Q: Bad smell during sex ???

I'm having a bad problem with a strong fishy smell during sex with my boyfriend. Sometimes its so bad that it turns us both off afterwards. Plus its VERY embarrassing! Sometimes it doesn't smell... sometimes its horrible... and other times you can still smell it but its not to bad. Recently I had my yearly check up with my Gyno... everything came back NORMAL! I got the works too... I got them to test me for all STD's and HIV. I also called my gyno the other day to ask her about this. I talked to her nurse and not her. She said it could be bacteria from his penis making the smell and for both of us to use antibacteral soap... or it could be just our smells mixing together(pheramones?) <--spell check*. So we both used the antibacteral soap... but it still had that smell but not to bad( It was also at the time when my period would be starting if I had it every month but because of endometriosis I only have 4 or 5 periods a year)
Could it have something to do with not having a period every month? What can I do to make this stop? Please help me figure out what is causing this.

BTW I havent had this problem with other partners that ive had before my current boyfriend.

Bacterial vagonisis could be the cause. It usually is with 'fishy odors'. Some infections like yeast infection, can occur after your period, as your vaginal pH is different. Try using feminine cleaning products like pHresh or summer's eve.

If your boyfriend is uncircumsed, it may be balanitis its an infection of the penile head. Which can be caused by soaps or poor hygiene.

Definately try using summer's eve or rephresh, but if its only happened with this boyfriend, he may be the one who needs to get checked out.

Thanks ;-)
I'm actually going to see my Gyno this week. I called them again and told them the problem was still occuring... and actually a different nurse called me back and said something was def wrong... unlike the other nurse! Who said nothing was wrong!!! There is NO WAY this is right! Because it has never been like this before and actually hasn't always done it with this BF. I'm so confused abou the situation and want it fixed! Its messing up my sex life. Thank you for info Wink

I am wandering what the nurse told you because I have a similar situation with my current partner and it hasn't happened ever before. Also, the smell with me isn't fishy but strong enough where it turns us off.

it could be that your partner has more than one sex partner. different women have different smells. when your partner has to satisfy more than one women, then his hygene can take a turn. come on ladies if you did not have a problem before then you smell between the lines!!!

I now shave every day, but when I had pubic hair I found it trapped odor somewhat. Also, when you wipe with toilet paper sometimes the residue of the paper will stay on your skin and hold scent and moisture without you realizing it. Try shaving if you don't already, as well as using feminine cleansing wipes before sex. I am completely odorless now and my partner loves going down.
