Semen is typical scented organic fluid produced by the testes. It is normally cloud white, a little yellow, or slightly gray in color and smelled of chlorine. The aroma and the taste of semen can change depending on the intake of food and beverages. Semen can be bitter and acidic, or even salty. According to the world’s leading sexologist Dr. Ava Cadell, when a man smokes, drinks coffee too much, consume a lot of garlics or red meat, semen will likely be more acidic and less tasty. She mentioned that to keep his semen smelled and tasted better, a man should drink plenty of water and consume a lot of fruits, especially pineapples and melons.

| Fructose-containing fruits |
Scientifically, semen tastes sweet if contains a sufficient amount of fructose. Fructose is a kind of sweet carbohydrates derived mainly from fruits, vegetables, and honey. Benjamin Wegener, one of the researchers from Monash University School of Biological Science says that fructose is the main source of energy for sperm motility. The normal fructose level of semen should be between 120 to 450 mg/dl. This level can be maintained and improved by eating lots of fruits which contain a high level of fructose. Several types of the recommended fruits are melons, watermelons, oranges, apples, pears, durians, papayas, cherries, kiwis, mangoes, grapes, sugarcanes, starfruits, guavas, strawberries, plums, bananas, and pineapples. In addition, tomatoes and vegetables with chlorophyll such as celery, parsley, asparagus, and spinach are also very helpful to sweeten the taste of semen as well as increase sexual arousal. In contrast, the fructose level may decrease by doing a less-energy diet and excessive physical activities.
Being different from glucose, fructose does not cause a spike in blood sugar levels when absorbed by the body. However, eating fruits with a large amount of fructose can trigger hunger, making people feel hungry in no time. Kathlene Page, an assistant professor at the Keck Medical School, states that fructose may reduce the production of insulin, a hormone which provides a sense of fullness. Reported by the Daily Mail, the sweet taste that comes from the fruits and foods with lots of fructose can affect the brain working system, increasing the brain response to hunger. Furthermore, those with fructose intolerance should limit the consumption of these fruits.
