"Like a rubber doll that was stored in a pickle factory."

When we think about licking or sucking a penis, we may be thinking about the pleasure our partner is going to get out of the experience. But how often are we really honest with ourselves about the most basic of all issues: what does a penis taste like?
Much like with anything else we put in our mouth, the taste is going to vary. And this can depend largely on the last time they showered, if they were exercising, what time of year it is, and especially what they have eaten that day.
Everything they will put in their body will impact their taste, and generally, guys with a diet rich in fruit are going to get better taste reviews than those who are heavy carnivores or smokers. Score one for the vegetarian diet!
Things that also determine taste? What they wore that day or even if they are circumcised! The flavors you find funky may be delicious to another.
And to that end, there is a lot of variety in the answers we received to this question!
So, what does a penis taste like? Here's what women had to say.
1. A set of candy wax lips
"My husband's piece always tastes like those wax lips that we used to chomp on as kids. Waxy is the keyword, but also fresh and very smooth."
2. Breakfast meat
"It appears to be unrealistic; however, there's certainly a clue of firm flame-broiled sausage to my beau's penis. I've generally been crazy for tasty breakfast sustenance, so I plant my face in his groin each shot I get. He supposes I'm a goddess of a sweetheart, clearly."
3. A funky scent
"There is nothing worse that funky smelling dick. It's a common misconception that uncircumcised penis smells worse than those that are circumcised. Men with uncircumcised penises have more to clean and pay closer attention to than most men who are circumcised."
4. It depends
"All penises taste different. Not to get into too much detail, but if a dude says he doesn't eat vegetables, don't blow him. In fact, I recommend a diet high in fruits and vegetables to all dudes who want blowjobs."
5. Fabric or clothing
"To me, it's always tasted salty and fabricky. In a way, it tastes like their clothes."
6. Nothing at all
"But really, it's like nothing. Tasting like nothing is hopefully the goal anyway, right?"
7. Like meat, but not just one kind
"I've been with my husband for 12 years now so I can't remember all the blowjobs I've given. But I can tell you there's no consistent flavor between them all. It's like meat: Beef doesn't taste like pork which doesn't taste like chicken. "
8. Dead, rotting fish
"In the summer all penises taste like a dumpster full of fish carcasses left out to rot in the hot sun and should be avoided unless they are in the 1-hour post-shower buffer zone or held in a climate-controlled sort of situation."
9. Rubber
"Like a rubber doll that was stored in a pickle factory."
10. Salted cheese
"When it's good, it tastes like sweet musky scented skin. When not good, it tastes like salty cheesy feet."
11. Soap
"I really prefer freshly showered penis, so the dick I'm with (ahem, my husband's) tends to taste like Dove Men + Care Extra Fresh Body Wash."
