A Canadian doctor, Dr Jen Gunter, has urged women with ‘smelly vaginas’ to dump boyfriends, husbands, male partners with benefit who complain about the natural smell of their private parts.
According to Dr. Jen, a v**ina should smell. It is a ‘form of abuse’ when men complain and women should not feel ashamed or feel they have to resort to buying harmful products that create artificial odours.
These harmful products, she says, upset the v**ina’s natural pH balance and leave you at a greater risk of infections like gonorrhoea and even HIV.
Writing in her latest blog newsletter, the Canadian gynecologist revealed she once dumped a boyfriend for complaining about the smell of her private parts.
She wrote:
‘I once dated a guy who insinuated my v**ina did not smell right. He was an a** in other ways too. For example, he thought my hair would be better if it were straight. Sadly I took the bait, it wasn’t.
‘He thought I would look better if I dressed a certain way. Again I took the bait. I just felt worse.
‘When it came around to telling me how my v**ina could be better, it finally clicked that this is a form of control that men often use.
‘Fortunately I am an appropriately confident v**ina expert and I had a light bulb moment and dumped his sorry a**.
‘I realize this may border on TMI [too much information], but honestly if it happened to me I bet it has happened to other women.
A v**ina takes care of itself. Like a self cleaning oven. The v**ina needs no cleaning and the vulva needs very little.
However, ‘a strong vaginal odor – for instance, a “fishy” smell – might be abnormal and could indicate a problem.
‘If you think you have a medical condition, see a doctor. If your partner insinuates that an artificial smell is preferable to the smell of a normal v**ina they are the one who has an issue.
‘Telling women how they can be better is a classic way of tapping into body image issues and honestly in my personal opinion it is a form of abuse.’
Dr Gunter has previously stressed that women should be aware that douches are unnecessary – and even dangerous – as our intimate areas are designed to clean themselves.
She also recently warned about the dangers of carrying out a ‘v**ina facial’ using a cucumber.
