Girls, do you ever worry about body odor when a new partner performs oral on you for the first time? Do you do a "scent" check on yourself?

I know I've been self conscious when a new girlfriend has given me a "spur of the moment" blow job. There were times I hadn't showered for a while or just didn't feel clean. I love going down on women and have never had a bad experience but often wonder, if a girl gets self conscious? Every girl I've been with let's me enjoy myself and have always seemed very confident. How about you ladies?

It's always in the back of my head. Also whether or not I'm properly groomed.
I can tense up if I'm worried and I won't be able to relax properly.

I've pulled guys up a lot when they tried to go down on me, because I didn't feel clean enough and such.
Don't always have to only be with a new partner either.

I guess I did have a girl stop me once. I thought maybe she was on her period but we had sex. Now I realize she was probably concerned. On a side note, I actually think that is nice of you to be concerned for your partner but they won't be grossed out, they'll just move on. Most anyway.

Women are very mindful of these things. Just like I wouldn't be comfortable with someone licking my armpit - especially not if I wasn't clean right from the showers.

It's really interesting to me, because I find that a lot of women maybe self conscious of certain sex acts, maybe even grossed out but will let a guy do it anyway. I see posts like that on here all the time. Toe sucking, rimming, among other things... but I would say the majority of women say things like, "I think it's gross and weird but if he wants to do it I guess it's harmless". Do you agree? For example, if someone you really liked wanted to lick your armpit, would you let him?

No, I'm not comfrotable with that. I don't want a partner who's okay with tearing down my boundaries without a care in the world. I did have an ex who tried to rim me several times, even though he knew I wasn't into it and didn't want it. He pushed several of my boundaries and I felt like I lost myself. So no, if there's something I'm not comfortable with, I don't want to do it. Now there is a level of these from no gos, to 'I'm insecure and shy-ish' in my thoughts. Licking my armpit... I would have to know why and all that, initially I would say no.

I was a very shy guy when I first became sexually active. I would do anything a girl wanted to please her but I was EXTREMELY shy when she wanted to please me. It was probably 4 or 5 months before I let my first girlfriend give me a blow job. Even to this day, I could go my entire life without getting one. I don't know why, while it does feel good, I just prefer actual intercourse and pleasing the woman.
