Is It Normal For The Semen To Taste Acidic?

I would like to know if its common for sperm to have a burning feeling on the tongue. I was told by my girlfriend that it as a very acidly feeling. This never happened before. Any thoughts on that. I'm 33 yrs old 5'5 height and weight 135. My medical check up usually yearly, never had a std, however I recently started to exercise, using pre-work out drinks and protine drinks.

Hello, welcome to health care magic. I am Dr Alok Sinha, MD Psychiatry from India. I will try my best to answer your query.
I have carefully read your question and I understand your concern.

Semen is not acidic rather it is slightly alkaline in nature (Ph 7.5 to 8). Both alkali and acid produce burning sensation on surface of skin and tongue. In case of dehydration the semen may be more thick and more alkaline. As you accept doing workout and drinking high protein drinks, apparently it has caused little dehydration and thickening of semen. Thick semen is more alkaline, which is responsible for mild burning sensation on tongue. It is common and nothing to worry.

I hope it answers your question. I wish you all the best.
