There is no doubt that hygiene is an important part of a healthy sexual relationship. There is also no doubt that the scent of a woman is quite intoxicating to men. The difficulty many women have is in identifying the difference between their natural scent, andoffensive odor. Don’t laugh. This problem causes many females to deny themselves the pleasure of the oral experience, something most men enjoy giving, because they fear that their Begonia’s “smell”. (God bless my friend, Sandra, for always calling her own vagina “the old Begonia”! I’ve often heard her say she just showered and splashed some water and soap on the ole Begonia. Cracks me up everytime, and it’s the nicest reference I’ve heard attributed to a vagina.)
First off, all women, and men, have a natural scent distinctive to their bodies. A healthy, clean women, even fresh from the shower will have a natural odor in her vagina. It’s called pheromones. It’s called bodily secretions. It’s called Eau de Sex, and men love it!
Think of it like one’s belly-button. No matter how many times you wash it with hot water and soap, when you stick your finger in it and smell that finger, there will be a particular smell. That’s not to say a vagina smells like a belly-button. That’s just an analogy.
For women who do have a persistent off or fishy odor, there may be other factors in play, such as a developing yeast infection or perhaps she’s on the last few days of her period. Often, for up to 2 to 3 days following the end of the menstrual cycle, women can detect a coppery, fishy scent related to the recent blood letting.
Ifitching, redness, or cloudy secretions accompany this scent, see a Gynecologist immediately as this indicates an infection in need of medical attention.
For all others who do not have problems with infections, denying your lover access to the source of your womanly charms via his tongue isto deny not only one’s self, but also ones lover the pleasure of giving a good tongue-lashing!
There is no need to worry about how you smell if you are a regularly clean, showered person.
The question of whether or not a few men have had to deal with a girlfriend or wiferefusing to allow their men to orally satisfy them was put to the polls. Answers came back from not only men, but women as well.
Kevin G. : “It helps when she’s into it. I think once (years ago) it smelled “off” (we stopped…). She (ex-girlfriend) went to the doctor and she had an infection (I think bladder). I know, not the sexiest thing to mention.”
Kate W. : “These “many women” you mention make me sad. Take a shower if you want, and get back in the game ladies. (I’m like D. Phil, but without the male pattern baldness.)”
Steven C. : “ I love the scent of a woman! Hoo-ha!”
Kat M. : “I’m with Kate. If a woman thinks she stinks, she should wash her (butt) instead of sitting around worrying about how it smells. I think the majority of men appreciate the scent of fresh p**&& more than floral scented spray that tastes funny, too.”
Erica B. : “I have respect for my husband, so no matter what I am fresh, and fully clean down therebefore he goes for the all you can eat buffet. If a woman has a smelly VaJay, that is not normal. They need to do something about it instead of just masking the odor with perfume.”
Mike H. : “Any guy who tells you he doesn’t like any scent from a woman is full of crap. That’s what gets us going much like the smell of a man gets a woman going. Personally, my motto is, “if I ain’t eatin’, we ain’t playin’”. I’m one of those who loves to perform oral on a woman, and will do it as much and as often as she likes. Women, if you are self conscious about your scent, it is probably costing you a great deal of pleasure, unless of course you just have health issues or otherwise. Trust me, if it was bad, he would have left you already.”
The verdict seems to be in. Ladies, hop into the shower, then hop into bed and tell your honey-bunny that the Y is open for business. Sex should be experienced, without reservations, through all five senses; sight, sound, touch, scent, and taste. Remember that half the pleasure of sex is giving, and denying a partner the ability to“give” pleasure, takes pleasure away from both. Throw caution to wind, and dive in. The water’s fine!
