    vaginal scent

    What do men think of the vulvar/vaginal scent? I have been convinced for years that I have some sort of infection because I have a scent, but after 3 tests I am forced to accept that I am "normal". (My gyn's words: "I wish I could explain to you how normal as normal could be you are.")

    However, I'm still worried. I have a serious boyfriend. I am a virgin and planning not to have sex until marriage but I'm still worried that men wouldn't like the smell. It isn't fishy. Just... sweaty? I don't know. I am just wondering if I really am normal. Hard to know when you have never had sex before... or smelled another woman's vagina! Lol.

    My boyfriend is not a virgin though, so would that effect what he thinks of my scent?

    Thanks for listening to my insecure rant!

    I have found that every woman has a different scent. Most are not unpleasant, just different. Some I have actually found quite overpowering in a good way. Not sure if that's the right way to say it tho. It was as if it were the most wonderful scent ever. I really can't describe the scent either, not sweet, musky or any particular kind of smell, just overwhelmingly attractive. I'm sure you will be just fine. Your bodies scents were meant to entice a man and not a woman, so don't worry too much.

      The scent(s) of a woman, from a man's perspective...is there really anything more amazing? Isn't that what draws us in, or at least keeps us there?

      My SO has asked me "Are you smelling me?" (guess I can be a bit loud with my inhale) and of course I answer yes!

      I find it to be rather intoxicating to be perfectly honest.

      Don't worry about it.

      If he is the man you think he is, it won't have any negative impact of any sort (at a minimum) and may just make him crazy over you.

      Relax!

        If you're concerned try drinking a lot of water, it will simply tone down the smell a bit, as you will be more hydrated, so it won't be as concentrated. Also, i found drinking green smoothies made my mad...i'm not sure how to put this....start up a frenzy down there?
        He said it was addictive and really sweet....
        So, try that too! Certain foods are said to make it taste better and what not so that probably goes with smells too.
        We're animals....we're not plants. We ain't supposed to smell like a rose...We're supposed to smell like a woman! It's like when a sweaty guy runs past...some smell gross others smell intoxicating, riddled with pheromones our natural smells can be very intoxicating.
        It's what it's meant to do.
        So, don't freak out. Yes you're normal. We all have a scent, all different, NONE smelling like a rose or vanilla or chocolate, but like a woman.

          i think , even the healthiest woman sometimes had a "bad vagina day "

          i've been with my girlfriend for 4 month now, and about two week ago, in the morning, i try to go down on her , to make her wet .... and her smell was not as good as before ... it's very bad ... it never been like that before ....

          so what i do is, i'm a bit breathing from my mouth while i'm doing it ...

          my point is...if your man really loves you ...he wouldn't care about any defect on you ...he will find any suitable solution for both of you for any problems that you guys encountered #communication

              There is a good chance you bf would find your scent intoxicating. There is also a good chance you are making a mountain out of a molehill.
              I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

              Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
