. When it dries it smells bad. Like I know when my brother was jacking off a lot when I walk into his room.

[Shiny99]

Semen has smell it's not super strong but there is a smell. There are also some trees with blossoms, who smell similar to semen. Me and my friends call them semen-trees. xD

[Diable rouge]

What kind of trees ? They don't grow near my home !

[ShineintheDark]

Always thought it smelled sort of chlorine-y

[ChloeF]

Gross
I hate how some boys rooms smell that way
How many boys rooms have you been in?

[tessa-]

How many boys rooms have you been in?

Not many lol
But some friends bros before
Nothing untoward

[Claire Asteroid]

Yes it does a little bit, I found out for the first time yesterday when my boyfriend's semen got on my pyjama bottoms.

[Molliec]

Yeah I think it does.

[RCT109]

it can if it doesnt get cleaned right away

[Taelorxo2]

Yeah I’d say it does

[ashleigh7]

It does....and I swear it can smell like something they eat to. :)

[LiberalTurboprop]

It does....and I swear it can smell like something they eat to. :)

Isn't that the urban legend of dudes eating pineapple to make it taste sweeter? Don't think there have ever been a scientific study on it but fruit probably makes it sweeter and fatty stuff, cheese and garlic probably make it funkier.

[ChloeF]

The smell doesn't change much but diet definitely affects how it tastes.

[SeeEmilyPlay]

It does....and I swear it can smell like something they eat to. :)

Not sure about smelling but it definitely changes taste.

[RCT109]

It does....and I swear it can smell like something they eat to. :)

The smell doesn't change much but diet definitely affects how it tastes.


you both are right

[wrecked]

The smell doesn't change much but diet definitely affects how it tastes.

Is there really a noticeable difference in taste from different guys?

[ChloeF]

Is there really a noticeable difference in taste from different guys?
Yes.

[nadja]

Yes it has a smell... and its different from guy to guy. You realize that if you suck two guys after each other. Oops, too much information LoL

[AshleighB]

Yes it does have a smell and can always be a different smell

[TheBlueDragon]

It smells somewhat alike to bleach, honestly.

[deepthroat_tacos]

Yes it has a smell... and its different from guy to guy. You realize that if you suck two guys after each other. Oops, too much information LoL

Lol :)

[Naturelover]

is there a connection between smell of semen and the thing the boy ate before?

[ShyBGGirl]

is there a connection between smell of semen and the thing the boy ate before?

I haven't noticed a change in smell. Some difference in taste - yes but definitely not by 1 meal or fruit or whatever. To change the taste probably the boy should change his diet altogether.
For me the smell have always been like mushrooms. Hard to define. Not bad, not strong. But on the other hand I don't have that much experience

[Amy_n_Annie]

Any girl with teen brothers knows it does lol

[HFrint]

Yup... it’s the combination of the smell of cum and sweat and other stuff that leaks out of the bodies that makes sex great

[Jrunner]

Yup... it’s the combination of the smell of cum and sweat and other stuff that leaks out of the bodies that makes sex great

Hmm I dunno about the sex part but after I'm done (by myself that is) I don't smell all that great lol

[cubebuilder]

Yeah it smells

[Kari]

Ive only been around it twice so idk. Sorry for being no help ��

[Will..]

Doesn't smell.

[Jessica.lang19]

Definitely has a smell and it varies from guy to guy, also the taste is different from guy to guy...

[Petyr]

It smells somewhat alike to bleach, honestly.

Yuuppp

[Neha13]

I find the smell exciting

[cocorayo]

it smells disgusting I gotta say

[YOWB05]

Yeah it does.

[Bluebyrd]

Bumped :locked:
