She's Been Blowing Her Husband for 25 Years But Something's Suddenly Off... (2024)

I'm a woman in my mid-50s who has been in a happy hetero marriage for the past 25 years. We are each other's best friends, and though the sex has dropped off a bit, it's still exciting and fun. Here's the thing, though: for the past maybe ten years, my husband's sperm has started tasting absolutely horrible—bitter and nasty—and my response now, nearly every time I give him head, is to gag when he comes. Sometimes it's okay, but sometimes it's so bad that I literally throw up a little bit into my mouth. He had a vasectomy about 15 years ago, I don't know if that makes a difference. Maybe it's just age, or what he eats?

I really like giving him head because it's really his favorite and I can get creative and make him practically scream. But this taste thing means he only gets it maybe once a month because it's truly a labor of love. We have tried putting flavoring on (chocolate, etc), and that helps somewhat, but it's not always practical to have that stuff on hand. Is there something he can eat/take that will improve the flavor? Or any tips/tricks for not gagging? It really is the flavor and not how deep in my mouth—I used to go deeper than I do now, exactly for this reason.

Aged, Not Bored

Men tend to produce less ejacul*te as they age, ANB, and ejacul*te isn't produced in the balls. Sperm cells, which are produced in the balls, only account for a tiny percentage of a man's total ejacul*te—and sperm isn't a sweetener, ANB, so removing sperm from the mix (by getting a vasectomy) won't impact taste much.

So what's in his ji*zz then? Take it away, Encyclopedia Britannica...

In the sexually mature human male, sperm cells are produced by the testes (singular, testis); they constitute only about 2 to 5 percent of the total sem*n volume. As sperm travel through the male reproductive tract, they are bathed in fluids produced and secreted by the various tubules and glands of the reproductive system. After emerging from the testes, sperm are stored in the epididymis, in which secretions of potassium, sodium, and glycerylphosphorylcholine (an energy source for sperm) are contributed to the sperm cells. Sperm mature in the epididymis. They then pass through a long tube, called the ductus deferens, or vas deferens, to another storage area, the ampulla. The ampulla secretes a yellowish fluid, ergothioneine, a substance that reduces (removes oxygen from) chemical compounds, and the ampulla also secretes fructose, a sugar that nourishes the sperm. During the process of ejacul*tion, liquids from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles are added, which help dilute the concentration of sperm and provide a suitable environment for them. Fluids contributed by the seminal vesicles are approximately 60 percent of the total sem*n volume; these fluids contain fructose, amino acids, citric acid, phosphorus, potassium, and hormones known as prostaglandins. The prostate gland contributes about 30 percent of the seminal fluid; the constituents of its secretions are mainly citric acid, acid phosphatase, calcium, sodium, zinc, potassium, protein-splitting enzymes, and fibrolysin (an enzyme that reduces blood and tissue fibres). A small amount of fluid is secreted by the bulbourethral and urethral glands; this is a thick, clear, lubricating protein commonly known as mucus.

Yum!

Anyway, ANB, the older a man gets, the less of all of that—the less fructose (a sweetener!), amino acids, citric acid, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, glycerylphosphorylcholine, and that "thick, clear, lubricating protein commonly known as mucus," etc.—he produces. Consequently, your husband's ejacul*te is more concentrated these days than it was when you first started blowing him 25 years ago, ANB, something that could impact taste and "mouthfeel," as they say in junk food R&D.

So what can you do? Well, you don't have to keep swallowing. As I've said long said....

Swallowing is extra credit. It's not a course requirement. I say this as someone who gives and receives blowj*bs: If someone sucks your dick until you come, you got your damn blowj*b. What a blower does with the blowee's come after the blowj*b is over—spit, swallow, spread it on toast—is the blower's call to make.

If given a choice between fewer blowj*bs with swallowing or more blowj*bs without swallowing, ANB, I imagine your husband would opt for the latter. (Protip: blow him until he's just about to come—when he's just past the point of org*smic inevitability—then pull out as he starts to come and keep a spitty/wet hand working his shaft and head until he's drained.)

And while it's a myth that eating pineapple or chugging two cans of sweetened condensed milk can improve the flavor of a man's ejacul*te, it's a fact that our bodily fluids are impacted by our diets. If your husband has a sh*tty diet—if he doesn't do fresh fruit or drink much water, if all he eats is junk food and all he drinks is booze and/or coffee—the effect on his ejacul*te would become more pronounced over time. Getting him to eat better and drink water—not sweetened condensed milk—won't turn his come into vanilla pudding, ANB, but it could make it easier to swallow.
