I think it’s mostly psychological, but if I had a cup of my own spit, it wouldn’t last very long, it would quickly start to break down. And that would be unpleasant.
So I think as much spit as I could fit into a cup in 15 minutes sure I could drink that no problem. Any longer than that and then you start having to worry about the breakdown and that’s going to change the flavor.
Oh I agree, it is absolutely psychological. I was only providing context for you because most people would absolutely refuse to drink it. I myself have a pretty negative history with saliva and would refuse to drink any amount once it’s left my mouth; regardless of the science behind it.
I’m pretty sure most people already know it’s a psychological aversion but the why is the question. There is seemingly no reason for it

So spit is hydrating and a sloppy tounge kiss is sharing hydration
