Have a boyfriend, weโ€™re both in our mid-20s and have been dating for most of the year. Heโ€™s my first love, so gentle to me, and I truly love what weโ€™re building together.

I noticed a few months ago when we were in the middle of doggy that I was smellingโ€ฆunwashed ass. And when we were moving positions I could confirm it was him, because I came near his rear end and could smell fecal residue stronger. Not trying to paint him as gross. I love him and heโ€™s pretty hygienic otherwise. He also has a thing where he canโ€™t smell, so I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt since he canโ€™t โ€˜smell-checkโ€™ himself like I can. But the smell was bad/distracting enough that I brought it up gently after we finished sex. He was embarrassed, apologized profusely and promised to do better. In the wake of that, heโ€™s been fairly good at showering thoroughly right before sex to prevent any unwanted smells.

Itโ€™s probably only happened two times since then that during foreplay I had to remind him to shower, or when he was trying to initiate and I could smell through his shorts that he needed to freshen up before clothes even came off.

Itโ€™s been a few weeks since I had to mention him smelling a bit unsavory. Today we had sex and while I didnโ€™t smell anything, I noticed when he got up there was a small skid mark where he was laying down. Is it worth bringing up in case he still isnโ€™t thoroughly washing? Or should I let it go as a one-off that in a long-term relationship itโ€™s inevitable that your partner will have hygiene slip-ups from time to time?

I donโ€™t want to make him insecure/make him scared that every time we have sex his butt will smell bad, but I donโ€™t want it to keep happening. Hygiene is really big for me, and bad smells can really take me out of sex/get in the way of me getting turned on in the future.

TLDR: Not sure if my boyfriend has the best anal hygiene. Smells kept coming up during/before sex. Now there was a small skid mark on my sheets. Iโ€™ve brought up hygiene, but is it worth bringing up again? Or should I write this incident off as a one-off and save him the insecurity/awkwardness?
