I think more than a couple of our folks can answer this 1000% better than the answers that are there.

Posted May 21, 2017, 1:27 PM UTC
I was my husband's first oral sex experience and I'm still his only oral experience with a woman. Afterwards, the first words out of his mouth were "you smell so good," which he practically spoke into my vagina as he didn't want to move away from that spot. He has reiterated that many, many times since. When he doesn't say it, he shows it.
I don't really consider myself bi, but maybe bi-curious. I've given oral to two women. Both smelled very different (and very different from me) but both smelled lovely, and not from soap or lube or any other additive. They tasted like not much of anything, just their delightful smell and smooth, soft skin. I would happily do it again if I wasn't hardwired for monogamy. I should note that this was college and one of those experiences was alcohol fueled while the other involved weed. YMMV.
I've found the same- vagina has a very little taste. Slightly sour and perhaps metallic? But even unwashed straight from the gym, when the scent is most intense, the taste is very mild. I never understand how people can conflate the two. Or maybe my experience is atypical?
My wife loves being told how good she tastes. It sets off the "good girl" receptors in her sub brain. Recently I've had her clean my fingers or her vibrator with her mouth then kissed her, and she's had little shivering mini orgasms from tasting herself.
Unfortunately, I find the taste gets stronger and less pleasant with older women. At 45+, I found some taste bitter.
Please don't get all insecure, this is just my limited experience.
I've literally never heard anyone else say anything to this effect ever. How odd.
This is the first I've heard of that as well. I don't know what your sample size is, or how many younger women you've been down on to compare, but I'm pretty wary of that statement.
Correlation vs. Causation. At least I hope. Geez, I'm already terrified of menopause and it keeps sounding worse and worse.
Some being the key word here.
Not to negate your own, but this hasn't been my experience at all.
I agree; the comments on that post were godawful. Let's please hear from some SO30 folks.
This is when it shows how Reddit skews very young. I once posted a question on AskMen about women and aging and the mod took it down immediately. I asked him why and he said that the average age of the men on that sub was 18 and he didn't think I was going to get any useful answers. AskReddit has a slightly older average demographic but who answers depends a lot on the question being asked. In this case...
In the future, go to r/AskMenOver30 the conversations are a lot more mature. Same for r/AskWomenOver30
I can't relate to the answers over on AskWomenOver30. I don't know who those women are but they aren't my peers. :/
Oh me neither. I can't even read there. It gives me anxiety attacks.
I can see where you're coming from. I've seen some sexually related posts there and the responses are nothing like the ones on SO30. Those seem ultra conservative
Glad it's not just me.
Not just the sexual posts. At best the answers there are extremely conventional and at worst sanctimonious. It made me rather angry that that sub ostensibly represents older women in general. I wouldn't want to spend five minutes with the commenters I was reading.
Probably for the same reason that women like the taste of a man's cum or for that matter, some people enjoy rimming. Rhetorically, how much is the taste, how much is being able to just play with another person's body, especially their intimate parts, how much of it is seeing your partner enjoy the pleasure and be able to give them the pleasure?
For example, my wife loves playing with my penis when it is limp and soft. She enjoys watching and feeling it get hard. She continues to play with it and often finishes with a blow job. If I start stiff she'll play but not as intimately.
Me, I love playing with her tits, rubbing her thighs, licking her thighs, hearing her moan and then I go for paydirt. At that point, everything is heavenly - for both of us! 😛
The scent, the feel, the intimacy of going down on my wife, drives me insane. I wish she would let me do it more, but she is very self conscious about the way she smells. I prefer the spontaneity of it sometimes, that drives my desire, and anything that breaks the "same ole, same ole" is mostly a good thing, imho. She absolutely has a sexiness about her, and when she talks dirty while I am pleasuring her orally, that makes it that much better. I know some people have hang ups about oral sex, to each their own.

I only read a couple of the comments, and I'm sorry I did. That was NOT a good representation of human sexuality. THAT bordered on Red Pill BS!
I love the smell and taste, in and of itself not just because of the association with pleasing a woman. Why? I don't know, why is a sunset beautiful? Why do I love the smell of rain?
I love going down on girls. I could spend hours down there. I like pleasing her, I like everything about the act. I would not say I love the taste or the smell (if any) but it is something that comes with the act and I am willing to do it.
I bet it has to do with pheromones. The musky, tangy smell is great, but if I had my say, I'd just grow roots and stay there - and I believe that is not just the smell or giving her a great time and enjoying this.
The smell of pussy is addicting.
I was having a sexy conversation with a close girl friend recently and it occurred to me that people always say "The room smelled of sex."
So, I asked her about it. "When people say the room smelled of sex, they mean it smelled like pussy, right?"
"Yeah," she replied. "The room smelled like pussy. Wet, excited pussy."
That was a fun conversation.
Oh thank you! I was never sure what that meant either.
Yankee Candle should get on this.
"Hi. This is Nolotusnotes. I was paged to the white courtesy phone..."
The scent is unique. Not only to vaginas in general, but unique to each woman. With the right woman (women), the scent is a powerful aphrodisiac. Not flowery, but Earthy and alive. Like the smell of a suddenly bright Sun drying a still wet meadow after a hard thunderstorm. Complex, rich and organic.
The taste of a lover is a combination of the scent stated above, with the addition of soft textures and uniquely human shapes. The inner thighs, just before and where they meet the pelvis are butter soft delights to be savored.
The Mons area also has smooth skin, but is more firm on the tongue and lips. Often there is a marked bulbousness as the Mons rises past the labia and clitoral hood. I love that so. And the more pronounced for me, the better. This also shows me right where to put my palm - in order to press downward, working around the top of the pelvic bone.
This is a technique best used while two fingers are inserted and curled pulling the vagina walls tight with a downward and come-hither motion - finger tips working the sea sponge texture of the G-spot. This should be augmented with oral on the top of the inner labia. Gently sucking the area to the tongue with the lips of a salivating, half open mouth. The combination is difficult to describe with mere words.
It's easier to just show you.
I agree with you and you put that so beautifully!
I love the way I smell...I always have. I usually like the way I taste, though it's stronger when I'm not hydrated well enough. And the only woman I've gone down for it was the same. I loved the way she smelled and she either had no taste or had a bit of a taste if she was a bit dehydrated. Either way it was glorious!
I love the way I taste. I'm always going down on my husband after he's been inside me. I can't get enough, lol. Until about halfway through chemo. Then my pussy turned into a 9V battery and I almost gagged. When I asked the husband why the fuck he never mentioned anything this whole time, he said he didn't want me to feel bad about it. He just kept going down on me anyway like a champ. That is true love.
Awwww. I could kiss your husband!! Except you guys aren't into that kinda thing... 😉
That is!
That's amazing. You got a keeper.
He is.
I feel like this smell is worth discussing in a private fragrance-focused sub I belong to. Without mentioning that it was used to describe the scent of a woman's/women's pussy. Just a beautiful description. The pussy accord. 😏
Nicely put.
if you're ever in New England... ;)

I'm kind of confused by this comment actually.
Forget it, I am too dumb to decode icons, that's why I deleted it in the mean time.
