Strange Smell
I hadn't seen my boyfriend in over a month and had not been sexually activity. When I moved back for school and starting seeing him, we started having a lot of sex.
I am on the birth control pill, and that is our only form of BC and he does ejaculate inside me. I am also extremely bladder infection prone but it has been under control for over a year.
So, the next day I noticed a smell down there, and I didn't feel very clean. Its sort of a fishy/sulfur smell. I am wondering why this is happening because prior to having sex with him there were no issues what so ever- it was almost immediate.
Is this a result of semen being left inside me? I also wash myself before and after sex each time, even if we are going to be having sex the whole night. Could this be a result of over washing?
My period finished last Wednesday (the 8th of September) and we started having sex again the ninth. There has also been no unusual discharge.

Ask him to start using a condom and see if the smell goes away. If so, he either does not keep himself at the same hygenic standards as you, or you are just chemically incompatable........smell-wise. There may be something else going on. Checking with a doctor may not be a bad idea either. I would also recommend using a condom all the time even though you are on the pill. It is a good idea for so many reasons.

Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
