I 23F am going to see my boyfriend 24M end of this month and he said he’d like to try oral but I’m not quite secure about it. I have never really touched myself and seen myself down there. I’ve seen posts where men say it smells fishy and they are disgusted and shit. I don’t know if I should just let it be, I’ve turned it down a few times before saying I wasn’t comfortable. My bikini area is also a bit dark that adds concern to it. What is it like ladies? How did you find the confidence and men what’s your take ?
How does it smell down there?

If you’re not comfortable with it then don’t let him do it.
Arid mostly but it depends on what part of Australia you are in.
Nothing wrong with having a shower together and making sure all your bits are clean
I overall don’t like it, it’s not stimulating to me. It shouldn’t smell bad, just weird, kinda sweet. All areas are dark because during puberty melanin receptors work overtime due to the hormones, everyone has their body parts slightly (or visibly) darker. Stop watching corn or else you won’t ever enjoy intercourse.
Generally as long as my partner has showered, it’s fine. Usually it has a mild and somewhat sweet / salty taste.
Guys do it because they enjoy it, so hopefully that applies for your guy too. If you want to let him try and he’s into it, go for it!
Keep yourself hydrated and have a lot of fruits. Some say that eating pineapples help in making the vaginal fluids taste better, I personally haven’t found a marked difference. Just being hygienic and shaved is sufficient to make the experience for your BF better. Please dont be too insecure about this. Just enjoy the feeling and let go of your inhibitions.
If you are free of infections or STDs and shower regularly than I’m sure it’s fine.
Just take a shower. Long as you’re clean and healthy you’ll be fine.
I think the fish smell is on certain ppl who dont clean themselves after sex
Take a shower, do it and most likely there will be no regrets. Because it’s amazing
Just do your normal basic hygiene, make certain that if you have to urinate sometime between bathing and your sexual encounter, that you finish off with a moistened washcloth. I have occasionally been confronted with pilled up toilet paper residue and an occasional unpleasant urine/ammonia scent that was both unpleasant and a bit of a mood killer. Most men are intensely excited by both the appearance of a woman’s vulva, as well as her healthy vaginal floral aroma. I encountered a situation where lady I had intended to pleasure had somehow spent so much effort in ensuring her “cleanliness” that she had neither a scent, nor flavor. That actually had a negative effect on me because it deprived me of that stimulus. If you’re close to your menses, then it might be best to wait until later.
Don’t ask us how you taste or smell. Get yourself wet and lick your fingers.
I never had any issues going down on a lady. If your personal hygiene is on point, hell even if it’s bare minimum, you have nothing to fear.
Seriously, do you shower daily? If so, you’re good to go.
Shower beforehand and if you’re still unsure, bring some wipes with you or clean up in the washroom. It’s really not a huge deal if he’s excited about it.
as long as you properly clean yourself in the shower and use a bidet/baby wipes after the bathroom, you should be totally fine.
Woman who smell fishy down there have a PH unbalance.
Show regularly and you will be fine.
Take it from this old lady. Men do not care if you have not showered in a week. 😀 have fun, and relax
Vagina soap for the folds and flaps (not in the hole). Summers Eve is a great brand. It usually lasts me about 12 hours. Also drink water until your urine is clear because small leaks of pungent urine can be bad for the hygiene down there. Floragen women’s probiotic is also great for maintaining good bacteria down there so it’ll keep itself clean on the inside. Most importantly, don’t do something you aren’t 100% sure about. Your comfort is most important
Tastes like pennies. Smells like healthy fish.
You should smell it.m for your self. Genitals have a scent you shud be a bit familiar with with what you smell like so you know when you just smell like you vs something else. You’re fine you have nothing to worry about. Also a large percent of men like the scent of it. Just take a shower close to the time to feel your most confident.
I would recommend some products that work but they always get down voted by people who think every smell is a major medical issue.
