Gone off sex chat with Dr Sarah Brewer

continued from page 5
Why does he smell since his vasectomy?
Q: Since my partner had a vasectomy, we've had problems having sex. I find the smell of his sperm, and general sex smells, unbearable and it puts me off sex.

 A: Semen contains more prostate secretions after a vasectomy as these have not been diluted by secretions from the testicles. Prostate secretions do smell strongly as they contain a number of whiffy substances, including putrescene. All you can do is use condoms, smelly lubricants (strawberry, orange, blackcurrant, mint flavours are available), scent the air with aromatherapy candles or incense sticks, or wear nasal plugs. Dietary changes such as cutting out (or adding in) garlic may also help.
