Sperm taste is often described as fishy because semen contains a compound called spermine.

Sperm smells fishy. Why?

Spermine is an alkaline substance that imparts a characteristic fishy smell to semen. This taste is a normal physiological phenomenon because spermine plays an important role in semen, including protecting sperm from acidic environments and thus increasing their fertility. It

should be noted that sperm taste may be affected by a variety of factors, including diet, lifestyle and health conditions. Therefore, if sperm taste changes significantly, it is recommended to seek medical advice to rule out potential health problems.
