This was on [Link](Mouse over link to see full location):
"If one partner has a yeast infection, the other partner should also be treated for it. A man is less likely than a woman to be aware of having a yeast infection because he may not have any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include a moist, white, scaling rash on the penis, and itchiness or redness under the foreskin. As with females, lowered immunity, rather than sexual transmission, is the most frequent cause of genital yeast infections in males."
This other site, said: "The 'infection' is an overgrowth of monilia (yeast) naturally found in the vagina." I have heard before that yeast infections are caused by something that is already in the vagina. It does not, as the person above said, float in off the air. While it is more likely to get a yeast infection due to other things, it IS possible for it to be sexually transmitted. It is also possible to catch it in your month from oral sex, although it is more likely that it would be caused by other things.
A yeast infection in your mouth is called Oral Thrush. The symptoms are:
"A sore mouth and throat, and as well as redness, it is characterized by white discharge on the surface."
I can see how a guy could be sensitive about his penis smelling bad. You might want to suggest taking a shower to together as forplay as soaping his penis in a sexual way. If that doesn't help I would suggest talking about it with him when you are NOT in the middle of sex. He might be more ok with hearing "I noticed your penis smelled a bit odd. I am worried you might have something. Maybe you should get it checked out." Be sure to say things like that he is good at sex and this isn't his fault. Guys (and girls also) can be sensitive about their sexual performance, so it is best to step lightly, but communicate openly. I hope you two work it out!

From my own personal experience, I know that yeast infections can be bothersome, and if I were you, I would not give your boyfriend oral sex, or any other kind of sex, until he get's check for an STD.
A man's penis is not suppose to smell the way you say your boyfriend's smells.
He needs to know because he could be spreading something, and if he gets embarrased or offended.....that's his problem and if he truly loves you, he will get his self checked

Men don't usually get yeast infections on their penis unless there is another health problem involved. He won't "catch" it from you. Yeast is just something in the air, and only becomes an infection if the conditions are right. (There is another question about yeast in my column about 3 or 4 questions down with more information.)
It is also very unlikely that you would get a yeast infection in your mouth for the same reasons. There has to be something else going on in your body for that to happen.
He may just not be clean and smell, but actually, men just smell, even when they are just out of a shower. I am sure women do to.
Don't give him oral sex if you don't want to. It is not something girls just love to do (in spite of guy's fantasies.) Usually there has to be a good reason to do it.

Trust me, you don't want to give him oral right now. Make him go to a doctor.

Most of the time the male usually only carried it but he can have it. But I do beleive the smell may be it.
If you really care about him I suggest you tell him about the smell and take him to go see a doctor. If you dont then he'll keep wondering why you wont give him oral and then if you do you'll end up getting the yeast infection in your mouth and that is not very pleasent.
So go see a doctor and then he can get treatment. Then you can go back to your love life.
