READ NOW Can You Change the Taste of Vaginal Secretions?   There are far more products meant to deodorize and sanitize (I’ll spare you the “do you ever feel not so fresh” joke) than those designed to change the actual taste of vaginal secretions.  I’m not only wary of those products, I know most of them to be potentially bad for you.  But just as some intrepid explorers have researched what foods can change the taste of semen, others have delved into the verdant world of eating for vaginal taste.  READ NOW Sex and Alcohol: The Good, The Bad, and The Pungent   Most people have an idea of what effect alcohol has on their sex life.  Unfortunately the ideas most people have are just slightly skewed by social expectation and millions of marketing dollars.  What few know is that one of alcohol’s less obvious effects is on how we taste to our partner.
