I'm 16 years old and have really never engaged in sexual relations until recently. Me and my gf began to fool around and when I went down on her I immediately noticed an odor somewhat like a sweaty underarm. It was extremely strong and I didnt want to let her know so I just stayed away from it and went back up. Im not sure if all vaginas smell this way because this is my first experience. What do I do?

All vaginas have at least a slight odor. It might just be something new to you that you have to get used to, but if it smells really strongly, it could be an infection. A bready smell could indicate a yeast infection; a fishy smell might be bacterial vaginosis. If it's just a really strong sweaty smell, though, it could just be a hygeine issue.
Next time you're being intimate, see if anything has changed. If it's the same smell as last time, wait until you are dressed and relaxed and try bringing it up. Tell her that you like going down on her, but she smells different from what you expected and that you're worried she might have a health problem.
Good luck! :)

If it was a sweaty smell, that's almost certainly just what it sounds like. How do your balls smell after being sweaty all day? Not too sweet I imagine. If she takes a shower an hour before any oral play, you'll probably get a better sense of her normal smell. Immediately after it may taste like nothing, you need a little time for the natural lubrication to return. Foul, seriously off smells are a bad sign, but a smell that's like body odor, even if unpleasant, isn't necessarily abnormal. If your relationship continues for awhile, and you're a good partner that keeps up the oral, you'll likely notice natural variations where she tastes and smells differently, and that's normal too. It's only when the smell is unlike what a normal unwashed body might make that you should recommend she see a doc.

Vaginas are not supposed to smell bad...It may have just been that one time or she may need to get herself checked out. It could be any number of things like maybe she was sweaty from a long day, if she has pubic hair after a long day it could smell ( shaved is always best then it always smells good), if she just finished her period that day it might smell a little, if sh has any type of an infection it will smell, if she is unclean it might smell. But it should not smell- don't be discouraged by your first experience...

Sounds like an issue of cleanliness, not infection. I would be REALLY upset if my partner told ME I was stinky, so watch out. Instead, try having sex in the shower together....or after a shower. Try playing with scented oils, food even.
Maybe the armpit smell was a one time thing. You might have caught her off guard. Try again and see if it's still there.

There's no way to say for sure if it was her natural odor or an infection.
If I had to guess I'd guess that she was sweaty and unwashed.
You body can sweat everywhere, do you have any clue how bad balls can small? I wish I didn't.
Give it another shot when you know she's had a shower

Don't jump to conclusions though! This is a very sensitive subject. There is a difference between normal "been at school all day and it was hot" BO and a yeast infection. Everyone assumes infection at the drop of a hat when it comes to girls parts. They do have a distinctive smell. I suggest you catch her after a shower. ;)

Tell her to bathe with Ivory soap it has no perfumes or dyes to irritate her vaginal area and it helps with the sweaty underarm odor down there. Tell her to use the Ivory and stay away from the douches and she shouldn't smell like that again.I forgot to add ....you're 16 ?? Why are you having sex and going down on HER???? Please stop having sex at least until you're married!

No, it is not normal for a woman's vagina to smell the way you described. You need to let her know what you noticed. It's very possible that she might have an infection going on and this needs to be checked out by a dr.

I can't believe no one has suggested maybe a 16 year old shouldn't be having sex. Or at least not with someone he doesn't feel comfortable enough to talk to about something like this!
