[26 F] Question/advice about hygiene and oral sex

There have been a few times when I’ve been on a date or hanging out with a guy I’ve been talking to, and after spending a few hours together, things naturally start to get more intimate. When they offer to go down on me, I often feel a little self-conscious — mostly because we’ve already been hanging out for a while, and I worry that I might be a bit sweaty or not as fresh as I was earlier. So as a result, I usually decline even though part of me wants to move forward.

I always make sure to take care of myself before seeing them — showering, shaving, and applying lotion literally everywhere. But after a few hours, no matter what, I just end up feeling kind of gross and unsure.

How much do guys actually care if you’re not perfectly fresh? And is there anything else I can do to avoid feeling this way in the future?
