Smelly 'downstairs'... - Sexual Health - Women Message Board

Hi,

Basically, im a guy hoping to get some advice from some women out there.. Ive just started dating a new girl and after having sex for the first time i decided to give my 'best'. As i went down on her for oral, i noticed a really bad smell which made me nearly sick. I soon stopped and carried on with other kinda of foreplay but could still sense the smell was there.. I decided this could be just a one off and didnt think much of it..

i have now slept with this girl around 5-6 times and the smell is still there, i find it really off putting and can no way do oral. She seems a clean person so i was wondering what this could possibly be? Im not confident enough to confront her about this and talk to her about it, so any advice would be much appreciated.

Also, during sex she seems to get alot of trapped wind down there which seems to spoil the mood.. (more for her than me), could this be anything to do with it?

What is trapped wind? Do you mean the air that is getting into her vagina, and sounds like she is passing gas? (that is always kinda embarrasing) Anyways......she could have BV (bacterial vaginosis) which is a common bacteria infection women can get. It is not an STD. If you can smell it, im sure she can as well! It is easily treated, but she has to go to the doc. You cannot buy this med over the counter. You can buy med's for a yeast infection, but that doesnt smell really bad............that is more a thick discharge and itching. So, for her sake you have to say something. If you are having sex with her, you have to be able to communicate. Tell her you think it is BV and i know she will probably be embarrased. You really dont want it to go untreated. Oh, i forgot to ask............is the smell kind fishy smelling? I know disgusting, but i had to ask...........that is what BV is like! The only other thing i can think of, is if she doesnt keep herself clean and shower daily.

Unfortunately "down there" does get smelly very easily...It's the nature of the beast. Say if she showered in the morning and you are having sex in the evening, I do not think it's unusual for it to smell funky. Ask her to shower before you have sex if that's possible. I once had a BF that insisted we shower first! I once had a conversation with my sister and my neice about this smell we(women) get and my neice even asked her doctor(because it was bothering her so much!) if she had something wrong and he said that it is perfectly normal to smell and do not douche either! Just wash up a couple times a day. She really should wash up before you two have sex...I just think it's necessary...I always do!

Yes there should be a "mild" smell that is natural that all women have, that men looooove..........that is our woman smell down there that turns them on.....BUT..........a funky smell...........NO WAY normal! If he could not possibly go down there because of the smell then there is a problem going on. Seriously this sounds like an infection..............some women do have a stronger odor than other's (what type of foods we eat) can play a role, but like i said it should never be really strong and foul!

Well, unless you wash up after a BM, it starts to smell bad...very sour like a strong cheese...
