Oral Sex vs Sensitive Nosed Boyfriend

[xvmoonchildvx.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. I just joined today, and I read thru pages of postings here, and didn't really find an answer to my question. It may come off as making my boyfriend sound horrible, or make me sound icky, but he's really not, and I'm not either...it's just this one issue we (I) have:
He rarely ever has oral sex with me. And I do it often for him. He says he just has a really sensitive nose, and the smell puts him off. :( This worries me, because I use feminine wash and bathe on a regular basis, so I'm pretty sure I'm healthy. I was wondering if there is a better wash out there that can make the scent...I dunno..something he might prefer...like citrus...(my mother pretty much never explained things to me when I was younger and had to discover the joys of menstruation, wash, and sex all by myself without any direction, and I don't really have any friends to consult about this). I just really miss oral sex. My last boyfriend was all about it, and never seemed to mind my scent. So I figure it must be an issue of the current one.

Sorry if this was covered some place that I missed. And thanks for taking the time to read. :)

I just wanted to reiterate that putting scented stuff in and around your vagina is usually bad, but especially "feminine washes" or douches. It can upset the natural balance of bacteria and things in your vagina and cause infections. That said, the best way to keep clean - warm water and your fingers, in the shower, maybe with some mild soap *only on the outside* (your vulva) if you feel you need it. I second the recommendation of unscented baby wipes sometimes when you feel like you want to clean up a bit.

Foods that might make you more strong smelling include meat, coffee, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and sometimes spicy food. Pineapple is supposed to help sweeten your taste. Mostly though, just make sure you're hydrated, eating right, and letting your vulva breathe. If you're doing those things and you don't have an infection, then there's nothing wrong iwth your smell - it's probably your boyfriend's sensitivity, not your scent that's the problem.

I'm sorry your mom wasn't very helpful with the whole growing-up-and-keeping-you-informed thing, but if you hang out here for a while you will learn a lot of things your mom never told you really quickly, I bet. :)
