  Pictures may start the ball rolling, but I am not making my decision on the picture. If their hygiene is too bad once we meet in person, that will change things. >
  
  Came to say this. Gotta pass the sniff test. >
  
  Gotta do it. My ex was offended when I told her about it. I was like "clearly you passed."
  Incognito finger sniff is one of the first things that happens after 2nd bass. I hope others do the same to me. >
  
  2nd “bass?”
  It’s NOT supposed to smell fishy… >
  
  Now that is some terrific bass! >
  
  That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah. >
  
  Blasphemy! He's said it again! >
  
  You're only making it worse for yourself!! >
  
  How could it be any worse?! JEHOVA JEHOVA JEHOVA >
  
  I thought you were talking about scat fetish porn pics at first and I was so confused >
  
  yeah, "secretions"
  excretions not on the menu 🤢 >
  
  Different strokes I guess >
  
  For different folks >

  "Look at this Photograph, every time i see it makes me want to ingest their fluids."
  Kinda catchy lyirc >
  
  Make sure not to grind your mouth stones too much >
  
  Or make too much noise from your cavernous air holes >
  
  There’s gotta be a better way to put it than …ingesting secretions. Jfc >
  
  It just sounds so nasty fr >
  
  OP went full thesaurus >
  
  Good thing they're all extinct now >
  
  Lol yeah. We still got an emu though. That bih a dino. It's a chicken raptor >
  
  I need no photos to ingest the bodily secretions of a cow or honeybee >
  
  Which secretions? >
  
  Milk, honey.
  Or cow shit if you're into that. >
  
  Phlegm, blood, lymph, pus... >
  
  Fun fact the tongue is extremely tactile. Look at anything, anywhere, anytime, and your tongue knows exactly what it feels like to lick it. Kinda scary >
  
  not really, when you imagine, that's just what you're doing, imagining, I made sure of this through the scientific method 
  1- looked at AC
  2- imagined tasting AC
  3- actually licked AC
  the taste was definitely different >
  
  He didn’t say “tastes like” he said “feels like” you doink >
  
  I read somewhere this is because of the ungodly amount of crap our neglectful parents let us put in our mouths as babies. >
  
  If you think about it, all ages of humans put shit in their mouth all day, and also touch stuff. All these things also helps the tongue know. >
  
  Some men just don't smell attractive. They might not stink, but their natural smell is a turn-off. I need that info before I can say for sure. Some men smell so unattractive in person, doesn't matter how much they bathe. >
  
  I mean I think there are biological reasons behind the 'having good chemistry' sentiment. >
  
  I want to say I read that it has to do with immune system compatibility- like they have a different “type” (in the way of a blood type, not kind of immune system) and having parents with different types makes stronger immune system for offspring. It was a while ago I read the study so I could be wrong >
  
  No, you’re completely right! Learned about this in a social psychology course I took for my degree. Prof said it’s the only “true” way that opposites actually attract, and she’s right! source >
  
  we all make split second decision. luckily this one gives us another chance upon smell and taste >
  
  💀wut >
  
  Lol at this whole ass thread forgetting that saliva is a secretion and kissing is a thing.
  Buncha pervs. 😛 >
  
  Kissing doesn’t sound much better than anything else suggested here lol. >
  
  Heh I guess I was just taken aback by the zero-to-Santorum speed. 😳 >
  
  Mhmmmmm.  Frothy. >
  
  I have to date/like a man for some time before I go down... I'm sorry, but that service is saved for the special men out there... >
  
  Kisses count :) >
  
  That's some wet first kisses :0 >
  
  🤣🤣 well that's the best use of an emoticon I've seen maybe ever >
  
  Based strictly on a photograph, you are able to firmly and conclusively decide whether or not they want to ingest another human's bodily secretions >
  
  I can tell from a pic if wouldn't, for sure. But only if I "might" from a picture. 
  I had a girlfriend back when,  super hot Indian girl. Literally everything about her was A+. But when we went to get intimate, I had to dip out. It was an aroma, that had its own aura. I just used the no condom excuse and told her to take a shower while I went to get some. Came back an hour later to a much better evening.  So by a picture? No promises. If I can't lick the bowl, I don't want the cookie. >
  
  Firmly and conclusively - also often erroneously and regretfully. >
  
  Actually, no. Don't know whoever you are dating, but I have always needed to go on a date, and even then the decision is uncertain. Don't know anybody who did so just based on a photo >
  
  Really? You've never seen a photo of someone and said omg I want to slurp them senseless? >
  
  not "firmly and conclusively", no. and someone would have to be pretty bad off to do so. you really need more sensory input than a photo can provide. >
  
  Lol ok fine, two photographs. >
  
  only if one is scratch-n-sniff. and even then it would only be a firm and conclusive maybe. >
  
  💀that's fair >
  
  Some human beings. This human being in particular can get an inclination they want to ingest the pictured human’s bodily secretions, but they need to get to know the person better before knowing if they want to, or even crave it. Lol >
  
  Me before seeing photo: No.
  Me after seeing photo: Still no. >
  
  
  Looks at man
  
  No
  
  Looks at woman
  
  No
  
  Looks at self
  
  No >
  
  To be fair, we don't even do that much screening before ingesting animals. >
  
  Yes and no… I cannot even make out with a woman that I don’t like as a person first. >
  
  I sure hope that people aren't making such decisions on the basis of just a photo. I know I sure wouldn't. >
  
  Most people are not even teenage guys. There are always dealbreakers. >
  
  Never judge a book by its cover.
  Almost puking in front of someone you were so into doesn't always work.
