The communicator of sexual issues Alison Ramírez (@alisonmramirez) ensures that the smell of sex is real: “This smell can vary from very good to very bad, according to hygiene and sexual practice (oral, masturbation, sex with period, anal...) that was done ".

But what does sex smell like?

According to several experts, sex smell is a mixture of different aromas that lead many people to identify the combination of different fluids and say: "It smells like sex!".Alison, the creator of the "Hello Mami Chula" podcast, explains that within the smells that create the smell of sex are: "The sweat of bodies, genital fluids, body fluids, the smell of condom and lubricants with highs smells".

Therefore among the smells that make up that characteristic sensation are:

Genital smell: Has it happened to you that you have a partner and together they have a smell, but then you change their partners and change the smell? That is to say, change the smell of your ex when he is with you and, of course, your new partner has a smellown that having sex with you will create a smell of different sex.

Usually each person has a different smell in their intimate zone, according to the gynecologist Jessica Shepherd to Kien y Ke magazine.That is, if you are a woman and your partner is too, each one will have your own smell.

So when your genital fluids combine with someone else's, regardless of their gender, they will create a different smell, so that aroma changes from a couple and that is a smell of sex.

Sweat: although not everyone sweats when they have sex, many people do and some sweat a lot."That can also create different odors," says Shepherd.

Condones or flavored lubricants: these can also influence the smell that is created, either in the environment by having sex or after, and combined with the previous smells can create a stronger smell of sex.

“Semen is alkaline, that is, it has a high pH, while vaginal secretion is acidic or low pH.When both sex fluids combine they create a viscous substance with totally chemical properties and that can be perceived through the smell, ”says the communicator, while adding that the smell of sex depends largely on the pH levels that areThey combine.

Sex can smell very bad, but it should not be so, so experts recommend that if you feel an unpleasant smell you go to their trusted doctor, since it would be a sign of bacterial imbalance, infections, etc..
