The best way I can explain it is like how the back of a Playstation or other console when it gets hot and the air coming out of it is hot. Combined with a slight armpit smell. As long as I have been on the internet, I keep reading about how women smell “fishy” down there, and I was always confused by that. Am I just weird?

    “fishy” = bacterial vaginosis

    The common scent element in healthy cis women is “tangy”.

    Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.

    Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.