A fishy smell is not normal and means something needs attention. It’s normally caused by trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis. A healthy vagina smells and tastes like plain yogurt. It contains the same bacteria as yogurt. All the “tuna taco” jokes etc need to stop. They are giving people an unfounded fear that our bodies are gross. Most people who like you are going to be happy to go down on you.
He took a deep breath and said good morning ladies.
I love giving a woman oral. If it makes you more comfortable take a good shower first, but a good man doesn’t care too much. We just want to make you feel good.
It would only smell fishy if you don’t wash yourself off after peeing, after a while. If you give it like a few days, you will be stinky down there. If you shower regularly, you are fine.
For some reason the guys who think women’s anatomy smells bad are loud, but those of us who are actually very turned on by women’s scents don’t have our voices out there much. IMO it depends on the maturity and “appetite” of the partner. Vaginas are gonna smell like vaginas. Women should be aware that there are partners out there who LOVE this, and stop settling for those who say they’re gross.
You do not have to do anything until you are completely comfortable. If your partner is a good person he will understand that you need to feel ready.
My partner 29M loves giving me oral 31F and says it tastes amazing but we love each other and he absolutely adores me which makes me feel comfortable.
Vaginas shouldn’t have much of a smell, if you are concerned there is, it might be bacterial vaginosis (bv) which can be caused by using perfumed products around your vagina amongst other things. I have also had it when I’ve had a period too because it’s affected the ph balance. I’ve used pessaries in the past which have helped bring it back to normal. It is best to use a ph balanced wash too. I am not a doctor though. If you are worried there is a smell, then you can seek support / treatment from a sexual health service.
Everyone just shower’s before they do that no biggie.
I think you should get a mirror and start examining and exploring yourself. Maybe look on one of the many websites with real peoples vaginas..
If you’ve showered today you’re going to smell natural. Maybe a bit musky later on in the day, but I find it a pleasant smell myself.
Guys who wig over it, don’t know what they are missing.
Get a mirror and give yourself a good look. Play with yourself and enjoy it. Find the touch you like and ways that make you feel good. And don’t be afraid to give him some direction on what feels good while he is down there.
And as you’re playing with yourself definitely bring your fingers to your mouth and taste yourself— he’s going to want to kiss you after and you should know what to expect.
I’ve never met a woman yet that did not enjoy it. The scent of a woman can be intoxicating, and guys that are disgusted…….. well, they just don’t get it.
I heard to drink pineapple juice it helps the smell. Ive worried about it.
In my experience as a man, this is something women seem way more self-conscious about than is necessary. Nature designed that scent to be a turn on. I’ve rarely found that odor down there is problem for women. Having lived in dormitories, apartments and barracks with other guys however, I can tell you it’s the dudes who should be more self-conscious about their crotch hygiene.
I think a lot of women don’t enjoy being orally pleasured because they are so unnecessarily worried about this, which is unfortunate because I, for one, really love doing it and it really turns me on.
Relax, enjoy.
Have a feel and a smell if you’re worried.
I’ve only been aware of one woman who had a nasty smell in my 35 years of sexual activity.
Also I’ve never been put off by how it looks, or how hairy. As long as it’s clean.
Use an intimate hygiene product for women out there.
If it smells fishy, that means its not clean. Ive only ever been with 1 girl who ever had a nasty odor.
If you mean your skin is a bit darker around the labia, thats also not an issue for 99% of men. Its very common. Some very immature and inexperienced men think it means something it does not mean, but the rest of us know they come in all shapes and variations, and we like them all just the same. From the “barbie boxes” to the “Arby’s classic roast beefs” – theyre all amazing and fun.
Have a normal basic talk what is important for you and if your partner respects you, it is not a problem for him to refresh himself or smth
Shower touch yourself and then smell it I guess shouldn’t smell fishy if you wash it and eat and drink healthy also make sure to wash if you use the bathroom..
I prefer my girl to shower then we do it when I want to do oral, I promise he’ll be so infatuated with your body he’s not thinking about the color of your skin or vagina, just eat clean and stay hydrated until then and you’ll be fine and you’ll love it
Every women is different. Some are a pleasure and some are a challenge.
