I'd be hesitant to perform oral if my boyfriend hasn't showered in 24+ hours, but there have been occasions where it hasn't stopped me. If I haven't showered for 24+ hours, I'm also hesitant to let him go down on me. If we have the place to ourselves, I would propose a shower together -- why detract from the mood by excusing yourself to clean up? Take him with you and make it part of the fun, if you really see need to bathe.
Any other sexual activity, "cleanliness" hasn't stopped us. While both my boyfriend and I prefer hairlessness, we've never objected when one or both of us started getting fuzzier (or stubblier) and it hasn't stopped us yet.
Especially if you haven't become sexually active with him yet, it's hard to gauge what to and not to do. If it's not in your routine to shower multiple times a day and there's really no need for it, and you've never had to use wipes or change your diet before, I'd be tempted to say "don't bother". I don't think it's being an inconsiderate partner as one of the other commenters mentioned either because I certainly wouldn't do it, but you shouldn't have to go so far out of your way to accommodate someone, especially someone with whom you've yet to become intimate enough with to know whether they would actually ask these things of you.
I think there'll always be some variation of crotch-smell (for penises or vaginae) that people will joke about, but everyone's got some scent and if you're really into your partner and he's really into you, it won't matter.
I'd caution against wipes too, but eat healthy, stay hydrated, and there shouldn't be reason to object to your taste or smell.
