Oh sweet baby Moses. CM-eating girl is the "Clomid from a shady online pharm so that we can conceive multiples" girl. She's just a giant melting pot of issues.
This makes sense now.

Generally they have a slighly different taste. Sticky is saltier due to the lack of water in its makeup. The most obvious difference is the texture, creamy is more like lotion, while sticky is sort of like elmers glue that hasn't completly dried.
I hope you are just joking and dont really taste your CM
I do as a part of my charting. How is it any different than when DH does oral? Besides it's my body.
I am sorry but I think that is nasty!!! How do you feel it helps out with charting??? BTW I would be totally replused if DH tasted his juices
ALLLLLLLL of this... gross. I am apprehensive about kissing DH after oral, either way it happens
Cervical mucus.... it's what's for dinner. Spread it on a warm, gooey sticky bun, or your favorite bagel. Goes great as an alternative to bernaise, too!
My question is where does one even find out that you can determine your CM by taste?? Did you read that somewhere? Old wives tale?
This is based off of something I read that said fertile cm would be neutral or slightly sweet, while non fertile cm is salty or bitter. The explanation for the difference is that during your fertile time it is more neutral and has a distinct aroma which acts as a pheremone to attract male partners. This explanation makes sense to me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but fertile cm is EW or watery. I'm still not understanding why you would need to taste it. Whether creamy, sticky or dry it doesn't matter it's not fertile. No further inspection needed. How can you not tell the difference between fertile cm & creamy cm on sight or texture?

I wondered how in the world a simple post about CM could have 50+ responses and after wasting a good 10 minutes of my life... I've still wasted 10 minutes of my life.
And as I recall, this is definitely not the first post on TB about this. Still, thinking about someone tasting their own juices for "pure enjoyment of the scientific process" makes me vom a little in my mouth.
So none of you use taste as a way of identifying cm? I've never thought of it as gross or repulsive. I think sometimes people are a little too squimsih. Why is it any different from when DH encounters fluids during oral or when you encounter his? Also I don't really see the poop connection, being that there would be no benefit to playing with poo,but everyone has their preferences.
So what do you feel is the benefit of tasting your CM is???
Taste and smell are the keenest of our senses. Adding those two components to my charting helps when I can't visually or by touch determine what type of cm I have. I'm not eating spoons of it or anything outrageous. Just a very small amount and only when I can't tell using the other signs.
dear god the mental image. it burns.

I must have missed the "tasting your CM" tutorial in FF.
ETA: I don't even understand why you would need to know the difference between the two since neither are fertile CM.
this is what im wondering... im not saying tasting it is as disgusting as everyone else seems to think... but i dont understand what it has to do with charting since only EWCM is fertile CM

He's doing it for your sexual gratification, not out of curiosity as to what your vaginal secretions taste like. I don't need to taste my CM to be able to chart what type it is. The "besides, it's my body" is like saying "I fingerpaint with my poop. Don't like it? Don't care, it's my body."

That really is disturbing! And, YES! It is different than when DH is doing oral. Personally I make sure I don't have anything oozing out of me when we have oral sex. I wouldn't want to "taste" that personally! That certainly isn't something you have seen specialist say to do. Yuck!
Even my H said, "that's gross!" while shaking his head. It is not the same as when your H performs oral. Not.at.all!
