Am I ok?

This may sound like a wierd question but i dont know who to go to or how to even ask this question without feeling embarrased. My boyfriend says that my nipples taste bad, like they have a funny taste. I wanted to know what this could possibly be from. I shower daily, i know how to clean myself, my wash my clothes, i just wanted to know someones opinion. Thank you

Well, I have honestly never heard this before.. One possibility is that its all in your boyfriend's head-- no insult meant...but it is possible there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way your nipples taste.
Second, its possible, you sweat a lot in that area-- people can. If you are having athletic sex, you could be sweating-- ask him if the nipples taste salty! That could be the explanation..
The other is that you are secreting some kind of liquid. In that case, this could mean something more serious about your health-- so I would go get an examination by your doctor.
That's all I can think of-- so next stop, your gynecologist or general practice doctor!

Are you using lotion or perfume? They can certainly taste bad :-)

could it even be the laundry detergent? maybe your bra touching all day may have an effect? Maybe try this, washing as you normally do, but buy a new bra, and wear it 2 days in a row without washing it, but still washing yourself and see if that cures the problem? just a suggestion, I can't think of anything to do with you personally that would be a factor
