Is this a normal relationship?

[Body odah Man]

I have an awesome and cute girlfriend. We make out, snuggle and walk in the park at night chatting about cool things and she goes to my school. However whenever I spend the night (once a week or so) she always runs a shower (or fills a tub with vanilla bubble bath) and (we're both in swimsuits) washes me with Axe body wash. She claims it's a girlfriend thing to do and whenever I refuse she kicks me out of her house or ignores me and acts hurt but I mentioned it to my dating friends and they looked at me like I was crazy. Also my gf sometimes holds her nose whenever I approach and breathes through her mouth alot.
Am I missing something or overreacting?
Edit:
@everyone
So recently I tried showering daily (yech :( ) and today she invited me over to her house for a date (typing this while she's in the shower) and she made me take another vanilla-scented bath, lie in it for 20 mins and washed me like normal. I seriously don't know whether or not she still thinks I smell, in which case I don't know what to do or if there's something else involved. Feedback?

See pg 3. for more info.

I wouldnt think twice if a girlfriend wanted to give me a bath

Are you sure you are doing all that is possible to be clean all the time, if she has to hold her breath, something smells. The fact that she's with you even though you smell talks a lot about how much she loves you. She might want to bathe you every time you stay together because she wants you to smell nice.

Most boys (and some girls) during puberty NEED to shower twice a day due to the amount of hormones raging which causes excess sebum production, which is the cause of zits and the favorite food for the odor generating bacteria that lives over our skin. By showering we wash off both sebum and the bacteria.

[DerBear]

Everything sounded normal until the last part. I mean having a bath with your girlfriend (if the relationship is at that stage) is a perfectly normal thing to do (although the swim suit thing might be seen as weird but hey, I guess it can be normal if the relationship isn't that advanced). However that last part does sound abnormal and if we take the above two factors, maybe she thinks you smell bad sometimes.

I mean does she do it all the time? Or is it when you've recently eaten food that can cause your breath to smell?

[Body odah Man]

@Sammie
TWICE A DAY! Showering once every two days is hard enough. Let's not go overboard here.
@The Last of Us
all the time when I stay over.

Yes or at least once a day! and that solves the problem, you might stink dude!

Generally it is recommended that teen males (and females) shower daily. For one thing, being clean is important in terms of social relationships. No person is an island – we interact with other people every day. So it is a good idea to present ourselves as clean and particularly important not to smell bad when interacting with others. Second, being clean allows us to stay sanitary. No person will ever be 100% germ free, but it is important to keep clean so that we are as free as possible of germs that can be harmful. For example, keeping the groin area clean and dry can help to prevent things like jock itch.

Why does showering daily and the focus on personal hygiene become so important during adolescence? Well, there are two main reasons:

· The first has to do with puberty. During puberty many males notice changes with body odor – either smelling differently or just smelling a little more. Sweat glands become more active during puberty and also begin to secrete different chemicals into the sweat that has a stronger smell. So armpits, feet and the genitals may have new and/or stronger smells. Acne can also increase during puberty – not just on the face, but on the body, too. In addition to your skin becoming more oily, the scalp can become more oily as well causing your hair to look shiny or greasy. So puberty is definitely a time when showering regularly becomes an important thing.
· The second reason is that teens tend to be very active – playing sports, being out with friends. And as mentioned above, the increased activity of sweat glands during puberty often means that you will be sweatier when active than you were when you were younger.



In general, good teen hygiene involves the following:

· Showering daily. Take a bath or shower every day using mild soap and warm water. One exception to this is if you have very dry skin, it might be advised for you to shower every other day as too much bathing can strip the skin’s natural protective oils. If you have any questions about what is best for your skin type, speak to your primary care physician, adolescent medicine specialist, or dermatologist.
· Showering after being physical active. If you come home from sports practice, a sports game, playing touch football in the park with your friends, the gym or whatever else, it is a good idea to shower right away.
· Washing hair every day or every other day.
· Using deodorant or antiperspirant. You can speak to a doctor or your pharmacist about what type and brand might be best for you. If you shower every day and do not seem to need deodorant, check in with your doctor about how necessary it is for you.
· Brush your teeth 2x a day and floss daily.
· Wear clean socks and underwear every day.

