So, I gave birth to my son 18 months ago - he's our second child (we have a daughter 2 years older). My husband does a very physical job (he's a personal trainer) and one time a while ago, he had to rush home from work and he was kind of slick with sweat (I was about 4 months pregnant with my daughter at the time) and I found his scent incredibly attractive - I can't explain it - he just smelled amazing to me. So I told him and we had sex, blah blah.
Anyway, this went on throughout that period - like, I wanted him home without showering.
I need to clarify - I'm talking about how he smelled when he was sweaty, not old BO sweat. He's really hygienic and clean, I mean when he'd been just working out or training - like fresh sweat, not like gross BO.
Anyway, this continued to be attractive to me for a while, well after my daughter's birth. My husband is incredibly turned on by the fact I like him this way.
So the problem is, suddenly, as I got to my 3rd trimester with my son, I began to find the scent I liked gross. Like, I was able to use pregnancy symptoms at the time to avoid sex. I was hoping it would disappear after my son's birth, but it hasn't left.
It has actually become a lot worse. I explained to him I don't like the sweat anymore, so he showers before he comes home. However, I've started to find that I seem to have this dislike of any scent from him.
This is very embarrassing for me to say, but suddenly - out of nowhere - I've started finding the scent of his semen really disgusting.
We've been together for a few years and it was never an issue at all. I just don't understand it.
I haven't said, obviously. I love him so much and I find him incredibly attractive physically
I just don't know what to do. I've been trying to hide it, but he's noticing during sex that I'm not so turned on and obviously I'm less willing to give him oral sex (I was enthusiastic about it before).
Has anyone experienced this??
