Folks I have a real problem that I need help with.

I recently met a wonderful woman. I could extol her virtues all day, but in a nutshell she is smokin hot, charming, smart, witty, sweet, hip, and financially independent. I had been trying to get a date with her for months but she was coming off a long term relationship. Anyway, my persistence finally paid off. I've seen her about 7 times in the last 3 weeks.

Here's the problem. Although she has been very tender and there has been a lot of touching, she has been very reluctant to kiss me on the lips. One night she said she didn't want to kiss because she had eaten onions and was a stickler for having fresh breath. I produced a new toothbrush for her and we both brushed our teeth but then she still balked. My undertstanding was that this had something to do with her recent breakup and just figured I'd have to be patient. She kinda half jokingly said that we would probably end up having sex before she would kiss me on the lips and in fact it almost turned out that way. We have kissed but with the exception of one night, it has been little pecks.

Last night she finally told me that she has a very sensitive sense of smell (so sensitive that she could smell both a glass of red wine and a glass of white wine, and distinguish the two, although both were about 3 feet away). She told me that every time she gets close to me, she smells something bad. I couldn't get too many specifics, except maybe it's kind of an "herb" smell. She thinks it comes from something I take (I take a LOT of vitamins and supplements). It seems she's not sure if it is my breath or coming from my skin but I think its my breath because she joked that she could just give me blowjobs or have sex doggie style but we really wouldn't be kissing unless it goes away.

Although I've never had a better blowjob, the bottom line is I have to do something about this or I will lose her.

I told her truthfully that there is no vitamin or supplement that is more important than she is and being able to kiss her is. I plan to drop everything for the time being and hope I can figure this out or somehow remedy the situation.

My first thought was it might be fish oil caps (if I belch after taking them it is kinda nasty) or maybe the antibiotics I am taking have killed off the "good" bacteria in my stomach.

For the last 9 months or so that I've been single, I've put a lot of effort into finding a new steady girl, and I've dated and kissed about 40 girls in that time. I've met almost all of these girls online, no bar hookup / one night stands. Nobody else has shied away from kissing me and it hasn't been an issue in past relationships either.

I'm going to list everything I'm taking below and ask for help as to 1) what may be causing this problem; and/or 2) what I can do beyond the usual hygene / brush teeth / mouthwash / cologne / deodorant. This is kinda embarrassing but I'm very serious.

Doxycycyline (antibiotic for inflamed eyelids) 1-2 100 mg. tabs daily with meals

Kirkland Fish Oil (3) 1 gram capsules - with morning shake, lunch, and dinner

Puritan’s Pride St. John’s Wort caps (3) 400 mgs.

Puritan’s Pride Zinc 50 mgs.

Melatonin 1.5 mgs.

BAC POLYCOSANOL @20mg/day, phytosterol base

Just started, AFTER I met her:
USP Labs Camphibolic containing Cissus Quadrangularis, Forskolin, Grean Team and Bacopa Monnieri

I doubt that it matters, but I am also on moderate doses of injectable test, eq, and masteron and oral Anavar.

hm, are the fish oil caps enteric coated? Nothing stands out here. If you really suspect it is a supplement i would start with the fish oil. If that does not work, go cold turkey and start adding them in. she will let you know/.

I take so many pills it is absurd, I know. It didn't happen all at once, kinda just kept adding things and I still think I'm a kook.

I don;t think the fish oil is enteric coated, the bottle doesn't say so and they are from costco.

I think I am going to drop everything, work on basic oral hygene and see if that works, then I can start adding things back in one by one.

Are you dieting or staying in ketosis?

If its not the fish body oils, this would be my thought.

Whenever I go into ketois, my breath and body smell horrible.

I am not in ketosis nor am I dieting down.

kills my "something other than supplements" theory. Well, have you considered going to a dentist just out of curiosity? A small infection could have been sparked that wasn't bad enough to hurt but bad enough to smell like ass.

Can't explain an herby smell, if it was a rotting smell it would probably be the doxycycline, you should really see what sort of damage tetracyclins do on a microbial level.

It would help if somebody else could smell it.

I dropped the doxycycline and got a script for some eyedrops that contain prednisone.

I am considering trying to move up my appointment with the dentist and in the meantime I am stepping up my oral hygene big time.

Yeah well, doxycyclin definitely won't be helping oral hygiene. In fact one renowned problem of older tetracyclins was that they turned your teeth a nice shade of black.

Well I told her what I was doing and she seems pretty confident that it isn't my breath, but rather coming from my skin. We'll see if being off almost all supps for a week changes anything. She said if not we'll just have to have sex doggy style.

The guys have a point here, I've been around the block enough to know that if a woman tries to change you early in a relationship, she will never stop. That's not always a bad thing, I'm a pretty snappy dresser with a good fashion sense because of it But it doesn't make for a happy relationship.

I really don't think she's trying to change me. I guess you would have had to "be there" to understand. Basically, she likes me, I like her, and we have this issue...

Who knows how it will play out.
