On the bright side, you can masturbate around them and no one will know! By smell at least.
Unless the tree narcs on you.
God damn talking trees, snitching bastards all of em
Damn, I wish I'd read your second sentence.
Yeah my college campus had an area with Bradford pear trees and that definitely created more than one awkward conversation.
Wait, a what?
An awkward conversation is a conversation that feels awkward, often due to the subject being socially taboo.
But that’s not important right now. Don’t call me Shirley.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Gladiator? I hardly know her!
No, they surely referred to "college campus" with their comment!
A college campus traditionally refers to the land and buildings of a college or university. This will often include libraries, lecture halls, student centers and, for residential universities, residence halls and dining halls.
Like a conversation about why everything smells like cum amongst a bunch of 18 to 23 year olds.
Since no one has given you a serious answer yet, Bradford Pears are the type of tree that smells like male ejaculate.
They even make these long strands that are covered in their tree jizz (pollen)
The people I know who say Bradford pears smell awful say they smell like piss, not cum.
All of the people I know who say Bradford smell like piss also have the cilantro tastes like soap gene so I always wonder if the two are related or just a coincidence in the small sample size.
I like cilantro and think Bradford pears have a strong smell like many plants do, but it doesn't remind me of anything in particular.
They must consider you "polite society" so they say piss instead of jizz.
I love cilantro, it tastes like heaven not soap. But bradford pears smell like jizz.
Nope, one is my wife who laughed the first time she saw a meme about it smelling like cum and speculated they mixed up their trees.
Ginkgo trees don't have flowers. They are gymnosperms like pines, firs, spruces, cedars etc. They produce cones.
Their "fruit" smell like ass though. Not even fruit, just a fleshy pine cone of sorts.
They smell like vomit.
Not even fruit, just a fleshy pine cone of sorts.
Some places they eat the fruit, like Japan and China
Isn't all pollen basically tree cum?
No, it's genetically the offspring of the plant, and contains at least one non-reproductive cell. Pollen produces the male gametes, so the seeds created from it produce the 3rd generation of plant, genetically speaking. (1st gen is pollen producer, 2nd gen is pollen, 3rd gen is seed.) It's basically an ultra-minimal gametophyte stage.
So it's tree...pre...cum? Wait, no, the tree is throwing his balls into the air, but he also grows more balls..?
Why did I even start typing today?
Well, the pollen does grow an enormous (relatively) schlong to deliver its sperm into the stamen...
Yeah, but why does it sometimes smell like mammal cum?
I don't know WHY. But the relevant tree is called (Götterbaum in German) or Tree of Heaven - beautiful
Fucking hate trees of heaven, they should be called Trees from Hell. Invasive little shits grow everywhere
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.
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.

The mark of a legend.
I thought this for the longest time until I fell down a rabbit hole a while back. Pollen is literally the tree's offspring in the form of microscopic plants. When the flowers of a tree are fertilized, the pollen literally grow into the actual reproductive parts of the plant to begin the fertilization process.
Reproductive organs smelling like reproductive organs isn't that weird, now that I think about it, reproductive organs smelling like flowers are weird...
You're a wizard, Harry
I absolutely hate Bradford pears but people in the south LOVE planting them. Damn fools, I say!
I have friends that apparently can't even smell them
Smh outed themselves as gooners who can't even tell anymore
Cumtrees also have a right to exist
Bradford Pear tree next
figs have entered the chat
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.
Pretty flowers they remind me of my dearly departed Harold.
We have this other tree that’s grown around here a lot. It has the most beautiful explosion of purple flowers every spring. Then it just smells like cum all day lol
