How do I tackle this one?

[DoubtfulDoris]

I've been seeing a guy since the start of the year around 3 times a week and things have been going well.
We slept together for the first time two weeks ago (most exciting Tuesday night that I have had in a while!) and it was lovely, all that chemistry finally released blah-de-blah.
I woke up in the morning a bit ermm.. Whiffy down there. Never mind, a shower will make it go.
It didnt. It took two days for the smell to go.
I put it behind me and we slept together again last night. I did some overtime at work today and I smelt the same whiff.
I know (hope) the smell will go after tomorrow, but still. Ew. This cannot continue.
His personal hygiene seems second to none (just how I like it wink) so what the hell is this and how can I approach him about it?
Is it his diet?
I can't tell him outright in a 'nice' way can I?
I really really like him :(

Has it been a while, chuck ?

The smell of used spunk is very individual from bloke to bloke depending on diet, snipped or not, health, just individual etc

I don't see what it is you could raise with him, tbh

Sounds like a little vaginal bacteriosis (VB); go to the chemist; buy a box of Active Gel (I think that's what it's called), it's a box with single dose applicators. The smell will go instantly.
Note: I am not a doctor!

I quite like that after sex smell myself.

How do you know it's his smell and not your own too?

If it's that smell it's the combination of his stuff and yours.

It's just a nice reminder of the lovely sex you've had

I've never experienced it before! So this is normal then?

You can't raise it with him!!

It's not him, per se, is it???

That's what sex smells like!

It's a unique combination of yours and his juices mixed together

I usually find that whilst the smell itself is not great really, I quite like it. It's like a link in the brain from the smell to the guy, if that makes any sense. Makes me feel a bit warm a fuzzy .

If it is really that bad, then yes, it's more likely to be you than him. Bacterial vaginosis is often symptomless until sex happens. Don't say anything!!! Just get the stuff and forget about it.

Sorry but it could be an STD...

My dh certainly has a stonget smell than any previous partners and I don't like it doesn't last a few days though!!

Ha, maybe he's marking his territory with his manly musk

ask him to wear a condom?

Why on earth isn't he wearing a condom?

Have you got any discomfort, itching or burning?

Some people's fluids don't mix very nicely, but not much you can do.

Try few fresh or something similar, or the VB treatment.

I wouldn't of thought an stil would smell straight away, would of thought it would take a day or so at least? But get yourselves both checked esp if you are not using condoms.

Does he taste funny? (Sorry tmi)

Give yourself a rinse off after sex with the shower hose and shower properly in the morning.

But maybe a condom would be better unless you've both been for a check up before ditching them.

Year ago I had a lovely BF but I was totally repelled by his spunk - I self diagnosed a kind of personal chemistry intolerance and eventually ended the relationship largely to do with this. His spunk anywhere near me made me quite ill, even with a condom, though the sex was otherwise quite fantastic!!

We are still friends years later though :)

Well, one does have to wonder why you are not using condoms

Have you both been STI checked ?

Thanks for the replies. Think I'm gonna visit the pharmacy tomorrow just to be sure but the reason I thought it was him is because it only happens after I have slept with him and sorry for TMI (bit late for that really!) but I've always been complimented on my nice err. natural smell!?
That's sort of the reason why it took longer than we both would have liked to actually do the deed, we got tested before.

It does sound like this is a quite normal after sex smell, quite unique to you both. I guess you will either have to get to accept/tolerate it or decide to split if it is so horrible. From my understanding, the VB that others are referring to creates a sort of fishy smell and I would presume it would be there all the time not just after sex. I guess it's the pheromones.

Please use a condom! Just saying. Mind yourself.

If it is BV you can get Balance Activ from chemists or even in the medicines aisle in Asda. You can also get it on prescription. For more persistent bouts, you will need metronidazole antibiotics.

Try taking acidophilus tablets too - I've even resorted to putting the contents in bio yogurt for internal use!

No itching or burning, it is literally just the smell :( maybe our juices are not compatible :D

"I've even resorted to putting the contents in bio yogurt for internal use!"

I prefer the peach melba myself.

Funnily enough the same thing happened to me after sleeping with DH again after being split for 6 months. He even commented on the smell. It only happened a few times then stopped. I had forgotten about it until I read this thread.

Unprotected sex ftw.

Not.
