Im just wondering, when i go down on a girl, what does it taste like down there? Ive heard horror stories and was wondering if it really tastes as bad as "week old tuna in the sun". i know it cant taste that bad, but any help you i can get would be appreciated. and if you girls ever tasted yourself after masturbating, please tell :)
 
I'm a girl. I've tasted myself and other females. I like it--sort of tangy. Don't believe everything you hear from teenage males.
 
I don't have any problems with the way I taste and neither does my man. He loves it in fact, which is great for me :D

If it smells really bad, it's probably infected and the girl needs to see a doctor.
 
first of all, how old are you? are you sure you're old enough to be here?

Second, you've been talking to a bunch of guys who have never gone down on a girl. I've never met a man personally who doesn't love the way women taste. I've tasted myself and i love it. Have you ever heard of the movie "Scent of a Woman?" If not, go out and rent it.

You've been a victim of our male dominated media and medical system that has tried to convince women for years that their vaginas are dirty and need to be douched and deodorized. This is not true.

Go down on your girlfriend or whomever, and then go back and tell all your lockerroom buddies what it's really like.

First of all, thanks everyone so far for their help. Believe it or not, im 22 years old - just never had the chance for a sexual experience with a girl yet and was curious about what its like to go down on a girl, which is something i REALLY want to do. I knew that i read about tuna had to be fake, which is why i came here. How much cum is released when i girl cums? ive read stories where mouthfuls were released even when ejaculation didnt occur.
 
You need some new sources. Do you have any friends that have girlfriends or any female friends? Why don't you talk to them about this stuff? I mean, we'll be happy to help you out here, but what you've heard and read sound like middle-school garbage.

Yes, women can cum like men (i.e., squirting), but this is pretty rare and may or may not be achieved by using special techniques (do a seach on "Mr. G"). I've never done that myself, so i don't know. If a man goes down on me and i'm really turned on i get really slick and slippery, but rarely does enough liquid ooze from my body to even drip down my leg.

You sound like you're scared and nervous about this act, and there's really no reason. Nothing is going to come out and bite you ;)

The female friends i do have, id feel uneasy talking about this with. Yeah, i know what i read sounds really juvenille, which is why i'm looking for REAL data. In a way, i guess i am scared of it, dont know whats gonna happen, but then again, the whole sex aspect scares me in some ways. The curse of the virgins :)
 
Sex is different than what you imagine it to be. The things you thought were going to be good aren't, and the things you were dreading turn out to be fantastic. Be flexible. Go with the flow. ;-) I've had men go down on me when I was menstruating, and they sure didn't seem to mind. Just be safe and sane and know your partner. After that, it's gravy.

Going down on women to me has been one of an acquired taste. I've had partners that have literally been nectar and some more pungent than another, but either way I wouldn't trade it in for anything because of the joys that they've seemed to enjoy at the end of my spearing tongue.

Knowing that I'm pleasing a gorgeous woman is a pleasure all unto itself.:D
 
Luckily, I have a partner who enjoys giving oral sex - only the 2nd I've ever had in my life, and I'm 43! (So the myth does and is pervasive!

I've tasted myself when my man kisses me after going down on me, and quite frankly, except for wetness, I don't taste anything. I've gone down on another woman and she didn't really have a "taste" either. *shrugs*

I do know that if it's been a really hot day and I've not had a chance to really clean up, I won't let my man go down on me. I don't feel clean and I wouldn't be comfortable. Thankfully, he understands and lets it go. It's sort of like a man who has been working outside all day in heat of summer and then drops his pants. It's not really bad, but it would be better if he cleaned himself up. I feel that way about myself.

Go ahead and go for it. If you are with a woman and you take her panties off and there is a strong odor, then dollface is correct: she has an infection of some kind, typically. As I read in either Penthouse or Playboy once a long time ago: there is nothing distasteful or disgusting about a woman's pussy if she is in good health and clean. Same thing applies to men.
 
i've had a few FF encounters, as well as tasting myself, and i love it!
love giving another woman the joy of my tongue and mouth....
my man will often lick me till i come and then let me clean myself off his face and mouth, and i have never found it to be anything but nice!
every woman tastes a little different, but in the main, it's a kind of sweetly not-really-there taste....

god, i'm thinking it's been too long between women!

Not much of anything, imho, except sort of
a light musk, but it rather depends on the specimen.

As has been pointed out, infection supposedly makes it taste foul, as does lack of cleanliness.

It also depends on the diet of the woman in question. This is not a myth, it's fact, what we eat does alter our flavour down there. The same is also true of men.
Women who eat a lot of fruit have a much more subtle/sweet taste.
Those who don't eat much, if any, fruit, but do eat a lot of red meat and fatty foods, have a much stronger/tangy taste.

Pineapple is a particularly good fruit to eat, it really does affect your flavour!
 
To me women vary greatly in taste, not only from woman to woman ,but from time to time.
Week old tuna? Not even close, most women have a slightly tangy taste (due to a slight acid content that exists for hygenic reasons), a little taste of salt and a softer musky flavor due to hormones. Other things can influence the taste, such as mood, time of the month, diet and physical condition. But while there are women who do not taste as pleasant as others, a woman who is clean and healthy will almost always taste wonderful. And if you for some reason don't enjoy the taste, think instead of the pleasure you are causing her, and the pleasure she will return to you for what you have done.

