What is the normal smell of sperm?

Sperm is an important secretion in the male body and an important substance for combining into fertilized eggs. Therefore, sperm plays an important role in promoting the reproduction of human beings. For most men, they are generally more concerned about the health of their sperm, because the health of sperm is closely related to male reproductive ability. For normal men, what is the normal smell of sperm?

1. The smell of semen

The taste of semen is a mixture of fluids. It is not a simple body fluid. In addition to sperm, semen also contains various secretions such as prostatic fluid, epitesticular fluid, urethra, and vas deferens. It may have a strange smell in itself.

Normal semen is composed of a chemical called arginine that is oxidized and emits a smell that is very similar to chestnut blossoms. Arginine is one of the many components contained in prostate secretions. The oxidation of arginine must be done through sexual arousal, when the prostate secretes prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid to produce the smell. The smell of semen secreted by the prostate is also related to the food consumed, and different foods will produce different smells.

2. The smell of male semen

The semen of a healthy man has a light salty taste, and the taste of sperm is also related to diet.

If his diet is mostly alkaline foods, such as fish and meat, it will produce a sour smell like cheese or fishy smell; if it is dairy products, it will produce a foul smell. It is said that semen after eating asparagus is the ugliest. Acidic foods and alcohol will produce a pleasant sweet taste, such as orange, mango, kiwi, lemon, grapefruit, lime, and drinking Corona beer with lime will double the effect.

If a man's sperm smells bad, there is another possibility that he has some disease. Normal semen smells like chestnut flowers and generally does not have the smell of natural semen. The smell of normal ejaculated semen mainly comes from the help of prostate fluid and seminal vesicle fluid. If there is a strange smell, it is likely that there is a problem with the prostate or seminal vesicle.
