Saw this post in the women’s sub and thought I’d ask it here. I had an ex that smelled “down there” and despite being medically OK, I just couldn’t tolerate the smell even though she showered often.
We didn’t break up over that, but I thought it was interesting that women had the same thought as well.

Is this a post about Australian air quality?
My crotch smells like irish spring and old spice.
Well its could be a few things.
If she smells funky its likely there is something off.
Or you just dont like how it smells.
I’m assuming you know which part youre smelling.
First woman I was with had a bad smell down there. Not having been with a woman before, I thought it was normal. Realized after being with others, it was likely not normal. That’s my only experience.
It can be either a flora imbalance, or some PH issue, assuming hygiene is adequate. Also… some people smell bad because they have poorly compatible immune systems with yours. That is some ancient evolutionary breeding sense we still have but dont understand.
There is science behind this, that we tend to choose a mate based on our bodily odour and genital odour. We are still animals and this is a subconscious process of finding someone who is compatible with us to mate.
Body odour does send a lot of information about that person, it sends information about their health, their genetic composition, their mood and in the case of women it does signal their level of fertility within the month.
It is very plausible to find someone that is 100% healthy, attractive, checks all the boxes for you, but their bodily smell just makes you kinda cringe, and that is your own body saying that “hey, yeah they check all the boxes, but genetically you aren’t a great match, maybe choose someone else”.
And this is further reinforced by studies on healthy, loving, long-term relationships where the partners state that they enjoy their significant others body smells.
TL;DR Body Smell and your reaction to it is a subconscious process of finding a mate genetically compatible with you. If you like the smell that is a Green Flag, if you don’t it is a Red Flag.
I had a fwb that was real sweet, but always smelled… off to me. Not just her genitals, but just her natural smell. Not inherently bad or gross, just not appealing to me. It was just her though. Even after she showered.
I did hook up with one girl once that was so rank down there I literally pulled over and puked on the way home. (It was my 20’s. There was a series of bad decisions at the time.)