Hygiene's misspelled lol. And I know girls whom shower once every 2 days and they smell fine so not sure whether or not that's completely accurate. but perhaps I'll follow it. Still if my gf thinks I smell-that just sucks :(

it sounds like you smell my friend, but on the positive she is still with you so she must love you, try to shower more yourself

Best thing to do is just to ask her. She should give you an honest answer. But if you think it's difficult to shower every two days, you should re-prioritize your life. Unless you live a completely sedentary life, you sweat enough to wash yourself more often. It'd be good to shower at least once per day with soap and shampoo, wear deodorant (you might need one with anti-antiperspirant), and brush your teeth twice a day. That should solve any smell problems.

[Body odah Man]

@^
There's only scented anti-perspirants tho so not going to use that. I use deoderant daily
Also I'll ask her but seeing as you guys have told me she mite think I smell I doubt she'll be honest.
@everyone
None of you have answered my question tho-is this normal gf behavior?

[unnamed94]

it doesnt seem very normal. she can just tell you that you are smelling bad and that you need to take care of that, although she may feel weird about it and probably doesnt say it directly. if that was the case then that would be ok i guess, but i still find it strange. start taking care of your body, no one likes guys that are always smelling bad or have generally bad hygiene.

btw, am i the only one who thought that showering once a day is pretty normal? i thought everyone did that, or maybe it's just the op that is different. i sometimes shower two times if im going out and dont feel clean.

Well, you're not a girl, so things are a bit different. Shower at least once a day, seriously. During the summer especially, or if I am working any other time of the year I take 2 a day, sometimes even 3, it just depends. At least one is absolutely needed.

[Body odah Man]

@unnamed
Perhaps you are right
@Cooper
THREE showers a day? Dude overboard. One's bad snuff

[Trace]

It's not her behavior that might be abnormal, she just wants you to smell better/be clean. Really though, re-prioritize to where you can shower at least once daily.

[Body odah Man]

@Trace
Couldn't she just tell me instead of washing me with Axe (or making me soak 10-20 minutes in a vanilla-scented bath? Is that normal) Tho according to public opinion maybe I do smell.

[teen.jpg]

It might be normal, she just might be afraid to tell you that you smell. Might wanna take a hint.

Y afraid? I love her so she shouldn't be afraid to tell me things. That saddens me a little that the person I love can be afraid of me that she won't tell me about somethign that could harm our relationship :(

[Luminous]

You smell dude you need to bathe more. She must really love you if she is still with you.

[Body odah Man]

Gee thanks

Lol I'm sorry I'm just being frank with ya. Also my middle name is Frank

Wut?

[LouBerry]

Well, I've seen your posts about your mother making you take, "girly baths" So, if your girlfriend is too, that can't be a good sign.

[Body odah Man]

Why exactly is that not a good sign?

[Croconaw]

You're really lucky if she's stll with you. You smell like you need to bathe more often... Since you're a boy try to bathe twice a day. You probably sweat, and that's where the smell is coming from.

[Victory]

What a coincidence! I was in the mall today and passed by a group of 12-15 year old boys and their BO was... pungent to say the least, lol. But yeah, guys are lucky if you ask me. You can shower in like 5 minutes and be done with it. Then again, bathing is like my favorite part of the day though, haha. Anyway, it sounds like your girlfriend really likes you to try and solve your BO problem while trying to avoid hurting your feelings. It's not that she's afraid to talk to you about stuff, she just doesn't want to make you sad!

5 minutes?!? I take like an hour in the shower, at least.

[Victory]

5 minutes?!? I take like an hour in the shower, at least.

I dunno, I've always heard of guys being able to shower super fast and didn't realize how. But then I took a shower with my boyfriend/friend with benefits a couple years ago (I'm single now).... And I was amazed, haha. He always smelled fantastic but all he ever did in the shower from what I saw was lather himself up with soap, wash his hair, and rinse off. It literally took under 5 minutes. I was like "WHOA", lol.

Thats pretty gross.

[Victory]

Thats pretty gross.

lol, why? It obviously worked since he always smelled great. And he was a very clean person... I take hour long baths/showers because I shave my legs and stuff, I put conditioner in my hair as opposed to just shampoo or shampoo/conditioner (which takes much longer than an average guy because we have so much more hair usually), and I like to relax before/after/during the whole process :D I'll also use different combinations of soap and scents too.

