Do people believe vaginas are supposed to stink?

---

I was doing a search online about why people like to eat cum and I can across a website that had a thread on the subject 'why straight guys hate eating pussy'. One of the reason some posters mention was because vaginas smell like fish. If the girl is clean and healthy it shouldn't smell like fish, or cheese as another poster said. Do guys really think that vaginas are supposed to smell bad? Mine doesn't smell like fish or cheese and if it did I wouldn't be letting anyone near it. What kind of guy has sex with a stinking woman? How desperate can you be?? Do they just think it's supposed to smell and don't know any better? I had a roommate in college who I never saw leaving to take a shower and she always stunk up the room. She was a pretty girl, dressed cute, but she smelled. Does odor matter that much to guys, or it is just guys that will hit anything?Also would the vagina odor myth be gay guys who are repulsed by vaginas anyway? I remember reading a post a while back by a gay guy that said he hated the smell of vaginas, it made him sick.

That's what happened to me 2nd year into high schoool. I was with a girl and I ha just got through fingering her (at this point I had never went down on a girl) so I sniffed my fingers. The smell was horrible so I thought of an excuse and left ASAP. The girl made me out to be a dick to the rest of the school but I just didnt have the heart to slander her name like she did mine.

...but you don't believe all vaginas stink, do you?

Well, consider this.. The vagina is a moist area that is closed off between the legs and clothing. It will tend to have a musky smell after a while. I don't know about the fish smell, thats a bit extreme unless there is problem down there... I can't say that the scent down there is my favorite, but I can pass on it unless it's recently washed.

I guess it can smell a bit musky, but I pits have smelled way worst. I can honestly sat my vagina only smells gross when I'm on my period and that's because I sometimes forget to change my pad quickly. Even when I do it just smells weird, completely unlike me. No one would be going down their at that time of the month anyway. My normal non period vagina doesn't stink to me.I hate being a girl sometimes when people think all women have dirty or foul smelling vaginas all the time.

Sorry bout the late reply and...of course not!, I wouuldn't be able to stomach being with a girl if that was the case, I will admit I wasn't with a girl for the next few months but, eventually my biological urges won out and I gave it another go. The experience was extremely better and I learned a valuable lesson bout the value of hygiene.

That was high school so I guess some kids are still figuring out their bodies. I'd expect much better from an adult.I'm glad your second experience turned out better.

Hi Tangled,Very interesting topic! All the guys I know don't have a problem with going down on a girl so to speak and neither do I. So I think it is just a hygene issue. I must admit the first time I fingered a girl was very similar to what the other guy said, and when I smelt my finger it smelt very odd. I was going to go down then I avoided it, half to do with the smell, half to do with nerves. I guess it does smell odd to guys the first time. Now I'm more experienced and I really enjoy everything about giving oral, for me thats the best bit of foreplay.Though back on the stinky topic, there was one time where I was with a partner and went down on her, however it smelt like peperoni! :S Odd i know! Put it this way, I almost threw up, then for months I couldn't go near pizza's with it on without gagging. I think I did actually throw up the next time I had pizza :S. However all the other times I gave oral it didn't smell so I guess it does change. Not always just down to hygene but also whats happening in the body at that time. Also they say with guys if they eat more fruit their cum tastes sweeter whereas more junk food it tastes saltier, so could also be dietry. Hawk

Eewwww...pepperoni is good, but I wouldn't want mine to smell like any kind of food. I don't know about how I taste, no ones has went down on me. I haven't noticed a change in the smell of mine due to my diet change, but it only changes when it's that time of the month. I may just switch to tampons one day. Pads are what make the odor, for me.Oh! Have you ever seen that episode of MadTV where the guy can control what his farts smell like? He would just think of the object and then BAM! His fart could smell whatever he had chosen.

I only rly smelled my gf's 1 time. I like it. Id be like hell no if it smelled bad

I would as well. I think guys don't know that a healthy/clean woman's vagina is going to smell. If it does I wish women (well people in general) would be more aware of their body odor. I'd know if my vagina smelled and a guy wouldn't get near it.

I don't think a slight smell would be such a huge problem you can still simply spray some body spray on it.

Trust me, body spray doesn't always cover up body odor. People still stink and they smell worst after (stink mixed with perfume/body spray/cologne is the worst). I would be turned off, to get close to someone and they've sprayed on so much just to cover up a foul smell, plus so one's natural smell is roses or ocean like all the crap they put on to cover up the fact they have poor hygiene (or bad taste, by over doing the body spray).

The smell was horrible so I thought of an excuse and left ASAP. The girl made me out to be a dick to the rest of the school but I just didnt have the heart to slander her name like she did mine. ____________________________________wow gold|diablo 3 gold|Swtor Credits|GW2 Gold

Having gone down on several myself, I can say this about my experience. EVERY girl is different. Personal Hygiene certainly plays a part, but not always. I've had girls that had terrific hygiene habits and still stink and others that had iffy hygiene and didn't smell. I think body chemistry also plays a large part as well. One girl had a very acidic taste while another was very smooth and sweet tasting. Going down on a girl is very subjective, but 99% of the time it'll win big points for a guy if he's good at it. If he knows where to focus and how much pressure to use and what parts to concentrate on he'll drive the girl straight to an amazing orgasm. But it takes practice!
