Last week we advised an EMandLO.com reader on how to make her love garden smell (and taste) fresh. So we were wondering what you thought was the most important factor in determining the pleasantness of someone's below-the-belt bouquet...? Diet, not smoking, chemistry between partners?

When it comes to other people, I think that the "fresh"-est is when they've shaved and taken a bath. Just nice and clean. In general, though, I do not care - I enjoy it no matter what, but it does mostly depend on their natural scent.

I like when pussy tastes and smells like pussy. If I wanted flowers I'd go to a florist.

As long as it's been recently showered, then we're all good.

I have a very sensitive nose, so fresh showers are nearly always in order. Diet can also affect things down there. We ate asparagus and horseradish dip at a party a month or so ago and it was awful.

Same here. I once read an erotic story where a girl douched before meeting her guy so that she would "taste like strawberries". A louder facepalm has never been executed.

Ugh. If I want to taste like strawberries, I'll get a strawberry flavored lube. That way he can taste both me AND strawberries. Except he hates strawberries. But whatever, the point is the same. Showering before oral = good. Douching? Not so much.

I am so guilty of eating too much garlic and tasting like a damn pesto sauce. My partner claims to not mind but I don't know...

Freshest to me would be clean out of the shower.

Any other experiences where a specific food/beverage really affected smell and/or taste?

Ahahaha, I love the facepalm reference!

But you'd think that if he wanted to taste strawberries, he'd just go have some. Although, my guy (like Luscious Lily's), doesn't like strawberries--which blows my mind. I love fruit.

Exactly. Except mine does like strawberries. But I think that's beside the point. We just shower if we're not sure, lol

Freshness? ugh.
When my partner just got out of the shower, he smells like soap - not sex.
I don't want my pussy to smell like flowers, or "rain", or "summer garden," I want it to smell like pussy. I like that smell just fine, thanks.
I think it has to do with someone's body chemistry that determines whether or not they smell nice (and the body chemistry of the smeller has a lot to do with that as well!)

My partner used to eat a lot of Indian food...he smelled lovely.
