Why does come taste nasty? An evolutionist theorizes…

Natural selection maintains the repugnant taste of semen so that a man’s sperm will wind up in the appropriate place: the vagina and not the stomach. So long as sperm tastes bad, women will not be tempted to swallow it, but will turn their male partner towards conventional intercourse, which of course is the only act that will produce children. In other words, any male with good-tasting sperm would have fewer offspring than his competitors. A man whose sperm tasted like honey would probably not have any children at all.

But he’d live a long and happy life regardless.

  1. this seems pretty simple to me biologically. 25 is the closest so far. fruits taste sweet because at some point a mutated plant put some extra energy into making sweet fruit and all of the birds and bees flocked to that one; hence a higher survival rate. Some poisonous plants evolved nasty, bitter tastes for the opposite reason. Semen is a pretty simple mixture of the basic ingredients needed to get the sperm to the egg; this includes proteins for food and alkalinity for vag protection. there’s no real evolutionary reason why your body would waste energy giving semen any particular taste at all.

    the last sentance about honey flavored semen is probably accurate… although a honey-semen mutation would be pretty freaking impossible given the synthesis pathway of semen (there’s just no step really at which any particular flavor would be added… you’d have to randomly make a bunch of extra tasty compounds and secrete them with the rest of it; the machinery needed to make those compounds, transport them through various membranes… there’s no reason for it).

    sorry if this was a little too science-nerdy for anyone; can’t help it. i hate fuzzy biology. all of biology makes so much more sense once you get down to details

  2. I’ve heard rumors that getting your guy to consume large amounts of parsley can improve his flavor. In contrast, beer makes it more bitter. Or so I heard…

    Speaking from lack of experience in scrotum sniffing, I’d guess that it smells good because it’s right next to the biggest whopper lymph node in the body, and the source of most of the fellow’s pheromones, so if he generally smells good enough to eat, that’s going to be the choicest bit.

    To cum is an extrapolation of the more classic to come which according to the etymology dictionary stems from the 16th century to come off as in to get off in contemporary terms. It’s presented a problem considering the Latin phrase meaning with as in magna cum laude. The Leisure Suit Larry game of that name was often censored due to ignorance of the collegiate term.

  3. It’s funny, as a taste, in and of itself, cum is…OK, interesting. But in the context of sucking a guy off, it’s the best. A reward for a job well done.

  4. Actually, I think that honey-tasting sperm, if it contained that much glucose or whatever sugar, would cause one nasty yeast infection.

  5. You are all a bunch of nut gargling window lickers… SODOMITES. …and if you got a prollem with that you can SUCK MY DICK.

  6. Let me give you some advise that will make your sperm taste better. Avoid alcohol, smoking, beer, fatty foods and go for anything citrus! You can also purchase a kind of supplement that naturally removes the bitterness and salt taste of semen and adds a bit of sweetness. Enjoy your oral love!

  8. The female reproductive organ has got to be one of the homeliest looking reproductive organs ever. Don’t misinterpret this for some sort of comment from a homosexeual. It definately feels like heaven however I do prefer a womans mouth 10 times over. If she swallows it is just plain exstacy. The few times I’ve had oral sex done right it was just uncomparable to anything. I think mother nature screwed things up and should have made oral sex the natural route.