Where as my ex used his one type of soap, washed his hair, and then washed all the soap off, and then he was out. I guess it just depends on whether or not you actually enjoy bathing. If you enjoy it, you'll naturally take longer to do it whereas if you don't enjoy it, you're going to be all speedy Gonzales, do what you gotta do, and get out. BUT, usually "do what ya gotta do" takes a lot longer for us girls in the shower, lol. That's based on different conversations I've had with all kinds of girl and guy friends.

So yeah, in 5 minutes he was just as clean as I was in an hour. Of course, I was prettier though, haha ;)

[Body odah Man]

@Feraligator
Why do boys need to bathe twice a day and girls don't? And my friends who r boys bathe once a day and they smell fine so why can't I just do that.
@Victory
Thanks for gracing my thread Victory, you seem nice and witty :)
I've known a girl who had B.O. too-it's not only guys that smell bad. And I just hate showers personally but mine are around 20 minutes because I lose track of time. Yet mom still makes me take once-a-week bubble baths with vanilla scent but that's another story. But I guess I understand where ur coming from when u say my girlfriend is scared to hurt my feelings-it's quite nice of her. I do however wonder why you would experiment with scents. Isn't one scent bad enough? And you were definitely prettier than your ex haha

@Myles
An hour in the shower??? Does your mom make you or something? I find 20 minutes bad enuff hahaha. Thks for ur debate with Victory on my thread btw it was engaging

[Dawn01]

Bepop, I don't know where you live, but if live in a warm place, you should take a bath at least once a day and wear anti-transpirant. Just try to enjoy bath time, put some music, if you like singing you can sing (I love singing during the bath, since I have sing classes it's a great place to practice), close your eyes and feel the water falling over your body... I love taking baths, I feel so relaxed! And I love to feel clean!

Victory, you are just like me when it comes to take a bath! I sometimes spend more than one hour because I use the soap and wash over the soap, use shampoo, conditioner, I comb my hair (yeah! that's my tip for taking care of long hair: comb it during the bath after using conditioner, and after the bath brush your hair using some of those after bath creamy products, I don't know how you call them in english), shave my legs and other parts if I have things to be shaved, and during all the process I sing, I relax and think about my life, hehe :D

This thread is really funny, and your gf is very cute, Bebop! She loves you even though you smell, you are lucky to have such a nice girl with you. If you BO keep annoying you and the people close to you, try visiting a doctor, maybe it could be some hormonal problem.

[Body odah Man]

@^
BO can be an hormonal problem? And I guess you're right. I'll try what you recommend-I like singing even tho my voice sucks and it mite be fun.

[ovoxo23]

I'm going to ask her next week whats up and get a real answer. When I find out I'll post it on the front page

[Dawn01]

@^

Yeah, could be! You can look for an endocrinologist or a dermatologist (since the sweat glands are in the derm).

Another thing that can help reducing your BO is to shave your armpit... I know you guys don't like it, but if the armpit is shaven, you sweat less and them you have less BO.

The acoustic in bathrooms are usually very good! You'll see, that's just why many people sing during the bath :yes:

[Body odah Man]

@^
That helps reduce B.O.? Maybe I'll try it. Tho it could be that my gf isn't bathing me cuz I got a B.O. prob but something else..we'll see

[PinkFloyd]

Communication is key in a relationship. You need to ask her if she thinks you have B.O.

In my opinion, it would be awesome to have a cute girl wash me practically naked in a bath tub.

[Body odah Man]

@^
It's actually pretty nice only I dislike baths. And I'm plannin to ask her sometime next week. Thks for the tip tho

@everyone
I spoke to my gf today and she told me why she was doin all this. Basically the baths were because I had BO at those times. The showers tho were because she believes that boys can't ever wash themselves properly, so she decided to help me by doin it for me, cuz she cares

Not sure how I should feel about that

Tho I find her comment on boys hygiene insulting.

[Body odah Man]

Any1 got an opinion they want to contribute to this thread or shuld it just die?

[Turbo]

Well, I think if she cares so much about you and your personal hygiene then she's doing it to try and help you, so I wouldn't worry about it :)

[Josh from SoCal]

Same advice and info. I shower every day at least once. and I swim which adds to the solution. once every two days and your 15? ya, you stink. no offense. its normal. your past being a little kid who can skip a day.

handle your business so she doesnt need to. and after that if she still is asking to soap you up in vanilla or axe scents, *then* ask her if there is a problem or if she's just turned on by those scents and wants them on you.

but im almost positive its to cleanse you. shower. daily. EVERY day. twice if you've sweated AT ALL.

