Of course I take a shower and clean my equipment before an appt but it doesn't take long for my crotch to smell different from my forearm (and generally my forearm smells better). I have thought about things like anti-perspirants but assume that that leaves an unpleasant taste. Anyway, just wondering if besides showering (maybe even at providers location), if there are any products or other tips that you would recommend. Thanks.

Great advice! Especially about keeping it clean back there. I'm always a little confused when a guy is freshly showered and smells amazing but misses that area. It's important :p

for those of us that don't normally shop the essential oils aisle , can you be a little more specific?  What would I look for?

trimming the hedge closely or shaving/waxing completely.  Moist pubic hair promotes rapid bacteria growth, which in turn creates the foul smell, so its easier to stay dry without the shrubbery.  

Make sure you trim trim trim
Hair holds moisture and smell.

Aveeno liquid oatmeal soap in the baby aisle
Regular soap drys the skin so the body tried to restore the oil

Unfortunately, this is not a great option for me. I am so hairy to begin with, having a bald patch highlighting my equipment would look quite odd, quite odd indeed. I mean basically, my pubic hair almost blends in with the hair everywhere else. I do occasionally shave my balls though, and even my shaft (although that is one area which is relatively follicle-free to begin with). I just took a trimmer to the area and chopped things down to about 1/3rd their original height, so maybe that will proportionally reduce any bacterial signs. I suppose I could apply anti-perspirant to areas that would not come in contact with anyone's tongue, like my inner thighs, and maybe ball sac, and maybe blow dry the area after a shower to eliminate that source of moisture.

OK, OK, I'm ridiculous, but I just got out of the shower, brushed and flossed my teeth, and then used some mouthwash. Then it occurs to me to slap some on my 'area.'  Supposedly it "kills germs that cause bad breath", and if that's true I don't know why it wouldn't also be true that it causes germs that cause crotch stank. It tastes kind of nice IMO so don't have to worry about someone getting a weird taste of aluminum sulphate or anything like that in their mouth. Plus, my balls still have a nice tingly feeling (perhaps accentuated by the fact that I did a little supplemental shaving just before).

Ladies and gentleman, for your viewing pleasure, I present to you the inimitable Redd Foxx.

One was so hairy that one time we were at a hotel pool picking up co-eds during spring break and the lifeguard walked up to him and says, "Hey buddy, you can't go in the pool with a sweater on."  That was kind of a wake-up call, so he started experimenting with manscaping and found he did much better with the ladies without all of the hair, AND he smelled better . . . . everywhere, not just his crotch.  There are ways to taper the trimming to blend into other areas so that it doesn't look odd at all.  Once I started closely trimming I found the oral service I was getting was twice as good as before, so I took the plunge and went bare and it got even better.  Get a full-body electric shaver that bodybuilders use to make their whole body smooth and hairless prior to oiling up and competing.  Several companies make them.   Less chance of an accident than with a blade.

ooohhhh, I like fur.

and I would lick your inner thighs. ;0

You don't have to do anything and you get a lovely lady like this willing to lick you all over.  OR, you can implement a few of the suggestions I made and see the kinds of girls I see without fear of rejection.  Seems you have two good choices.  Enjoy.

And a BIG thank you for the link.

I shower and shave before getting to her place. Below deck I completely shave. When I get to her place we shower together. We lather each other. So much fun showering with her before we play. We even play in the shower.  

I think the ladies wouldn't care if it looked  
"odd" if he shaved all of his junk. And your info for clipping down all of his body hair is even better. Just as long as he doesn't end up all prickly! I've experienced more than one prickly feeling guy and it's beyond irritating to my skin. There are some guy I wish would not shave their chest and back hair. It feels bad when we both are "neckkid"!

At the end of the day, if it's that much of a problem you might as  well just shower when you arrive so you can be 100% sure there will be no issues.

Here is the female counterpart on the link below to the look you have described you have.  Some guys like this look.  I don't, but that's just me.  If you find this attractive, then you need to find providers like this that will find your hairiness pleasing as well.  If you are put off by this look, as many hobbyists would be, then you should reconsider your own presentation and look when you see a provider.  What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.  

I'm in Love!!  Seriously though, it's weird but whereas I really don't care at all for leg hair on a woman, I'm not offended by armpit hair and much prefer a natural or modestly shaven puss to the more popular (among providers) bald look.

For the record, I don't actually think it's "that much of a problem," I just want to be considerate. I agree that shower at the incall is among the best of options.

I have done my good deed for the day.  Go forth, my son, and floss to your heart's content.  

I'd say the same. We're mammals, after all! We got hair! I don't know if you're an old guy like me, but it might be partly a generational thing.

Too funny.  

This is taking honesty to a whole 'notha' level. Hot DAYUM lol!!!

this is the main reason showers are offered to clients

I've found that using Vagasil works the best for odor block, followed by some feminine spray.

I suggest baby wipes and most providers have them in their restrooms.

+1 Thanks

Apply soap and water to genitals, ass crack, and underarms after dropping the donation on the dresser but before climbing into bed naked with provider.  Problem solved.
