Girlfriend’s ‘cat’ smells
Context
My (20m) girlfriend’s (20f) ‘cat’ often smells bad during s-, and it’s been like this for about as long as I’ve known her (around a year).
I’m not sure if it’s just her natural scent, but the smell is sometimes very strong (I can smell it when my face is a few feet above her ‘cat’) and it turns me off.
I often can’t push myself to give her mouth action because of it, and positions where my head is above her neither region can be unpleasant (e.g. entering the ‘cat’ from the back).
I’ve been with one other girl, and her ‘cat’ smelled incredible to me, so it’s not like I just have some aversion to ‘cats’.
I’ve tried to gently mention this to her, and that she should maybe go to a doctor, but she’s never been to a gynecologist and she’s super scared of going.
Is this probably bacterial vaginosis, or could she just have a bad scent?
Any suggestions on how I can nicely push her to getting it checked out by a professional?
Here are what netizens think
- It’s important to approach this situation with sensitivity and understanding. You might consider having a gentle and open conversation with your girlfriend about your concerns, emphasizing that you care about her well-being and want her to feel comfortable.
You could suggest that she visit a healthcare professional, not only to address the odor but also to establish a routine of regular checkups for overall reproductive health. It’s important to remind her that visiting a gynecologist is a normal part of maintaining one’s health, and there’s nothing to be scared of.
If she’s still reluctant to visit a doctor, you could offer to accompany her for support or help her find a doctor she feels comfortable with. Remember, it’s crucial to be patient and understanding throughout the conversation, as this is a sensitive topic. Good luck! - I am a man who likes men so take this with a grain of salt, I’ve had at least a dozen women in my lifetime state emphatically that a ‘cat’ shouldn’t smell nasty and that some women don’t know they have issues down there.
But they aren’t supposed to stink. I do know that. She has something bacterial going on down there.
