As I've noted before: If vagina was on the menu at a deli it probably wouldn't be a top seller. But because it is not a sandwich, but rather a woman's sacred skin sanctuary (FG™), it must always be viewed and appreciated in that context.
Your vagina smells like crap to you because it holds no extended meaning. You're smelling it, and comparing it to, say, tulips or a scratch and sniff strawberry sticker. You're thinking, "Hm, fishy, sour, salty, organic tang, this isn't so hot. Someone pass me the Febreeze, please."
But your man takes one whiff of you and pops a circuit. When his nose inhales even the faintest scent of your crotch it transcends into the world of erotic for him. It's part Pavlovian response, part biological reaction and part good old fashioned kink at work.
If I'm not mistaken, soldiers, in centuries past, would go off into battle with a pair of their lady's underwear among their meager belongings. No, not on them, but stashed away next to their love letters and... iPod minis. They did this so that in their darkest moments of despair they cold sniff their women's vag soiled undies and perk up. It served to reinvigorate them. Sort like an emotional asthma inhaler.
Remember, smell, of all the senses, is considered the most powerful and alluring. It circumvents the mind and goes straight to the heart...and crotch in this instance. I wouldn't worry about why your man (or most men) are hounds for a lady's scent, I'd just be happy that nature's odor does the trick.
Maybe there's something wrong? I mean vaginas aren't meant to smell terrible (they don't smell of roses but then neither does steak. And steak smells delicious) It could be that your PH balance is slightly off or something, but I'm no expert, maybe you could talk to your doctor?
Changing your diet could also change the smell/taste of it, so you could experiment with that, unless it's just the smell of vaginas in general that you don't like, in which case you're lucky your boyfriend does!
Or it could just be a normal vaginal odor which she happens to not like the smell of...
I did say 'unless it's just the smell of vaginas in general that you don't like'. If she thinks it smells bad then it may be worth say cutting caffeine or something out of her diet and seeing if she likes it any better. And if it smells fishy or yeasty then there may well be something off.
Ah, and how exactly does she determine if she dislikes the smell of vaginas in general?
Terry, I think the fact that she clearly states her bf LOVES the smell of her vagina, means that it probably just smells... like a vagina!
;)
As long as it doesn't just straight up stink and have, you know, cottage cheese falling out of it...
You're probably okay.
Hey OP. My advice is not to waste another second worrying about this. It's totally normal in every way. It's the kind of base, (in a good way) instinctive reaction that you want from your man. It means he's attracted to you and that you're healthy.
:)
OP, I wouldn't worry about it. If your boyfriend enjoys it, odds are everything's just fine. Of course, if your vagina itches or you have a weird discharge, you should go see the GYN, but then you would probably smell and taste terrible to your boyfriend as well.
Are guys turned off by (healthy) discharge in a woman's panties?
not really, unless it's dosed like the cream cheese that they throw in with certain varieties of crisps. :-D
