      Some trees are pollinated by beetles, flies, or other insects that might normally be attracted to rotting flesh. As a result, they often emit a more meaty odor. Why cum specifically I can’t say but I think cum has certain organic molecules in common with dead things.

        I almost did a joke re: dead things and sex, which was meant to be self depreciating… But it kept sounding like i was stanning necrophilia. So here we are.

        That’s a different tree, we have (because we plant it) the Callery pear which smells like sperm and a bloody nose combined, they chose it because of the root size and height and I guess they also couldn’t smell.
