Seminal fluid

I have been considering getting a vasectomy.  My wife and I are concerned about the after-effects of my semen.  What will it taste like after the vasectomy.  I have read that there is fructose and sodium in the seminal fluid, not the sperm.  Does the absence of sperm in my semen enhance or de-enhance the taste of my semen - or does the taste remain the same?

I'm afraid I can't answer your question.  Urologists who do vasectomies might conceivably be able to answer it.  I would assume that your decision to go ahead or not will turn on other factors.

Best.