I have to agree with the "tangy" comments. I can't think of a food to compare it to, but if the woman keeps herself clean it won't bear any resemblance to a fish.
 
To give you more of an idea on how much diet can affect your taste I have a little story for you.
I read a book many years ago when I was a teenager by Spider Robinson (the name of the book I can't recall) but in it was a a man who lived out in the middle of nowhere and had a problem with rabbits and deer eating his garden. A friend of his suggested that after eating a meal of mostly meat he go out and urinate around his garden, the claim was that the rabbits and deer would smell the urine of a predator and stay away. Many years later I was having the same problem and was talking to one of my neighbors and told him I was going to give it a try, he laughed and said it couldn't hurt and since he was having the same issue he was gong to do the same thing. I had forgotten the part about eating lots of meat before hand, but at that time it was nto an issue with me as I almost always had a lot of beef in my diet. Well I did it, ate a huge meal, drank a lot of water with it and a few hours later went and made a line around my garden area. My neighbor did the same thing either that day or close to it. A week or so later we were talking and I told him that what I had done and that it seemed to have done the trick. I had not seen any more evidence of rabbits eating my veggies. He said that he had done the same and had seen no difference, his garden was still being eaten. We talked and he told me that he was a vegatarian, I looked through the books I had and found the one with the suggestion in it and read again that it was due to the smell of a carnivore, not an herbivore. I told him about what I had read, showed it to him and he laughed and said that was the difference most likely. Both of us being of a curious nature we proposed an experiment in which I would urinate around his garden and so I did. The rabbits no longer ate his veggies. I can't recall how long it worked, but it is a very potent proof that what we eat strongly infuences how our bodies secretions smell and most likely taste.

(ramble ramble ramble)

but back to the subject at hand, go for it, be gently and if you realy can't stand the taste, sneak some candy in your play, a fuit flavored lifesavor slipped inside her and given time to dissolve might help you get over the taste and become used to it. It can even be a fun game, guess the flavor :) Good luck

It Is An Acquired Taste

I've only gone down on one woman, my wife, but I've been doing it for a long time Iremeber the first time, when we were dating, I had some of the same fears you have (ignorances would be more accurate). I didn't plan it or anything, I happened to find myself down there one night and decided to go for it. My first reaction was that although I didn't particularly like the taste but it wasn't as bad as I feared. Her reactions to what i was doing soon made that a non-issue. It was VERY short time before I got over my own hang-ups and quickly came to enjoy the variety of tastes. I should add that once this happens it will become a HUGE turn-on for you or at least it did for me. You now add the senses of taste and smell (and most times sound - yours and hers) to the experience.

I know that some men don't like the thought of doing it and have made the same "tuna" comments. I have heard women make comments about men not doing it or not spending enough time down there. I feel badly for them and their partners because they're missing out on a great, mutually-satisfying activity. When the taste and and aroma is strong, sometimes it does have an aroma that I guess is somewhat like tuna. But not in a bad way if you can understand what I mean. I strongly believe that the ones making those comments have probably never done it. As with most men, the ones who talk about it the most are doing it the least and have the least experience, knowledge and talent. So you were absolutely correct in coming here.

As is the case with SexyChele, my wife will many times not feel comfortable with me going down on her for the same reason. Maybe that's why I never found the taste or smell offensive in any way. My point being that the tastes and smells vary GREATLY. But I find that a big benefit. If you take a bath or shower together first (a great place to actually do it with her) there is very little taste. Another suggestion would be to use an eatible flavored lube or some food that you like.

There is a lot of information on the net on technique and do's and don't's . They also have have suggestions on how to deal with the taste if you fear or don't like it. I would suggest you read it. I used to have it bookmarked and I think I saved the bookmarks on a disk. if I find it I'll PM them to you.
 
I had heard all the stories, too. Unfortunately, my ex-husband believed in them, and so it was part of the reason he refused to go down on me. Point-blank refused. For seven years. But that's another thread.

Anyway, I was twenty-five before I actually tasted myself...and I actually loved the taste. Depending on the time of the month, like Carnus said, there is a slight variation. But it is never unpleasant. The lovers I have had since my ex-husband have all LOVED going down, have begged for it at times, and have all told me that they love the way a woman tastes.

Her flavor is part of her...unique. :) So just relax and enjoy what you find. You want to fully enjoy ALL of her, don't you?

never been with a woman who tasted or smelled bad. but i have heard a few stories about some who have smelled bad.
 
Use your nose,if it smells bad,don't even give it a try,If I can't get it past my nose it's not going anywhere near my mouth.as far as
taste every women has her own taste,never came across one I
did not like.
As long as it is clean you should have no problem,I go down on my wife evertime we have sex,it turns me on as much as it does her.
 
Agree with the tangy descriptor and perhaps related but (at least in my taste buds) distinct, a slight metallic or flinty (?) taste on the tongue??

I've been told that women get that hint of metallic taste either right before or right after their period. I know my man has noticed this change in me, and in a few of his exes as well. Is this the common experience for others?

Absolutely. I can predict a period within 24 hours based on taste & smell. Definite "iron" sort of taste.

And to Lust Engine- "acquired as a taste? Hell, I loved oysters, caviar and pussy all right from the first taste.
 
ok, i've been reading about the 'tangy' taste thing -
and thought i'd double check.

*lick*

nope, definately still a sweet-ish taste happening!

but yes, agree with the 'metallic' change. i've noticed this before.
