K so hear me out. I warmed up water and put a tablespoon of honey in it, now not the taste of it but the aftertaste has a hint of semen aftertaste. Anyone else notice this or am i losing my mind lmao
Ps no im not the cum crazed spam poster
Have you had any company over?
It's been a while since they posted but there have been a few inn posts about putting semen in people's food and stuff.
I've even seen where there is a cookbook out with recipes. Supposably some actual positive and nutritional properties in it. Kind of like breast milk, I guess.
Check your honey, although I like Boojum's explanation better!
I understand why you find this very strange, but I have a possible explanation. Stand by for a major info-dump.
First, you say you're detecting semen in the honey's aftertaste, but as we're all reminded every time we have a stuffed-up nose due a cold, what we think of as our sense of taste is actually a combination of what our taste-buds detect and what we smell.
The aroma of flowers is produced by glands at the base of the petals, but some of those aromatic compounds get into the nectar. When bees evaporate the water from the nectar they've collected to make honey, some of those fragrant compounds remain in the honey, and this is what gives honey from different flowers a particular aroma and flavour. Sometimes it's possible to say that honey is from a particular flowering plant - if the beekeeper has their hives in the middle of vast fields of alfalfa, clover or canola (oil seed rape), for example - but most honey is from a variety of nectar sources.
There is an ornamental pear tree that's very wide-spread in the USA commonly called the Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana). A few decades back, it was very popular for planting along streets and such because its cheap, the growth is rapid but limited and tidy, and in spring, it produces a splendid display of white blossoms. It also produces a definite aroma that reminds many people of semen. In one of those weird accidents of evolution, the tree produces compounds in its scent glands that are identical to some of the constituents of human semen.
Pear blossoms don't produce a lot of nectar, so they aren't the first choice of honeybees that are collecting nectar. But if there are no better nectar-sources in the area, bees will forage on them. I obviously can't state categorically that this is what you've smelled in the honey, but it seems a plausible explanation to me.
And, of course, the sense of smell varies widely between people and we're all particularly sensitive to some odours and have problems detecting others. For example, my nose is much more sensitive to the odour of rancidity than my wife's is, while she regularly detects other aromas which I can't. It's possible that, for some unknowable reason, the olfactory sensory neurons way up in your nose and the wiring of the part of your brain that deals with smells are particularly sensitive to the compounds that give semen its odour.
