Thanks for starting this thread, Whiplashsmile4. It is interesting, and I even picked up a coveted crockpot yogurt making recipe. quote:
It isn't always a "cleanliness" thing. Generally speaking if a woman has a strong "fishy" smell she has BV. Bacterial Vaginosis. It is similar to the misnomered yeast "infection". There is no real infection in either case, just something is out of whack: an overgrowth of flora or normal bacteria that are already naturally present but now are out of balance. I wonder what the heck was going on years ago with an ex boyfriend. We would both smell fine, I had no overgrowths of any kind...we would shower together...and since I was on the pill, we had sex bare. Whew, afterwards I always stank. He blamed me, but I swear he had something to do with it. It was not the yeast overgrowth, but the other one. (No, I will not say that word, lol.) He used to go around telling some joke about Adam and Eve having sex and afterward, Eve stank...so Adam told her to go wash off in the ocean... And then God said to Adam, "Great. Now I will never get the smell off of the fish..." Years later, I was with someone else and...could this be a ph thing? It burned like someone had put Draino up there and I would swell almost shut. Any repeat sex for 2-3 hours afterward would trigger HARD muscle spasms inside, making penetration impossible or...make me be screaming HELL NO! LOL. No stank with that one, even if we did it straight after he came home from work, all funky and unshowered. (He had some ED because of high blood pressure and diabetes, so wearing a condom was out of the question; it would shrivel up if he tried to wear a "raincoat.") I don't know if I was reacting to his meds, something he ate or drank, something like a ph mismatch, or if I had developed an actual allergy to ejaculate. I do not want some "stank" worries to come back on me, so if anyone has information on why two healthy people could get together and have this unfortunate side effect happen, give me a link, please. By the time my gyn appointments came up, the gyn said there was nothing wrong with me. With the "Draino" thing, I went to the gyn the next afternoon and was feeling a bit raw still but not too bad, until he inserted the speculum and opened it up and clicked it into place. Holy hannah, the spasms hit hard and there I was screaming on that table. No, the evilratb*stard did not remove it, and I panted out "SPASMS!" In the end, he found nothing wrong and sent me home. (Too bad he didn't insert his gloved fingers after the speculum was out and not just before. The spasms might have almost broken some of his bones, lol, and then he would have taken my problem seriously.) It would have been nice to get more info on this from my gyns so I could understand WTF happened each time.
