Well, after sex it does smell like sweat
Orgasms, u know the rest, but if it isn't that, U should probaly tell him that it is normal for that to happen but it could also perhaps be him that smells if not, as I said, just tell him that its normal for a woman to have occurances like that espiacally if u had sex, if he doesn't accept it he might try to lie to you or he really doesn't believe u...

If you know you haven't had sex, then ur bf should trust you. You say you have been together for only 5 months, are your sure he isn't the one who smells like sex? Sometime when the other partner starts blaming you for things, they are guilty for doing that same thing, just saying though. I'm not sure if he is cheating or not but I have had experiences with and have other people experience the opposite sex blaming things when they were in the wrong. Good luck!

Yes, sex DOES have a smell, and butterfly pretty much nailed that so for the two of you above, now you know.

Although I would have to disagree that an infection wouldn't give off an odor that your boyfriend could mistake for the smell of sex. After all, he's just a guy and doesn't understand the woman's body. A yeast infection can make a woman smell more "fishy" down there than usual, and other infections can give off other odors... ah, the joys of being a woman! So maybe he thinks he's smelling "sex" when in fact he's just smelling YOU! Some women have a stronger odor down there than others. So keep that in mind. Even if you shower, it might still have a slight odor. You just need to explain that to him so he understands that it's just your body, and that he needs to trust you because it's making you uncomfortable.

Also, since he's just "all of a sudden" thinking that you are smelling of sex, a guilty conscience can really take a toll on a persons trust for their partner... so you might just want to keep your eyes open to make sure HE'S not the one who smells like sex!!

Hope this helps! Best wishes!

seminal fluids + vaginal secretions + saliva + sweat = the smell of sex

Sometimes infections give off weird odors; but I don't think that those odors simulate
the smell of sex. Anyway, if you're not having sex, then your bf should take you at your word... trust you... and ignore the "imagined" sex smell.
