Definition: While people sometimes talk about the taste of oral sex, or about not liking the taste of their partner when giving oral sex, there isn’t a single expression of fluid that results in an oral sex taste.

The taste of oral sex is the result of many factors, including:

  • natural secretions
  • lubrication that may be expressed during sexual arousal
  • sweat
  • the presence of bacterial or yeast infections
  • any dirt on the skin
  • make-up, or other cosmetic or topical products on the skin
In the same way that what you eat can affect the smell of your sweat, it’s likely that what you eat has an effect on the taste of your natural secretions.
