I have kind of an embrassing question... My girlfrirnd is on birth control so we have alot of unprotected sex. Probably atleast 3 to 5 times a day. I always cum inside of her since she can't get pregnant while she is on the birth control. The birth control is new to her, she has only been on it about 2mo. My friend said if you cum inside to much, my sperm may be making her smell bad down there. That is my question, I have been dating and having sex with her for a little over 4mo now. Why all the sudden does her vagina have such an unplesant oder?? It was the most plesant thing ever until about a week or two ago. I am at a loss as to how to fix that, but it will put a damper on our sex life if it doesn't get fixed. I love her very much, and don't wanna say anything until I have some sort of possible fix or a way to help her. Cause that is the next huge problem, how does a guy tell his possibly future wife that her pussy smells and it really bothers you durring sex. Id guess she would be able to smell it also, but I really don't think she can tell. Is it poddible the smell is due to an STD like herpes, or worse?? Maybe it's just a yeast infection that needs attention..?? I have brought it up to a couple close friends and I was advised to tell her because more than likely her PH is messed up..?? I dont know the first thing about how alot of the female parts work, just what they look, and feel like. Lol... So can anybody say wether it is because of the ammount of my sperm going in, or is it something like her PH being off like another female said it could be?? I was also told by the same female that just a single shot of apple cider vinager every morning would put her PH, and the smells back where they belong!! Hopefully my question(s) arent offensive to anyone... I know it has been kinda weird even asking this type of question online for me. It is a very serious matter to me though... Any advise would be Awesome!!

A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (2 December 2015):

chigirl agony auntProbably a yeast infection, or something she ate. Not an STI, they don't smell. Or you caught her at a bad time. The smell does change when you're with a new partner, but it changes quickly, so you'd have noticed that by now if that was it. So Im betting it's passing. It could be her time of the month, or it could be she hasn't gotten around to cleaning up the last times when you noticed the smell. A crotch will start to smell after a long day in clothes and sweating. It happens to everyone. So maybe you were just "unlucky" or too eager to have sex, and the other times she had time to rinse up, but this last time didn't?

I say give it a week. If it hasn't improved naturally, then talk to her about it in a nice manner (not while you are naked in bed, but when sitting down and having a proper talk).

celtic_tiger agony auntI have to agree with Honeypie on this - there could be a huge number of reasons, all perfectly natural and normal.

Your question, does however bring up some questions about your maturity to sex. The fact that you appear to think this is only your GF's issue, and seem more concerned with your own enjoyment of sex, not her health.

Lets talk about the sex. 3-5 times a day is going to make any woman's vagina sore, dry and irritated. All that lubrication, hers and your sperm, plus the friction, will all help to create a pretty bad environment which could lead to all sorts of UTI's, irritations or infections.

The vagina is not just a receptical for your sperm - think about that for a bit.

How long has she been sexually active? Are you her first sexual partner? Again, too much sex to a vagina unused to such regular use could be to blame here.

If she is new to contraceptive pills, then really, you should still be using condoms. As any woman who has been on the pill will tell you, it is NOT always plain sailing, and to find the right pill for you first time is lucky. For many women it can take 3,4, 5 or more different brands before you find one that suits your body and your hormones. Some give terrible side effects, some make you moody, some make you cry, some make you bleed between periods and cause bloating. I had one that made me suicidal.

The pill is not some magic cure all - you still have to be careful and responsible. It CAN fail. If she forgets to take it, or is sick, or takes other medication.... all things that can stop the pill from working properly.

Safest thing is to use the pill AND a condom.

As for the STD issue, have you had previous partners? IF so, have you had an STD check? YOU, yes YOU could have picked something up, and given it to your GF without knowing. Your love of condom free sex is a dangerous game, always good to have a check before having unprotected sex with a new partner. The pill may stop pregnancies most of the time, but it does not stop disease.

Your GF needs to have a doctors check up, just to make sure she is ok.

I also think you need to cut back on the sex for a bit. It might be her body just needs a rest.

A female reader, Honeypie United States +, writes (29 November 2015):

Honeypie agony auntSperm can alter a vagina's odor because it offsets the Ph balance within. So yes it CAN be all your sperm that is making it smell. She can also have a uti or yeast infection both can be due to YOUR sperm. And again unbalanced Ph can result in infections such as bacterial vaginosis or thrush, which can cause symptoms including itching, irritation and abnormal discharge. Bacteria called lactobacilli help to keep the vagina’s pH balance at its normal low level (less than pH 4.5), which also prevents the growth of other organisms. If the pH of the vagina increases (in other words, if it gets less acidic), the quality or amount of lactobacilli can fall and other bacteria can multiply.

You GF should NOT do a apple cider douche - she should go see her GYN. She also ought to wash directly after sex (no soap) to get rid of the sperm. It is SO much easier if you would JUST use a condom.

And YOU should use condoms till it sorted out.

Vaginal odour can change at different times of the reproductive cycle and shouldn’t always be thought of as being a sign of infection or illness. So it can also be the new birth control and change in her hormonal levels.

If nature had intended the vagina to smell like roses or lavender, it would have made the vagina smell like roses or lavender.

You're going to be lucky she stays with you, discussing her body to other people! If you can't approach her about something ad instead go to friends, you don't sound that mature or really serious about this relationship.

You've asked a female friend...did you not think how upset, embarrassed and distraught your gf will be if she ever finds out you did this?! Serious life lesson here; don't ever talk about your gf to other women ESPECIALLY regarding her body and intimate parts.

Just ask your gf of things are ok, as you've noticed she smells different. She might need to go to the doctor. Did you have an std check before stopping using protection with her - as it may be you passed something on if you didn't get checked out.

It could be caused by too much sex and she has an infection. If you love her, you will need to speak to her. It can be fixed quickly with medicine. You need to sort out these things quickly before they get worst. Some infections can cause infertility.

She also needs to wash herself thoroughly after having sex in order to keep clean.
