My ex's semen smelled and tasted faintly of bleach. Or, considering how seldom he used that sucker, maybe it was formaldehyde...

From Sedona
I think as far as women are concerned, most contact with semen either comes from tasting it or wiping it off! And since it's been a while since I've taken one in the face, I actually had to spend some serious time pondering this.

First off, I have above average olfactory sense. I can smell sickness, booze, and emotional turmoil in everyone in my family. In my husband I can smell it when he is sexually aroused before the Groucho Marx eyebrows and the come hither stares. I'm the local bloodhound of the family - it kicked up when I was preggers and never went away. Part of our afterglow is me smelling his chest hair. I just can't get enough of it.

Anywhoodle, fresh semen does have a faint odor but it's not very strong. It's almost like that kind of aftertaste of a smooth wine, just the barest hint. In my husband, it's just the smell of him - a little earthy, a little musky. Yes, it does change a bit, but since hubby eats pretty much the same thing all the time, I'd hypothesize that as women have a hormonal cycle, so do men. How to describe the change in smell is difficult, because the taste is much easier to quantify - he is tangy(er) at times. However, when the stuff dries it smells STRONG - Oil Essence of Viking type strong.

From Meranda
In my experience, most healthy men don't have much of an odor to the semen itself, although there is a residual odor of sex that is kind of the spent pheromone of the chemical mix of he and she. Or should I say, he and me?

That being said, I've always had a thing for older men, and most of my partners have been considerably older. I've found that as a man ages, he does develop a scent to his semen, I think it may have something to do with medications or vitamins, or maybe even lack of chromium, which is a natural deficit as a man ages.

From Cervo
Semen has a salty smell to it that is subtle but quite distinctive. That is possibly because there is a background scent that some say is like crispy fried onions, or musk (on an ox which has had several baths). 

I believe the scent when allowed to accumulate during a day of active recreational sex tends to be more on the order of the lemony scent of Hollandaise with just a hint of roast garlic.

From Rose
Hmmm. Good question. Requires more research; need to collect data. I'll get back to you. Now where did I put those plastic cups?

From Amanda
This weekend's lover was in his late 40s and his semen had a bit of a chemical smell. Based on a sample of about 55 men (blush), some men's ejaculate smells while other men's doesn't. Now ask me about the taste.

From Marilyn
I read you all. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the smell of fresh mushrooms or when you open a fresh package of the French cheese (Camenber)!

From Fabienne
Several years ago, I had a particularly nasty sore throat. The Dr. suggested I gargle with warm water with a tablespoon of peroxide in it. I no sooner had the mixture to my lips when I was overcome with a feeling of Deja Vu. It may sound strange but when it came time to spit it out, I felt like I was somehow disappointing a lover. That's just my take on semen.

From Cathy
I think man has his own scent but there are some things in common. I believe it does have a bleach scent, not real strong. I prefer when he's eaten sweets, it makes his cum sweeter, and I just love my sweets. But I have found that the smell for me at the end is somewhat that of the ocean. I can't even explain how it is. 

I have on a few occasions throughout my life have had a couple men that it smelled very unpleasant. I never saw them after that. To me it is like a man saying that a woman smelled really bad. Nothing is bad without a reason. I think I must go now. The smell of the ocean is calling.

From Talen
A few years back I found my husband smelling my panties. Was the dried semen on them his? I jokingly told him that if they were red it was his, if the panties were black lace the semen was my lover's. Fortunately he laughed. 

The smell is quite distinct and does, like the taste, depend on diet and consumption of alcohol. My husband has a penchant for spicy Thai and Indian foods so his semen has a very distinct taste and smell, one that I've gotten used to, hence his ability to smell himself on my undies, so non-hubby semen on my panties is not good news.

From Nadine
I was 21 when I first experienced male ejaculate, and I've had about 8 or 9 sexual partners in my entire life (male partners, that is). I've found that semen definitely DOES smell, and I liken it to bleach. I've never gotten used to it to the point that I revel in it, but I find it more tolerable than I used to. 

When I watch a video wherein a woman squeals in excitement at getting a facial, or where she accepts it in her mouth, I always wonder how much they're getting paid. I assume it must be a LOT of money, because I personally don't like the taste OR the smell of it.

I will admit, however, that if someone offered me about $1500 or more to film an oral sex scene, I'd give an Academy Award-winning performance!

From Sascha Illyvich
Yup, semen has a smell. It's obviously dependant upon the diet a person has, I know of men with chlorinated smells. I can't get that away from mine! Ick! And I drink a lot of water but I also drink a lot of alcohol too.

My girlfriend suggested orange slices. That worked well. It's also been nice to see consistency change with our changed diets consisting of Chinese herbs.

From Anonymous
Like Sedona, my sense of smell kicked up during pregnancy and never went away. [See Sedona's entry below] I love the scent of semen, or maybe it's just the sex I associate with it. 

Oddly, we have some trees in our yard that smell of semen when they flower. I thought I was just nuts (or horny), but female friend not only confirmed that our trees smelled of it, but shared that she'd had experienced the same scent with trees before.
