 i agree with the other readers that your girlfriend might just be sensitive to smell. I think if she doesn't want to give you a blow job, she'll just say it instead of telling you that you smell down there. To me, that's a more hurtful thing to do. Personally, i love giving my boyfriend blowjobs because i feel that it is an intimate thing to do. I can detect a mild odor but it's not bad bad so I'm ok with it. It doesn't quite bother me & i guess it's normal for everyone to have body odor; or may be i just get used to his :) However,that being said, I'll prefer him not to perform oral sex on me because I always worry that I'll smell down there, even though i care lots about my personal hygiene & would shower every time before we have sex. I don't think i smell, but I guess I'm just too self-conscious.

 I will just co-sign what others have said: it is very likely that your girlfriend has a keener sense of smell than you. This sort of thing is especially common with young women.
Drink pineapple juice and shave. Those are my suggestions!

Another possibility to consider is the fact that there is far more work involved in performing fellatio on a man than there is in performing cunnilinguis on a woman. Your gilfriend may be tired of feeling obligated to do something so uncomfortable every time you two are intimate. There is more to foreplay than oral sex.

 Shaving or "manscaping" can also cut down on BO in that area.

But it may not be that you smell necessarily or even that she is sensitive to smells. All of us have a natural smell to our bodies, each of us is different. To me my husband always smells good, no matter how sweaty or unshowered he is. He doesn't need any Old Spice or Axe or any of that. I love his smell. His pharamones are just naturally attuned to my brain chemestry for some reason. I've had previous boyfriends in my past that no matter how clean or how much cologne or deoderant they used, they smelled really bad to me.
Sadly, it doesn't work both ways. He always says I smell even if I'm clean. It really hurts my feelings, so I know how you feel. He would never do to me what you do for your girlfriend, he says it smells so bad he wants to puke. So... I just don't even bother asking him.

I have a super sensitive sence of smell, not just body odors either. My husband's scrotum has an odor that's not necessarily strong or bad but it is an offensive odor to me, even straight out of the shower but he insist that I have virtually no feminine odor at all. I think that he has just gotten accustomed to my smell because I don't think I'm odorless! I do eat very little red meat, something my husband eats 4-5 days a week and I eat allot of vegitables, mostly raw as well as limit dairy products except yogert all of which I believe changes my body chemistry and the smell of my perspiration and bodily fluids. Chigirl may have a point recomending diatary changes to alter body odor though it may take longer than a week to really notice any improovement. For that to be really effective, it needs to be a long term lifestyle change to make any real impact on odor and taste. I will tell you that asparigus, brocolli and spinich as good as they are may make you smell better due to the high content of chloriphil, but will make youe seminal fluid so bitter and harsh that your girl just may puke from the taste, so keep in mind that what may have the strongest impact on your body odor may have strongest negative side effect in taste.
At the end of the day, she may just not be able to stand your odor no matter how much you do to try to alter it. Maybe she could try a flavored lubricant. Not only do they have a strong taste, but usually a strong odor also. That's what I use and it certainly helps but I still smell his odor but I CHOOSE not to let it interfer on most occasions unless it's unbearable.

 Maybe she is hyper sensitive to the smell. Or maybe you don't smell bad, but a a stern scent to you either way, and she doesn't like it.
What I suggest is that you change your diet for a week and see if it helps. What you eat changes how you smell and taste. Certain things make you taste and smell not so good, while others neutralize it. Google it, and try to see if your diet is the problem. It doesn't take more than 2 days maximum for your body to react to what you eat, so it doesn't have to be a life permanent change. But maybe a day before you and your girl meet up, you twist your diet a bit, and see if it helps?
