my um.. vagina.
hi! i am 16 years old and semi-sexually active.
i am going over my friend's house this weekend and i know we will be up to some things my mom would be ashamed of me for--but hey, i'm 16; it's what i am supposed to be doing. anyway, we've talked about what we will be doing becuase i want to make sure we're on the same page. i know he is going to go down on me, but i've never had that done before and i am afraid it smells funny. i know everyone thinks their own vagina smells funny, but i just don't want him to come up for air and have this dusgusted look on his face! i would be mortified! also, i have my period now, but it should be over by friday-- just in time! will it still smell all "period-y" when i show up on saturday? hmph. i'm a little nervous. any calming advice?

If you are washing yourself with a non-scented soap (like Johnson's Baby Soap) daily, then you should be fine. This does not mean shoving copious amounts of soap into your vagina, but gently washing the area surrounding it. This sort of basic hygiene will ensure you won't have any embarassing build-up of discharge, which can cause odours. (Dabs of a light perfume behind your knees can be nice, too.)
If your period is still trickling away on Friday, then yeah, it might still be period-y. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this - though I will say that contrary to popular belief, many people are perfectly okay with engaging in sexual actitivies during their (or their partner's) period. It really just comes down to what you both feel comfortable with.
Every woman's vagina isn't smell-free, however. But 'smells' aren't always bad things. Depending on your general health, your diet, and your unique body, your natural lubrication could be a range of flavours - from nothing, to 'rain', to something more sweet/flavourful. EVERY WOMAN experiences this, and a guy really needs to be okay with it.
But relax. It's not usually off-putting to guys at all, and many really enjoy smelling/tasting their partner's vagina. Basically, if you're both on the same page and excited, anything and everything will be perfectly fun/fine.
Remember to use basic safe sex precautions - if your friend has any cold sores, open cuts in his mouth, etc (or if you have had previous sexual experience with other people and are not sure of your STD status), it's worth using a dental dam. You can slice a condom in half and spread if over your vagina - looks funny, but can protect you both from the transmission of disease.
Basically, your first time receiving oral sex is likely to be awkward or strange feeling at points. Regarding smell/taste, you should be absolutely fine - and the fact that you can openly talk about your sexual plans/needs/expectations with your partner is a really good sign.
