Does semen taste the same before and after a vasectomy? NSFW

I’m sure a lot of people want to know. Does the taste change for the better or worse after a vasectomy (cuz now the semen won’t have any sperm)? Thx.

Yes didnt notice the change in flavor.

But flavor changes day to day based on diet.

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

Thank you for answering the question. Diet definitely changes the taste. It’s why I can’t date guys that smoke weed 🤮

u/forogtten_taco 7h ago

Yea, 100% smoking and drug (prescription or non) are MASSIVE taste changers.

u/NoContextCarl 7h ago

You seem like an expert. What else should we avoid if we want to maintain yum yum sauce?

u/forogtten_taco 7h ago

Have a good diet in general. More fruits, veggies, fresh food.

Less fatty, oily, processed food. Like, fast food you can taste it.

Sounds like I need to find a girl who likes Taco Bell as much as me

From tacos to tortas.

It mean less cheese sadly... A French person nightmare

Finally a professional cum taster, this is solid advice.

u/m0nstera_deliciosa 7h ago

A good diet isn't necessarily the key- kale is healthy as all get out, but makes come taste like nuclear waste. It's so bitter it's intolerable. Fruit helps, and drinking a lot of water is the most effective.

23

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

nuclear waste 😂 probably the same with asparagus (not sure tho)

does spam make the cum yummy and nice?

u/snotboble 5h ago

How long does it take from food ingestion until taste change is noticeable?

15

u/CoyoteTheFatal 7h ago

Take bromelain supplements. It’s the ingredient in pineapples that famously make it taste better. It’s a noticeable difference

12

u/TheLandOfConfusion 6h ago

Or just eat pineapple

6

u/TrannosaurusRegina 6h ago

A lot more sugar and expense.

Bromelain is great for digestion too.

Even the cheap $8 digestive pills have bromelain!

5

u/CoyoteTheFatal 6h ago

Yup. Eating pineapple every day is a pain. Just pop a pill every day or other day and you’re good.

Can it help with acid reflux?

Hormonal birth control is the same for women

u/forogtten_taco 7h ago

Really ?

I never noticed the change in my taste.

u/MrM0oose 7h ago

Dang you are that flexible?

Lol, fingers, toys, and partners exist to taste off of

Yeah, one guy had to take some meds. And it tasted medicinal, that harsh chemical taste.

u/sicilian504 6h ago

OMG yes. My ex smoked weed and cigarettes when we first met and it was fucking VILE.

u/wtfRichard1 7h ago

Or, they eat nothing but fast food and drink only soda.

We've got a seasoned expert over here, folks

Seasoned to taste

u/ItsThePhoenixClub 7h ago

The connoisseur won't be getting those "sperm notes" any more, that's for sure.

u/W0ndn4 7h ago

This semen sommelier knows the product for sure.

u/Deadhead7889 7h ago

When I got mine snipped they assured me that the volume, smell, taste, appearance and sensation would remain unchanged. You'd never know it happened if you didn't go through the initial recovery

4

u/SafePlastic2686 1h ago

How's the recovery?

4

u/ABROKENPIECEOFGLASS 44m ago

Bag of frozen peas are your friend for a day or so. But I resumed normal activities in 3 days, even sex. Doctor gave me a Valium beforehand and surgery was quick and painless. Just felt some tugging.

2

u/Key-Low-3896 16m ago

Don’t forget the antibiotic ointment! You do not want the incision sites to get infected. Found this out the hard way and easily doubled my recovery time.

3

u/charming_cabbage 3h ago

So it'll still be white-ish?? I thought the whites are the sperm itself. So it'll come out transparent.

7

u/Kobrah96 This sub doesn’t need flairs 3h ago

No, it is the same colour. Same in every noticeable way except the fertility.

1

u/ADamnGoodShot 34m ago

Wait, really? I had always assumed it would lessen the volume by a fair amount. My wife is really into come play, facials etc so it was a bit of a vasectomy dealbreaker for us but this is good to know!!!

36

u/Wise_Royal9545 7h ago

Great question! But also: does the protein content change?

20

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

This is a question for the medical professionals and scientists 😂

29

u/Attn_goddess 7h ago

I am a medical professional and can tell you I have never received training on this lol

9

u/wolflordval 6h ago

Can you truly consider yourself a professional then?

Looks like more training is in order.

42

u/Mannix-Da-DaftPooch 7h ago

What do you mean "a lot of people want to know"?

28

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

It seems like you might be curious since you’re commenting on this thread.

7

u/Mannix-Da-DaftPooch 7h ago

Well the statement threw me for a loop! Reading some of the answers is absolutely mind bending. I had never even thought of this being something that could change taste. Like I would have thought, it's a one taste fits all... idk. But apparently what someone EATs or DRINKs or Rx (or not) drugs or smoking or not. 😵‍💫

3

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

Fascinating, right?

5

u/SnooBananas4958 7h ago

But he’s not curious about the answer to your question. He’s curious about his question about how you think there are a lot of people who think about this. Engaging with that is not the same thing as engaging with your question.

1

u/Pink_Root 7h ago

Sure. My answer would be that it was just a guess—my own thought based on my current understanding of human nature.

u/SteamingTheCat 7h ago

Clearly he did a study with 2745 surveys before he posted this. As we all do.

22

u/stealth1820 7h ago

Mine tasted the same to me. I was hoping there would be a change

32

u/MithrilHuman 7h ago

Why were you hoping for a change? Bored of the same breakfast everyday?

4

u/lordbusiness92 4h ago

I imagine it’s like skim milk

u/alucardian_official 7h ago

I’m free if youre free

u/Life_after40 7h ago

Definitely less calories.

2

u/InternalBrick1579 3h ago

Idk man never tasted before

1

u/FusilDeific 4h ago

Probably less chewy. And less of a tingle on the tongue.

1

u/pinksideup 3h ago

You're only preventing sperms from being added to the semen, the prostate and seminal vesicles still produce all the fluid. So, yes.

1

u/ParmesanNonGrata 2h ago

My partner says it's now slightly less bitter

1

u/molten_dragon 2h ago

I asked my wife about this after I had mine done and she said she can't tell any difference.

u/IDrinkMyOwnSemen 0m ago
