Most men’s private areas have a strong odor, but what’s the difference between men whose smell is noticeable and those who don’t smell much?

Apparently, as we age, we produce more of a substance called nonenal, which can cause body odor. There seem to be various ways to deal with it, but the simplest is probably to wash thoroughly. So first, have him wash properly. However, quite a few papas don’t realize they have an odor, so try pointing it out gently. Saying “You stink!” could come across as a personal attack, and papas in general tend to get sulky easily, so you need a certain amount of skill in how you bring it up. I’d appreciate it if you could tell him gently—and seductively. You may find this hard to believe, but even young women can have an odor, especially around their intimate areas. Based on my experience with a limited number of people, I’d say around 30%. I’m not trying to pick a fight; it’s simply that people have a hard time noticing their own scent. So please wash thoroughly. The tricky part is that there are also quite a few papas who like intimate areas with a scent. It’s not easy.

Urine, sweat, bacteria, and your natural body chemistry—those are probably some of the causes of the odor. That area is warm, humid, and prone to getting sweaty, so poor hygiene can be a serious problem. If bacteria are multiplying, that’s the worst. A lot of people don’t notice their own smell, do they? You can more easily notice foot odor or bad breath, but since it’s not exactly easy to go sniff down there directly, maybe that’s why so many people don’t realize they have an odor… Who knows. Even if it’s just your natural body chemistry, there are various ways to address it, including treatment. —It’s me

I don’t think he’ll notice it himself. There’s also what the previous commenter mentioned, and unless you wash all the way down to the base, it can smell. If you wash him thoroughly, he’ll appreciate it—and it’s a plus for you too. Otherwise, you’ll end up smelling as well.

People who don’t realize they have fossil-like smegma buried deep under their foreskin smell bad down there. I discovered mine when I was in college. It was buried so deep that I never noticed it from washing normally.
