Question Posted Wednesday December 31 2008, 3:27 am
well i'm 15/f and i've been wondering for the longest why does my *ahem* give off a smell. it's not a BAD BAD smell it just confuses me because I do take baths and I make sure I was . you know down there with soap and warm water? you know but I can still smell it. i'm a virgin because not only am I afraid to show my full nakedness to another guy because I don't really like that I have big thighs . (i'm african american by the way) i'm not fat or anything I have stress marks on my thighs and it seems very unattractive. that's besides the problem though . i'm just afraid to have sex when a guy because of the smell .
so what could be the problem? & how can I fix it? will the smell every go away?!? if not i'm goin to be a virgin my whole life :-( ughhhh !
I wanna do it sooooooooooooooooo badly . (hehehe ^_^)

A night, sleep naked. & let it breathe, I know it sounds dumb, but my doctor has told me to do it & for me it worked. Don't worry, it'll go away.

You are going to catch whiffs of it sometimes. It can't be helped. It's there and it's a part of the normal, healthy functioning of the human body.
Products that claim to stop it don't work very well, and they interfere with the normal healthy functioning and can cause all sort of infections and problems. So stay away from them.
If the smell really bothers you, there are a few things you can do that might help:
One: See a doctor. It's possible you have an infection or something in the balance is off that is making the smell worse then it ought to be. Only a doctor can tell you if you do.
Two: Re-evaluate your underwear. Underwear that is made of lots of synthetics and is very tight, rides up a lot, and especially thongs, don't let the vagina breathe and make the smell worse.
Three: Don't wear underwear or tight bottoms to bed. If you must, at least wear cotton granny panties so your vagina can get some air. If you keep your vagina wrapped up all the time like old clothes in a gym bag, it'll start to smell just the same.
Oh - and guys know about the smell. The make stupid jokes about it all the time. They do that because pretty much every woman has an odor. If you are otherwise healthy and a guy gives you any shit about it, kick him to curb and let him get his tail someplace else, because he clearly isn't mature enough or educated enough to sleeping with you.
