Scared to have sex again
Hi everyone, I don’t really know where else to post this, but I feel completely distraught and embarrassed.
I’ve been dating this guy for about two months and I really like him. Recently he mentioned that I smell and taste like onions after sex, and now I feel terrified to even be intimate again.
The thing is, I genuinely don’t know why this would be happening. I don’t really eat onions or garlic, I shower twice a day, and I try to freshen up before sex. I drink a lot of water too. My diet could probably be healthier overall, but it’s not like I’m constantly eating foods known for causing strong odors.
What’s making this harder is that I feel like I *have* noticed a slight onion-like smell before, so now I’m spiraling and hyper aware of my body. I’ve even tried tasting myself and I honestly don’t notice anything unusual, which makes me even more confused.
I just feel really self-conscious and honestly kind of heartbroken over this. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Did you figure out what caused it? Are there any tips for getting rid of it or things I should look into medically/diet wise?
Please be kind because this has really affected my confidence.
