abit late but i figure i should help a sista out. If you have unprotected sex with no form of birth control, their is always a strong possibility u will get pregnant. I suggest getting birth control if you want to continue having unprotected sex and do not want to get pregnant,

It could possibly go away or only be like this certain times of the month. In the past with my ex, for the first couple years I never had any issue when he didn't pull out....but then we started noticing that the next day if we would have sex, for one it would be extra wet on my part, and a little thicker then normal and the lubrication had a smell , NOT my vagina.....It isn't your vagina, it is the mixture between his cum and your lubrications. This wasn't something that was constant. It only lasted a few months and it wasn't thru out the entire month. A woman's hormones change thru out the month and I think this can affect the smell also. So the closer you get to your period the more or less the mixture of the 2 can have an odor. I know I am going thru the same problem right now with my new partner. Luckily he knows it isn't me and he is mature about it. I told him that it is the mixture between his and my stuff. I told him if it doesn't go away that he will just have to pull out or use a condom. That will fix it. But if your trying to get pregnant then I guess you will have to deal with it. But like I said, in a week or so the smell wont be there probably since your hormones will change some.

Just have sex after 2 days you had sex…the smell disappears after 2 days of sexual encounter (that is my experience)...

Bad vaginal odour can be a symptom of vaginal infections, but it can simply be a result of bacterial imbalance. Your vagina has an acidic pH, where as semen has an alkaline pH - your vagina cannot adjust straight away to this sudden pH change so it can throw-off the natural balance of bacteria which can cause odour and that odour can last a few days. Sex itself can alter vaginal pH too, when you orgasm your vaginal pH does drop, lubrication will also effect pH.
Some women find certain partners cause more problems because just as women's vagina's can have differing pH the same is true of different men and the pH of their semen - you may also have particularly acidic pH, at certain points in your cycle this may be more of an issue, also if your vaginal pH is already a little off-balance it may mean more chance of this happening.
Do NOT use products like Summers Eve.
Your vagina is self-cleaning, it doesn't need products like these and in fact such products are unhygienic because these are obviously alkaline so effect vaginal pH, they can also wash away or kill healthy bacteria, amongst other problems. Such products are made purely to make money out of women's paranoid and insecurity about their vaginal scent - don't buy into their marketing ploy.
Best thing to do is wash after sex with just water - only ever use water to wash with, no soaps, washes, wipes, or douching - if it is particularly bad then add a few drops of tea tree oil to the water to wash over your vulva; sit over the toilet and use a jug to pour water over your vulva. Make sure to dry well and then keep up good vaginal hygiene; cotton panties, no synthetic or tight clothing, no liners, avoid commercial pads and tampons like the plague, wash regularly, etc.
You may also have some luck seeing if you can change pH - tests your pH and test his, you can alter vaginal pH and semen pH by changing your diet slightly which may help, there are plenty of sites that discuss this because vaginal pH plays a part in TTC. I would also point out that your vaginal pH changes during your cycles, maybe during your least fertile days, when your vaginal pH is higher, use condoms to prevent his semen causing a problem with your vaginal pH.

The smell does not happen with all partners. I have had this happen with only one or two partners. This did not happen with my husband or my first boyfriend. I find it hard to be in a relationship with someone my body fluids don't agree with, because it is often the woman who has to live with it and carry it around. It is very much a turn off and an intimacy killer.

I am 2 months pregnant now, and I would smell after hubby would come, too. I still get pregnant very fast and I have noticed the smell for over a year before. You are fine, but if you are over 35 I would talk to dr about you TTC so you don't waste anymore time. I pray you have your dream baby soon.
