MistyDense:
Being wanting to ask this question for a very long time now, but each time I wanted to, there's no one to ask.

Am I the only experiencing this or have I lost my sense of smell?

There's a way hypo bleach smells when it touches your fingers and same smell can be likened to that of the Sperm/semen.

Doctors on nairaland, could you please explain the phenomenon behind this?
Semen often has a chlorine-like smell due to its slightly alkaline pH and the presence of certain chemicals like amines. These chemicals contribute to a mild, ammonia-like or bleach-like scent, which is considered normal for healthy semen. Variations in diet and individual body chemistry can also influence the specific odor.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Alkaline pH:
Semen is slightly alkaline, with a pH level typically between 7.2 and 7.8. This alkaline nature can cause it to smell like ammonia or bleach, which are also alkaline substances.
Amines:
Semen contains various amines, which are organic compounds that contain nitrogen. These amines contribute to the characteristic smell of semen, which can be similar to bleach or ammonia.

Diet, hydration levels, and individual body chemistry can also affect the smell of semen. For example, certain foods might alter the smell of semen, and some individuals may simply have a more pronounced natural odor.

The chlorine-like smell is actually due to the presence of citric acid, calcium, fructose, and other compounds in the semen. It is not unusual to notice a stronger smell, similar to bleach or ammonia; this is also considered normal.

You can give your own opinion without sounding rude and disrespectful. We all have different sense of smell towards a particular thing. Mine may not be yours and yours may not be mine. Decorum and civility should be able to teach you some things
