Please don't tell me figs smell like cum as well! My wife just got a fig tree for our patio

You might be fine with a small potted plant, but yeah they stink.

Hm? Can't confirm. My parents have a huge one, doesn't smell.

Fig didn't smell like cum, not that I can tell what cum smells like, given that I have been covered in it so much, I can't smell it at all.

No but you're eating a dead wasp every time you eat a fig! The More You Know™

Except for all the cultivars which don't require pollination to fruit (which are the majority in some parts of the world).

And except for the figs pollinated by wasps who then manage to escape the fig.
