In popular culture as well as in personal stories told by many people there's often mentions of spontaneously having sex in random places and sometimes with random people: in cars, in clubs, in bathrooms etc. But how do people do that without taking shower beforehand? Penetration is imaginable - if there's no strong bad smell, it might be tollerable, but what about oral sex? Sounds vomit inducing.

This might be a reflection of your own hygiene. People are always surprised that I only shower once or twice a week and don't wear deodorant because I look and smell so clean. Ive had orgiastic sex camped out in the woods where no one had access to bathrooms or showers and honestly it was no smellier or grosser than sexing people in a place with showers.

Good diet and doing laundry properly goes a long way but honestly some people are just nasty as fuck with their genitals and no amount of access to running water will change this. There's unwashed pussies and dicks you will put in your mouth that taste wonderful and there are people who's junk will smell like yeast and rotten meat even though they just took a shower

Sex is a little nasty anyways. If you're not comfortable with other people's taint you're just not gonna be able to have as much sex. Not all taint is equal but it's all taint

Absolutely this, there's no way to be with more than one person and not have things end up sweaty and smelly even if you just showered ... and I am so into that.

Um. I don't think they're surprised because you look and smell so clean. If you only shower once or twice a week and don’t wear deodorant, you stink and you're nose blind.

Nah, he might just have good skin microbiome.

Wow. I got downvoted into oblivion for saying that people should shower everyday and wear deodorant. People on the Internet are not even remotely normal.
