Every time my husband and I have sex and he ejaculates in me I smell for 3 days....Its not a good smell. Does anyone else have this...Its really cutting into how often I want to do it and me letting him please me orally.
My GYN suggested dushing but I'm afraid of getting a yest infection or worse...(GYN says don't worry about, but is a man and has no idea what "fire crotch" really means)
I also hate the feel of rubbers and am fixed with no STD. It started smelling after sex after my last child was born.
Are you the only one who can smell this, or can your husband smell it too?
If he ejaculates 'outside', does it still smell (i.e., is it his semen that is smelling)?
One thing that I do know is that our (women's) sense of smell can be impacted by things like hormones - which is sometimes why pregnant women or menopausal women often smell things differently.
I have noticed that in myself as I am getting closer to menopause. Certain things smell really strongly or weird now that didn't before - but I haven't had it happen with ejaculate.
I do have a bionic nose sense having kids....Maybe I'm just extra sensitive. I know my husband said he smells something but it does not seem to bother him in the least (I think to him its just the smell of sex). If he does not do it in me there is no smell...so I'm sure its the mix of us. I do not normally have a "smell". I don't recall this before having kids.
Also, his Ejaculate taste is bad. It always has...I rarely do BJ's for him...not because I'm lazy but because he that tastes bad to me. Smells like bleach and the taste makes me gag. I really want to be free with enjoying all of him (and him me) but these issues are real bothersome to me.
( I have been with men before him and not been bothered with any of this)
This only happens to me if we have a LOT of sex, like every day or more. It usually clears up after we go a couple days without.
The pH of your nether regions could be out of whack. It's supposed to be something like 4.5 and semen is much higher, so is menstrual blood. Don't douche - that can make it worse. I suggest eating yogurt, not using tampons during your period (use pads) and using just water to wash. Some women apply yogurt in there - I'm not convinced that's a good idea, although I can see the theory behind it.
I would also suggest that your hubby change his diet and/or go to a dr. about the odor and taste of his semen. It shouldn't smell like bleach!!
I heard if he eats pineapples it helps....we have tried that...haha a can a day didn't seem to change his flavor. It takes a few days to clear the odor from me after intercourse also. I eat yogurt regularly already and do not douche...I do a quick finger clean in the shower the morning after trying to clear any stuff. I could be at the gym working out and when I get all warmed up the smell just makes me so embarrassed...even if no one else can smell it...I can.
I wonder how a DR. would react in an office visit with that symptom. hah. My PH is fine...when his PH is not in there...I don't get Yest infections often...very rarely in fact.
That's so odd--especially after 3 whole days. I have had that problem the morning after, but never for longer than that. Maybe if you took a shower right before sex and scrubbed down the old cooch, you'd feel more confident and uninhibited?
You could look into trying some form of hormonal birth control, just long enough to see if it changes what you are noticing. At least then you'd know it was hormonal and perhaps you and your doctor could figure out a way to balance things w/o necessarily having to stay on the pill. Or try a different type of b.c. pill if you already use the pill.
My guess is that your hormones are changing as you get older (not old, just older!) and the fact that it started after your last baby makes that more likely--your body "bounced back" a bit differently, and so your "stuff" and his "stuff" are creating a new combination you find unpleasant.
I have some suggestions that you may want to look into. Try using using homeopathic vaginal tabs. One is VH essentials use a half tab the day before sex and a few days after. It has boric acid to keep the pH low in the vagina.
Also get some oral tablets with lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. It keeps you colonized with bacteria that prevent the establishment of yest and may prevent bacterial vaginosis.
* these are just suggestions I am not practicing medicine so please look into these suggestions and proceed at your own risk.
Have you been tested for bacterial vaginosis? It's a possibility.
And just from my experience.....with my last husband I had the same issue....I would smell awful after sex....sometimes for days! And his semen tasted bad to me.
The man I am with now....no problems. I might smell like sex till I shower (big surprise! lol) but thats it....and I have no problems with his taste!
Probably more his problem then yours....just my guess....but you get to deal with it. :\ Frustrating!

I have been tested many times....with no results. I'm not willing to go on BC sense I am fixed and the last time I took it to help with a Cyst I didn't have...I went nuts'o. If I was that good at guessing when we were going to have sex I might try the tablets...but who knows a day in advance?? not me with 3 kids running around. hah. I was thinking it might be his problem and not mine...It dawned on me that we stopped using rubbers completely after the last child...so maybe I'm only noticing it more because its always in me now. I often laughed and said I was allergic to his semen and that is why I stunk after...then I watched a special where this woman REALLY was allergic and they could not conceive. So it is possible that our chemicals are not compatible 100% I could scrub and scrub...unless I douche its just not good. Thanks for all your advice!
Whatever you do don’t let go of trying to solve this until you discover what’s what.
My wife had an odour that her doc said was a woman’s natural odour. I knew it wasn’t. To cut a long story short my wife had kept her coil in for over twenty years. After I finally got her to get her doc to do an internal it was very infected and after scans it was discovered the infection had gone up into her womb. It needed a hysterectomy to clear things up.
Odours are there for a reason and you are doing exactly the right thing trying to discover its’ source. Knowing what I know about doctors I strongly recommend that you go for a second opinion.
