20. After The Tumultuous Free-Fall

In a more revealing moment, a few thoughts on penises.

I used to not really like them. I mean, I didn’t really mind the appendage, as a general rule, but neither am I one of those women intimately caught up in the mysteries of peni. Trying to work my way around being a sex-positive woman with little interest in penetration meant that I did spend a fair share of my time dodging their involvement in my sex life. And gentlemen, love you though I do, I happen to find most of you far more attractive in jeans than naked. What can I say? I’m a costumer. I like strategic clothing.

But May’s penis is swaying my opinion, and has been for some time. For one thing, it smells good. I have met some confronting smells, and some neutral ones, genitals that simply did not smell at all. I happen to think women smell nicer than men. So to find out this late in the game that the penis can smell genuinely good? That is unexpected, and gleeful.

I’m not a dirty girl. I know, I know. But I’m not. I’d rather be clean, I’d rather smell nice. I’d rather not roll around in pools of my own sweat and bodily fluid, although I will, in the heat of certain moments. And thus the real crux of my wariness. Eventually penises, big, small, rosy, smelly, clean, dirty, shaved, unshaved, eventually in our encounter they will spurt bodily fluid at me. That can be a literally amazing moment. It can be splendid, it can be tumultuous ecstatic free-fall.

But once the aftershocks wear off, I can’t help but think that semen just…smells awful. I hustle May to the shower, I laugh as he wipes the goo from his own eyes. And once he’s clean again, I let his back next to my skin.

    I am very sensitive to smells so clean is a good thing. Some bodies just smell better than others, and showers are always good things. You are not alone.

    Ah, weenie smell.

    Sometimes WHEW!!, sometimes merely off-putting, sometimes …. well occasionally it does smell good.

    I agree that women’s fluids smell good more often than penises do, and that some men always smell bad (in my experience, bad diet and/or habitual booze makes for a stinkier pecker). I assumed penises with foreskin would smell stronger or worse or something, that is until I met one. Thank goodness bbenn smells good more often than not. And like a strong cheese, or a biting wasabi, sometimes I just smell it anyway.

    The odor of semen itself is pretty mild to me, unless it hangs around (especially in the vagina!) However, I am very tolerant of semen these days, as I went ten years without ever seeing it, after my ex’s prostate surgery.

    How nice to have your opinion swayed by May’s penis. That made me smile.

    I’m not so much a huge fan either, although I do think penises feel very interesting…
