Brace yourselves. New fears will be unlocked, chuckles will be had, and hopefully, less judgment will be given. Sex is one of the most intriguing yet uncomfortable topics. These topics are hidden behind an army of social norms, stigma, religious views, inherited beliefs, lack of information, and education.
There are two things I want to spotlight before you slide through these responses. You’ll see that there are a decent number of responses where a man mentions a woman’s odor down there. I don’t expect men to know a woman’s anatomy or the causation of our bodily functions, so I won’t judge them for not having that information. Instead, I’d like to educate them.
There are many factors that can affect the way our bestie downstairs smells. It can change based on what we eat, drink, what clothes/fabric we wear, if we’re stressed, our level of hygiene, how much we sweat, our normal bacteria, if we’re menstruating, if we’re having sex, and if we’re having sex with a new partner.
Yup, sex with a new partner who has different bacteria can disrupt our normal balance of microorganisms, causing Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). I’m not saying this is always the case, but if you’re wanting to learn more or how to tell the girl you’re dating that her bestie downstairs has a strange odor, read this article. Forty women share how they would want this information delivered.
The second spotlight is around anal. (What a weird thing to type 😅). I was laughing at the number of men who were surprised and disgusted by, for lack of a better word… mudslides. You’re literally putting your pal up a butt… and you’re shocked…?! 😂😭! Silly boys.
Anyway, that’s enough from me. I’d really like to stick to being the middle person again. Whoa… not like THAT! Tsk tsk, naughty naughty.
