I shower about 5-6 days a week, and occasionally in the evening when my last shower was the previous morning. No matter when I've showered I will have sex if we want to, I certainly never excuse myself to go wash up. If I haven't showered in a bit the only thing different is we probably won't do anything anal.
I wash the area where my thighs meet my crotch with soap, but not my actual vulva (that doesn't need soap). I rinse the whole area well with water, getting in the folds (but not the actual vagina). I don't use any feminine wipes.
I know this might sound weird, but most people who enjoy sex with female-bodied people LIKE how vaginas smell. If I'm really wet and turned on I'm certainly not going to go wipe that off in the bathroom, the only response I've gotten is "oh baby aren't YOU turned on!!" Vaginas emit liquids and smells when aroused, and people who like aroused vaginas tend to enjoy that.
As for shaving, I shave my pubic hair into a triangle once a week tops in the winter, maybe twice a week in the summer, certainly not daily! Gosh, that would cause a lot of irritation. I trim the triangle every three months maybe. This doesn't change whether not I'm in a relationship. Sometimes I go a couple weeks in the winter without shaving.
I've been active for years and don't change for my partner. I figure, if they don't like the look or smell of my vagina they shouldn't be having sex with me.
