I am married and my husband and I often engage in oral sex but lately he has had an odor?

Question

and I no longer feel comfortable having sex at all because obviously he's not bathing well, How do I tell him without hurting his feelings?

Answer 1

Plan a romantic evening together: candles, wine, dinner, and a hot, sudsy bath...that will get some things going for you both and he'll get clean without you hurting his feelings. Have fun!

Answer 2

Don't focus on the smell. Instead, tell him how it drives you wild when he is freshly showered. He will want to shower. If you tell him he smells, he might feel shame in his body which is not a good start to a romantic evening.

This is presuming you mean b.o. If it is a different smell, and new, perhaps he has a yeast infection. Yes, men can get these too, but is described as jock-itch. He can use an over the counter cream to clear it away. Be aware that you two can pass it back and forth, so you should treat yourself too as a prevention.

Answer 3

What kind of odor is it, if you are concerned, then he should see a doctor, sometimes bathing has nothing to do with it, my fiance has an odor and he showers everyday, and I know he washes down there thoroughly, and he has never been with anyone but me, so it is not a disease, bacteria can create a smell, and they can sweat which can also create an odor, it does kinda spoil the mood, try antibacterial soap that usually helps

Answer 4

Gee, If given the ultimatum that I should bath first before having sex,,, I think I would take about 3 or 4 baths a day.

Answer 5

Buy some wonderfully fragrant liquid soaps and bathe each other either in the shower or hot tub. They have them in the bath and body works, some stores like that. Just have fun with it. Let him wash you and then you wash him. Tell him this is a turn on for you if he ask, and try it, it just might be. Also there are some other fragrant lotions etc. you can buy. Check it out.

Answer 6

I must be really blunt when it comes to that kind of stuff cuz otherwise you'll be grossed out every time you two engage in love making. I suggest you you tell him straight up, dude your balls stink and I would appreciate it if you would have a little consideration for me as Im the one with my face down there, ask him how he would feel if it were the other way around.

Answer 7

1- Invite him to take a shower with you and you scrub him down.
2- Sit down and talk with him tell him it's important to get his attention. Let him know how you feel when he does bath properly. That you feel like he doesn't care about you. Say that when he comes to your bed clean you feel that he care cause he's making an effort.

3- If 1 and 2 fail just whisper softly in his ear that "Until he gets rid of his funk, he won't be getting funky with you."

Answer 8

Suggest a very sensual shower and wash him up very good.
You might want to suggest a doctor appointment for any medical problems if the odor does not go away it could mean that something more serious is going on.

Answer 9

Try initiating a shower into your sex life. If he won't shower, you may try buying him some cologne, but probably not a good idea to mask the odor. Unfortunately, you may have to be blunt and in this case it sounds like it is his hygiene--better you tell him than others.

Answer 10

it is more of a change the soap u have or the rag that he may be using, if u could suggest an intimate shower seen 2ghter b4 u actually do the deed and u take the initiative 2 clean his body for him in a sensual type manner, but u could suggest he trim or shave in that area if he does not do it already?
