I ahve a couple of times.Not deliberately,but because of excessive crying and flow of tears it happened to enter my mouth.It's taste is salty.I don't know the reason. Have you ever tasted your tears? Do you know why it is salty in taste?

I think that every one of might have tasted the tears as we used to weep uncontrollably without wiping them and letting them drip into our mouth when we were kids.I remember the salty taste very much.

Ha ha ha u did not mention about sweat as its saltish too well blood is saltish u, when i had cit at my finger, i put in my mouth so it can stop so i know the taste. Sure its not blood sucking discussion, but saltish discussion

Yes,I understood that you must have sucked it while trying to stop the bleeding of either your own finger or your partner's. I don't have one. But certainly I am not waiting for a companion for this reason. :)

Yes I have tasted my tears but it's been many years since I don't cry very easily. Tears are salty because people are salty. All cells in the body have a certain amount of salt in them.

Yes, I know what you mean. I have cried many times and as a result tasted my tears. I guess they taste like salt because our bodies are made up of water sure, but also salt.
