erm, i think im the first one, which makes me feel slightly more confident because then he can't compare, hes a little younger than me(1 year and a half) and he didn't want to do it until he found the right person:-D.

I used to be worried about letting men perform oral with me, but most men really love it. It's not really the taste that they worry about, but it turns them on just to do it. Smell doesn't seem to be a bother to them at all. The guy I'm dating now has never even kissed a girl before me, so I was the first one he did that for, and now he can't get enough of it. I think it's possible he might have to get used to it if he's never done it before, but I think if he wants to do it he'll be happy :P

It's normal to be nervous. Just was real good. Do  your own smell test. Stick finger in and see. Is it ok for you? If so, then it's fine for your boyfriend. If not then either change your soap. Soaps can react with your vaginal flora. Find out what's good for you. Everyone is different. For me lever 2000 and Irish spring I have to stay away from. Or if it's too much discharge, quick water douch I think Is ok or stick finger in and get goo out when you shower  Just do what you need to be confident so you can enjoy the ride.

Consider yourself quite lucky if your boyfriend wishes to perform oral sex. There are many men who want a ********, but don't seem to "get it" that women enjoy oral every bit as much.
Having said that...........please do NOT buy into the advertising worlds disgusting suggestions that our vaginas stink and we need to fluff and buff and shave and spray and douche so we don't befoul the air within 100 yards! You never hear them promoting products for mens genitals which do NOT smell like a field of flowers!
Bathe or shower as you normally would on your next date. Don't spend anymore time or effort on your privates than you normally do. Don't get out the pressure washer in other words.
Everyone has some sort of genital odor and it IS perfectly normal. Unless your boyfriend is a virgin or has only ever been with you, he may NOT know about various body odors, but I'm betting that if he is around your age, he knows. Maybe not from personal experience but from reading and locker room talk.
The more you worry that you may turn him off by your unique smell, the less you are going to be able to relax and truly enjoy the experience. For once just be selfish and bask in the sexuality of the act.
At the wonderful age of 60, I've had a "few" experiences in my day and I can tell you that 99.9% of men absolutely LOVE going down on a woman.  
I get the impression you've never experienced oral sex before which is why you're a bit nervous. Don't be. The feelings will take your breath away.
Relax and learn to fly.
Peace
