Thank you for writing to SSIS! We want to start by reassuring you that this is a very common and completely valid concern. Despite the messaging we often hear that genitals should be “tasteless,” that’s not realistic—all body parts have their own natural taste and scent, and that’s okay!
Here are a few options to explore:
SSIS carries water-based flavored lube, flavored condoms and flavored dental dams. We offer seven flavored lubes: pink lemonade, cherry vanilla, tangerine peach, piña colada, green apple, blue raspberry, blackberry fig and lastly strawberry pomegranate. Flavored lube can help as a sort of mental safety net when engaging in oral, where you can still perform or receive oral, and any natural tastes will be masked by the flavor of the lube. You can introduce it to your partner honestly by explaining your feelings about taste—or simply with enthusiasm about trying something new, an addition to your routine. Don’t forget about our flavored condoms and flavored dental dams. These not only provide protection from STIs but also help create a barrier between you and a taste you might find unpleasant, and can make your experience more enjoyable! Happy oral-ing!
