Question about oral sex and hygiene

86 replies

GoingThroughTheNameChange · 22/02/2009 14:07

I'm not a woman who "glows". I sweat. If I'm hot/anxious/angry/dashing about, my pits (and bits) sweat.

I don't think anyone would think me smelly or unhygienic. But I know if I feel a bit too hot and bothered downstairs to be comfortable about receiving any oral action. I'd say I would probably want to "freshen up" beforehand at least half the time.

Maybe because most women don't seem smelly (but then nor do I), I imagine that most women can tear around after their kids all day or get flustered commuting/working, and then happily enjoy oral sex later on, having bypassed the bathroom altogether. I don't think I could, and I'm wondering if that's odd.

So, gather round namechangers and tell me what's "normal".

BenFMsmum · 22/02/2009 17:27

Don't wipes make it taste a bit funny?? (can't quite believe I am asking this question!!)

twinsetandpearls · 22/02/2009 17:32

I wipe mine with a kipper.

veryembarrassedmummy · 22/02/2009 17:32

Wipes are very bad for you actually- despite what they say on the packet! I can see they have a place if you have a period and want to be a bit fresher if you are out all day or cannot get to a shower- but a bottle of water poured over yourself in the loo is just, if not, as effective.

I agree that these companies prey on women's "guilt" about how they should smell.

They don't make willy wipes, do they?[smile[

BenFMsmum · 22/02/2009 17:36

Haven't tried a kipper, sardines didn't go down well though, I think the tomato sauce was to blame....

twinsetandpearls · 22/02/2009 17:39

did you open the tin BenFMSmum, I find that helps too.

BenFMsmum · 22/02/2009 17:44

It's like, fresh sweat is (or can be) quite a turn on, old stale sweat less so (except to those with specialist preferences). Not keen on cheesy cocks myself, but even less keen on chemical-coated ones...

GoingThroughTheNameChange · 22/02/2009 19:53

I don't use wipes - I don't think they work. And I don't like overly scented stuff. And I would agree that a 'pleasantly aromatic' fanjo is the way to go, which is why - about half the time - I wouldn't wash beforehand. I like the whole natural whiff, not overly trimmed, etc, thing. BUT this brings things full-circle to why I asked my original question: I wonder if I sweat much more than your average woman/my sweat is unusually whiffy (I don't like how it smells!), and it is this self-consciousness that compels me to have a quick wash about half the time before fun and games kick off.

Natural secretions, generating a kind of musty scent, is normal and natural and I imagine a turn-on. That, I don't have a problem with. But lots of sweat, I do. And women grow up in a culture which asserts that they glow, rather than sweat - and I can tell you, I sweat. On and off throughout the day. And in the same way I wouldn't want to lick an armpit that's been sweating throughout the day, I wouldn't expect a bloke to go down on a fanjo that's been doing the same for about 15 hours.

So in principle, I agree, solidgold, veryembarrassed and Reality. However, I suspect there will be a normal distribution curve with this and I wonder if I'm at the sweat-a-lot-so-a-wash-is-necessary end. And Jerry Hall's obviously at the other!

Thanks for posting on this, by the way.

Being really practical here- if you wear 100%, or near enough, cotton knickers, and a panty liner perhaps and change it throughout the day, the sweat will be absorbed and not stay on YOU so much!
we all sweat there.

PussinJimmyChoos · 22/02/2009 20:00

I have a mini shower hose next to the loo - being Muslim means I need to wash with water every time I use the loo and I tell you what - its really good for keeping you fresh!

AnyFucker · 22/02/2009 20:01

so.......

what about those who like a bit of morning action

you or he wake up with the horn

do you spoil the mood by showering first???

I certainly don't

he takes me as he finds me

PussinJimmyChoos · 22/02/2009 20:04

yes but morning breath is gross....

candyfluff · 22/02/2009 20:06

pmsl at this thread -should be a classic

MuppetsMuggle · 22/02/2009 20:12

AF - totally agree with you about morning action - like this morning he takes me as he finds me!!!

veryembarrassedmummy · 22/02/2009 20:15

but you after a night's sleep, and presumably a shower/bath before bed, is not the same as you after a hard day is it?

cutekids · 22/02/2009 20:23

Noooooooooooooo!MUST be clean and fresh smelling...Couldn't THINK about it if not...for either of us....ERGH!

cutekids · 22/02/2009 20:25

If I fancy a bit of morning action,I "discreetly" go to loo,clean teeth and expect him to get up and do the same.Otherwise....no,no,no!!!

BitOfFuckingFun · 22/02/2009 20:31

I always have to get up for a wee first, AF - sex on a full bladder isn't nice! Then I might have a quick refresh with water, and get back into bed, bit of action, maybe a snooze . I have been known to start MNing on my phone shortly afterwards

MuppetsMuggle · 22/02/2009 20:33

on a friday my mum picks DD, sometimes after work we can get spontaneous and not wash or we would start with a bath or shower!

AnyFucker · 22/02/2009 20:36

yes, I know you have BitOFFuckingFun, you dirty mare

for those who "cannot face" any slightly grubby action

do you not realise, sex is slightly grubby and so it bloody well should be

AnyFucker · 22/02/2009 20:38
