On the bright side, you can masturbate around them and no one will know! By smell at least.

    Yeah my college campus had an area with Bradford pear trees and that definitely created more than one awkward conversation.

    An awkward conversation is a conversation that feels awkward, often due to the subject being socially taboo.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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...

    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 🫩
