Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with?

Bruh - I’m tomboy, was raised to out-compete other boys, and am gay as can be.

The only time there’s ever been a fishy smell that’s been noticable above clothing was from someone with an infection, which is usually caused by poor hygiene. Sometimes that smell can linger, especially in a washroom if their bits have been exposed.

The only other thing I can think of is if someone has been menstruating into a pad that’s overdue for a change? Blood and the whole mucus and others that come from a woman can give a pretty horrible scent. But that’s gotta be so rare, and again, usually coincides with poor hygiene practices.

Everyone has a different scent (and taste), but it’s so rare that unless you’re between another’s legs that you’ll smell it. Those jokes are in poor taste just like small dick jokes are. Men are just as capable of smelling awful down there, too. No one gender is particularly prone to stank more than the other.

So if you have at least okay hygiene practices and you’re not trying to paint the walls with your vagina, you’re fine.
