HERE’S the bitter truth: regardless of what the hype says about swallowing your lover’s orgasmic fluid aka. cum, there is a high likelihood that it tastes funky at some point. Or maybe yours does. So what can you do?

First off, forget about commercial flavor supplements. Their product claims are unsubstantiated and potentially dangerous because of the artificial ingredients incorporated into them, starting with preservatives alone. Your best bet is to modify your lifestyle and diet, naturally.

Here are some tips to help you and your lover kick up the flavor of your love juices. They’re pretty easy to follow, and most are actually part of a healthy lifestyle.

Drink plenty of water. 1-2 liters daily will help flush out all the toxins in your body, some of which add odor to your secretions.

Cut out caffeine, nicotine, drugs, and alcohol. All of these substances pollute your system and also add to your odor.

Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. That being said, avoid asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower — these can make your fluids smell funkier. As for fruit, lemon, papaya, mangoes, pineapple, cranberry, melons, apples, and grapes are highly recommended because of their natural sweetness. Many people also swear by drinking at least a liter of natural pineapple juice daily.

Cut down on red meat and dairy. These add to bodily odor and also give your fluids a stronger, saltier flavor. Unless that’s what you want, you’re better off replacing your protein intake with lean chicken and turkey.

Stay away from strong spices like onion and garlic. Their flavors are quickly imparted into your system, and just as easily exuded. Stick with more mellow spices and herbs such as parsley, celery, and wheatgrass, as well as cinnamon, peppermint, and cardamom.

Eat as much natural food as possible. Avoid processed and junk food, because they contain unhealthy chemicals that may adversely alter your natural scent.

If all else fails, get yourself checked. Stinky emissions may be a sign of poor health or an infection.

Your body processes food anytime between 12 and 24 hours, so time your recommended food consumption accordingly. Better yet, you can incorporate some of these tips into your regular habits so you’re never caught off-guard. After all, spontaneity in sex is always delicious.
