MANHOOD MYSTERIES: Q: Why does his semen taste salty?

Ev

A: Semen can taste different ways depending on what he eats...and how healthy he is.

Salty semen could mean that he’s been eating food with a lot of salt.

Sweeter semen means he's probably eating pretty healthy.

But food isn't the only factor that affects how he tastes.

His semen is made up of only 2% sperm and 96% water. The other 2% is made up of fructose, sodium bicarbonate, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and phosphorous.

All of these things can impact how salty (or sweet) his semen tastes.
