The Flavor Of Love
The other day my friend Jessica was telling me a story about how she was hooking up with a guy the other night and when they were done he asked, “Did you have a burger today? You smell like beef.”
Ay dios mio! I was totally mortified just hearing the story. I’m petrified of that specific type of “body odor”, especially during these hot summer months in New York!
And what was Jessica’s response? She told him that no, she hadn’t had a Big Mac for lunch, asked him to leave and never saw him again.
I told Jessica that my some of my gay guy friends eat fruits like kiwi and pineapple to help their semen taste better. Perhaps this trick could work both ways?
I also shared this article with her – even though it’s about sperm I’m thinking us mujeres can probably use it as a guideline too. Apparently, we’re supposed to avoid caffeine, alcohol and junk food. Of course, three of my favorite food groups!
Flustered by all the B.O. talk, I called Sam and (needing to know the answer to this burning question) blatantly asked him, “Do you think I smell funny down there?”
“Uh, no. Look, if you took your panties off in the bedroom and your plant immediately died then we’d have problems,” he said with a laugh. I giggled and thanked him for his honesty.
So, do I have to cut down on my hamburguesas and patatas fritas this summer or am I just being paranoid? Are you ever scared about stinking down under too? What do you do to avoid B.O. in those areas? Have you ever been in a similar situation to Jessica’s?
Un Abrazo Fuerte,

omg!~~~~ just make sure you use wipes on yourself before getting busy with your man~~ mi sugerencia
I was told by an older friend in undergrad that eating pineapple and sweet, sweet fruit was the key. so since being taught that what i do and have only heard good things since
my BFF’s and I even have an insider - when we have a special weekend, date, or vacation comng up, we make sure to buy the pineapple juice and drink up!
i’m a big platano fan so if its appetizing i guess who cares. this is definitely a conversation i would never have with my madrecita.
I have a natural strong smell down there and asked the doc about that, it is normal and so far nobody complaint it, my ex always said it was strong and different. lol…….i always make sure i am very clean down there before we do anything.
OMG kind of like that Sex and the City episode when Samantha’s guy had funky spunk!!! LOL Anyway I also have asked my doctor because at times throughout the year I also have a strong odor and I dont think it smells bad. The doc said it was normal but that if it started to get you know itchy and scratchy than it was a sign of possible infection. Please don’t laugh but I’ve had this conversation before with my friends and most agree that if you don’t trim regularly down there than it will sweat more and thus possibly lead to a bad smell. I’m still paranoid and shower everyday even if it’s only from the neck down(hair will frizz if I wash it everyday).
I save my yoni, wash everyday and I dont use any soap or smell good products down there and I have never had a complaint.
Once a month I get a bikini wax and right before I’m gunna get busy I run to the bathroom and wipe down there either with a warm washcloth or cucumber face wipes. So far so good.
For as long as I can remember I use feminine deodarant sprays (FDS & Summer’s Eve) and I’ve never had any complaints. Wipes and trimming helps alot as well.
Cucumber face wipes? Aren’t our yoni’s too sensitive for this? Wow…interesting tips. I also agree about keeping your hair trimmed down there — think about guys with big ol’ long beards…I actually dated a guy with a big beard and he used to get paint and weird stuff in there.
He used to what? and where? haha…wow! Well I think our yoni’s clean themselves and dont need products once you start using them you kind of have to keep it going.
I figure if we can wipe around our eyes with them (cucumber face wipes) to remove makeup, they have to be sensitive enough for our va-jay-jays!
OMG that sounds really mortifying! I think drinking lots of water would help down there. I’ve never really had this problem. I’m not a fan of the sprays and stuff because of fear of yeast infections. Then you’re really in a stink!
LMAO…this is so funny because just the other day a girlfriend of mine and I were in the car talking about this. She said that the guy she is dating now told her that she tasted sooo good. I was like how is that possible I thought your special areas usually taste kinda funny. Well I know I am totally grossed out by the taste of it and to be honest I am surprised that gay men actually eat fruit to make it taste better. I do know that eating a lot of fatty fluids will make it much more stinkier for a female. I always said to my girlfriends “pues lavatelo”!! I love EVE spray they have several different smells and honestly even when you sweat you still feel fresh and smile pretty nice. I have had not complaints from my husband. I also know that when I dont trim and let it grow out it tends to smell kinda like armpits! So I always trim now.
I guess I can say the same as the other chicas.
Just keep it short and clean is the only way to go. one of my girlfriends keeps a babywipe in saranwrap in her wallet, kind of like a guy a codom. in case of anything she can run into a restroom and freshen up.
I dont keep it in my wallet but I have a baggie of baby wipes in my purse for other things, but I know I could use it for that too.
I heard the same theory about fruit since it contains fructose, a natural sugar. I also heard that drinking lots of water is good as well since it cleanses you out. Haha but just for good measures I do all bathroom business before I shower and soak for a couple minutes in a rosewater bath.
Hey Ladies,
Water, Water and More Water….. It will clean you from the inside out… I take vitamin supplements, fish oils (i know), eat lots of garlic and onions.. and I tell you, I got to the steam room at least twice a week, yeap even in the summer.. I also work out for two hours on Tuesdays and two hours on thursday non-stop..
and again drink lots of water… : ))))
