I don’t want to sleep with my fiancee anymore – I hate the smell of her private parts.
I’ve (M32) been with my fiancée for 5 years. She’s smart, curious, confident. I’m stillattracted to her beyond the ups and downs of our journey.
In the past year, since we’ve moved in together, my libido has crashed to an all time low because she smells so bad down there.
Sometimes it smells like onions and others it smells like bad fish. For years I’ve just dealt with it but I hate it. As soon as I get a whiff, I lose my hardness and struggle to get it back because I hate the smell.
A few months ago I tried hinting the awful smell to her by putting my fingers on her face after fingering her and she didn’t react. I don’t think she could smell it.
I got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore and told her about it by politely suggesting she jump in the shower before we get intimate because I couldn’t get in the mood.
I embarrassed my baby and she was paranoid for weeks. She didn’t want to sleep with me anymore either as she very self-conscious. I felt so bad.
We’ve gotten back in the swing of things and I just forcefully put up with the smell because I love her so much.
I hate sleeping with her and have started taking ED pills to get hard so I can pleasure her.
I know she’s healthy and visits the gyno regularly.
Any advice folks…

- It’s just an imbalance/overgrowth of bacteria. The smell can worsen during intercourse. You can bring it up to her in a way that focuses on her health and your concern, and less about the fact it’s unpleasant, to ease the topic.
Also diet plays a huge role in scent and taste. Whole foods, plenty of water, no soda or excess sugar… And as another person said, semen can definitely throw off pH balance and cause changes in smell. - You’ve been together 5 years. It’s time to have a real discussion about this.
Let her know that you love her but you’ve noticed a smell from her and you think maybe she should have it checked out at the gyno. Tell her you still love her and find her very attractive. And sometimes these things happen. It’s not a big deal and it doesn’t change anything about the relationship. But the smell is fairly strong and you think it’s a good idea to get it checked. For her health.
Her feelings will be very hurt. But imagine how she’d feel if she found out you’d been feeling this way for years and never told her. Relationships require hard conversations sometimes.
