something's fishy
I have been going out with my current girlfriend for a few months, and we have engaged in sex many times. She has also given me oral sex quite a few times. I would like to pleasure her back with oral sex as well. However, I have noticed that her vagina has a certain "fishy" smell. I have discreetly asked if she washes it and she says she does, but still she emits this smell. How could I tell her without hurting her feelings, and how can we correct this problem?

Hello John,
First you need to establish that this odor is an unusual one. Is the smell strong relative to other woman that you have been with? Perhaps your current girlfriend is your first sexual partner, and you weren't prepared to smell anything down there at all. If this is indeed the case, then know that it's normal for most women to emit an odor from their vulva, albeit not a fishy one.
Even if your girl's odor is a little stronger than most, it may be a simple hygiene issue. This is easily resolved by washing regularly, controlling perspiration and wearing cotton panties. It might even be due to an overabundance of garlic in her diet. lol
However, let's not dismiss the real possibility that what you're detecting is indicative of something abnormal. A fishy smell is sometimes symptomatic of anaerobic vaginosis , an imbalance in bacteria in the vagina. While this condition is treatable with an antibiotic, be warned that similar odors can be signs of sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia and human papillomavirus (HPV). -EV
The best way to bring this up with her is delicately. Women are typically more sensitive to their own vulvic aromas, so if you can smell it, she definitely can. Raising the topic in a general tone might suffice to prompt her to seek your advice on the subject -- although I realize that casually inserting the topic of genital odors into a conversation is easier said than done.
