I'm a 22 y/o male.. I met a female at work and we ended up seeing each other and eventually having sex. The problem is, is that she has a very strong vaginal odor and it's hard for me to stay aroused during intercourse. She is VERY ATTRACTIVE all around and I wouldn't mind staying with her Unfortunately I just don't know how to present the problem to her since I don't feel comfortable saying it "like it is". Any one have suggestions?
Hm tough situation. I say learn to love it. Once you start associating that smell with hot, sweaty, wild sex, it may not be as bad as you think.
Great ideas from everyone. and I will def. try a few things before I lose hope. I must say it's rather discouraging when we're in the heat of the moment and I can't perform because i'm turned off by the smell, and I we can't take a shower "every time". I don't think it's just me because i've been with other females and never had a problem like this.
It's not you, it's her. I use baby wipes too, if I know that I'm going to be having sex and I've been working hard all day and I might not be as fresh as I could be, it's such a easy solution. You could always use flavored lubes. Some of them actually taste pretty good.
no, but it might be a subtle way of letting her know, nonverbally and in a way which is inoffensive.... do it often enough and she may notice a pattern and just be a little more conscientious about it...i'm sure she'll notice whats up when you guys always go at it like drunk monkeys right after bathing together...
It could be some sort of bacterial infection...the smell emitted from that is enough to kill the moment.
^ true, a woman shouldn't smell bad at all as long as she's healthy. Granted, not everyone likes the smell of healthy pussy either, but it really shouldn't smell like something died in there.
Since I havent known her long enough to feel comfortable telling her "straight up"... How should I suggest that she get checked out?
Tell her that you really think that you should both go in for STD tests, if there's something wrong they will pick it up then.
Attaway, Rigamarole. I know that there is a vast difference between the strong, distinct scent of a woman's active vulva and the odor of an infection. But so many criticisms from men new to the 'situation,' have turned out to be the scent, over which there is little control - and over which I personally lay in awe - that mayhaps you have the best advice. In any event, if all else fails share my monicker with her. And, ...er....ahh...Sarahei, er...if I was around, I'd ask you to forget the baby wipes. Most women, you probably especially, are best in their own juices.
its fricking winter time. girls are all bundled up in jean, tights, long sweaty.. Holy shit.. Im a dood I sweat my nuts off in the winter cause I have so much clothes on.. Nuts be humming.. Like wtf.. ...
a lot of times strong vagina odor comes and goes, depends on what she eats, what time of the day it is, if she was a little sweaty wearing the same clothes (like if it is 90 degress out) all day there's a greater chance of having a strong vagina odor at that time. If it was a me I would not judge by sleeping with her once or twice, give it a few tries, now if it just way too over powering you gotta make mention of it and/or move on.
