I am experiencing this problem as well except I cannot determine if it
is caused by having intercoarse or not. My concern is that it seems
everytime I urinate I smell a really strong smell, not even fish like,
something strong like an onion smell. I've often wondered if it might
be my urine. Does what you eat or drink effect how you might smell down
there. I have heard that a man's semen will have an odor or taste
depending on what he eats?? When do we get an answer to this??