[Body odah Man]

@^
I guess your right. Just I like skipping a day. But I'll definitely think about what you siad in the 2nd paragraph. Thks for ur 2 cents.

[Camazotz]

If you shower once a day and wear deodorant, you really shouldn't be having a problem.

[NeuroTiger]

Well, forget about you being smelly.
I'll really like to have a gf who will bath with me...it's so romantic :wub:
You are lucky dude...

[Body odah Man]

Yeah it is pretty romantic. Only I wasn't sure if it is normal or not. some people say 'yes', others 'no.' Still I think I mite just keep my same hygiene have if its good (her bathing me) if not I might change.

If you shower once a day and wear deodorant, you really shouldn't be having a problem.

I shower once every 2 days and use deoderant. It's been stated.

Please don't double post, use the edit button next time ~Derri

Your girlfriend seems very controlling. I don't think this is really about you smelling, I think its more about her feeling like she can control you. And when you don't listen she pulls the guilt tripping act.

My advice to you is the next time you two are taking a nice walk together at night, ask her what exactly is going on with the baths.

[josh_9]

I think if you dislike it, you should just bathe more. Puberty is an awkward time and your body releases different hormones which may cause you to sweat more places, especially in the anogenital area and under your arms. It will get under control more as you get older, but for now, shower/bathe daily

maybe you're not washing yourself properly?

[Body odah Man]

maybe you're not washing yourself properly?

Who knows. It's possible I guess. Only isn't washing just scrubbing your armpits, crotch, butt and washing your hair for a minute under the shower with soap? Kinda hard to mess it up. Course my gf spends like 1.5 minutes on each armpit so yeah-who knows?

[NeverFazed]

maybe shes just weird like that .or its some kind of fetish she has washing you down lol

So like you told me to I asked her what the point was with the baths when I saw her again. After some dissembling she told me that the showers are just a relaxed bf/gf thing according to her (her way to pamper me but she has said that guys are bad at washing themselves once). The baths however she claims are because sometimes I have awful B.O. and she wants to help me so that I don't suffer from it. Not sure if there's a controlling undertone however but there might be. What do you think? Is this normal or kindof strange?

[Body odah Man]

What can I say I like to be clean

You can be clean with 1 Shower a day I think but that's just me I guess. I however feel that I could never stand 2x showers a day.

How old are you? 16? You are a young man, she doesn't need to wash you, you can take care of your own personal hygiene. Have you noticed yourself having B.O.? Just take a shower every day and use a strong deodorant. Its not a major catastrophe. We all get it. :P

Personally, I think it's kind of strange. I would never wash my boyfriend/girlfriend. I mean if we're in the shower messing around and he wants to get romantic...sure. But running baths specifically to cleanse him, no. I'm not his mother, and I don't want to come off as trying to be one.

Everyone is different, and your girlfriend is no exception. If these bathing situations make you uncomfortable just tell her you want them to end. But if she starts pulling that guilt tripping shit again, call her out on it. Good luck.

And no I've never noticed that I have B.O. but she says it's true so yeah... who knows. I'm not sure if those bathing situations make me uncomfortable or not because I don't know if they're normal or not. However according to you they aren't so I will try calling her out of it. Not sure what I'll do if she won't listen/stop tho...

[Body odah Man]

any more advice?

[Saint of Sinners]

Well, i for one shower like 3x a day and still get B.O. sometimes. I think she just wants you to be clean and smell nice :D

[Body odah Man]

Well, i for one shower like 3x a day and still get B.O. sometimes. I think she just wants you to be clean and smell nice :D

O.K. I don't know whats odder-the fact you can shower 3x a day or the fact you can still have B.O. after that. Damn. But your last sentence might be right. Perhaps I'm being a bit too hasty assuming that she does it out of spite or non love.

[Body odah Man]

any other advice?

[Body odah Man]

I hope that enough time has passed for me to bump this thread so bump

[Body odah Man]

O.k. so me and my gf are no longer together as I decided after all you guys stopped voting that it was time to talk to her about it....talking turned into arguing and arguing into yelling and now we've broken up. On the one hand I miss her-but on the other hand I'm glad I no longer have to take those dumb baths and it's better to end these weird things early rather then prolong them before it gets really odd. Hopefully next gf I'll have better luck.

Thanks for your feedback everyone :)
