My man...i dont mean this to be gross..?

Question:

Ok, i feel gross asking this, but i want to know...
My fiance is a clean person, takes a shower every single day, I have noticed like in the past 4-5 months that he has a bad odor down there(his penis). It is like a fishy odor.
I know for sure 100% that he is not cheating and never has. Why does he smell like that? I mean he even smells like that after he takes a shower.
He didn't have this odor before. I don't know how to tell him. This is affecting our sex life too. What could be wrong? What is it from?

Please only serious answers! No joking!

Answers:
As for approaching him, maybe the next time you go "down there", you can act kind of surprised, and say something like "Honey, I don't want to alarm you but you're smelly kind of strange down here. I'm only noticing because usually you smell so good. Maybe it's an infection or something".
That way it doesn't sound like you're disgusted, and he doesn't feel as embarassed.
Stuff like this happens.
Good luck.

maybe it's because of the bacteria.why don't you ask him?

wow..if he is takin showers and u dont think he is cheating, maybe he should see a dr. that sounds bad, does he know he smells like this? i wouldnt even know how to tell him

I don't know what could cause the odor. Is he circumsized? Have him go to the dr and get a smear done.

he may have a disease. most of the time it is because of sweat but if he takes a shower and still smells then look out. have you ever smelled yourself. your stuff probably smells too.

His doctor would be the only person who could definitely tell you what the source of the problem is.

It could be a fungus like jock itch. It is fairly common and easy to treat. Go here for info

you could have had a yeast infection and passed it to him, and he has it now-YES it is very possible to give to him, you got treated and then he has the infection

the test is painful, so don't tell him that. they basically stick a q-tip with little tips like a bore brush up the tip of his penis.

just get him to the dr. tell him you are concerned and that you will go with him , IF he wants you to go.

THAt may be a health issue.

If it's affecting your relationship and the enjoyment of... you need to gather up your courage and say something, he maybe unaware and it's a medical problem. No to be rude but I've only encountered this type of question when it involves a women and that "fishy smell". May something, eh?

well my guess would be that he isnt cleaning it good enough.it gets really sweaty down there i dont know it could be but not cleaning it.hope it gets better for u

Is he circumcised? If not then that could be an obvious source of the problem. He needs to pull the skin back and wash more thoroughly. You have to tell him. It would have to be very delicate but must be done especially if this is impacting your sex life. If he gets upset it probably will be short lived and then at least it will be out in the open.5 months is way too long to be putting off the obvious.

I'm sure that it's some sort of an infection, you should somehow hint at it, maybe by saying something along the line of the taste (might hurt less than hearing that he smells) ask him if he's been feeling alright

really, you should go to the doctor and don't have sex with him. You might have a yeast infection and don't know if you gave it to him, be honest talk to him, 100 percent sure is crazy girl! love your body!(100 percent?)

people sweat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. sometimes more than other times.

it could be he is a lazy wiper..smells from the anus.
it could be sweat, mixed with urine
ect. ect.

possible a bacterial infection that you are passing back and forth dont worry about him men generally urinate their infections out. continue making sure he baths well good luck

OK stinky guy crotch could be any number of things. make him take some clippers to his fuzzy bits -- things can grow in the hair.

It could be jock itch but he would be red and itchy.

It could be his diet too. Some things sweat out a lot stinkier than others.

If it is affecting your sex life then he probably knows something is up already -- guys are kind of crazy like that -- he probably thinks its something else entirely though -- you might want to clue him in -- you don't have to sensitive - guys usually like direct better anyway. something like "boo bear -- would you mind clippering?" would be just fine. if he asks why you could explain that smelly bacterias like to grow down there and you just want to nip it in the bbud -- even tho the bud was a few mos ago.

I would suggest both of you go for a check. this is no joke.

The fact that he's circumcised just proves that circumcision doesn't eliminate all problems, even smell. Sorry, it just bothers me how people automatically assume that only uncircumcised guys smell down there.

Anyway, if you're confident it's not because of his personal hygiene, tell him to go to the doctor. It could be a yeast infection, in which case it'll be bad for you too. If it is then it's easily treatable and he'll have to take oral or cream medication, but eating yogurt helps too because it helps replenish the body's natural microbial environment.

do you have the same odor?does he eat seafood?are you sure he's not cheating?maybe it's his soap?is the water in your house okay?
