Ask QC: Cure For A Stinky Butt?
Hi guys,
I'm a 23-year-old guy and I take pride on my tidiness. I always trim and prim myself and also I always wear a cologne and deodorant so that every part of my body smells nice. That's what I'm known by. People can't seem to have enough of my soft and clean skin but I have a problem.
The only part that I can't get to smell nice or at least not smell is my ass. I know it's supposed to smell but I've been with a ton of guys that have an odorless ass. I just want to know about it because I've tried everything, even regular deodorant but it still smells bad and I can smell it when I'm having sex and it's such a turn off.
I don't know if I should douche or if that'll work but if you know why or you can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Stinky Butt

Douche and use scented lube... :)
Dear SB,
If you have a bowel movement and wash your butt, you shouldn't have any bad smells back there. An enema really isn't necessary--unless you're taking on a rugby team.
Have you spoken with your doctor about this? If not, talk to him/her about this and anything else on your mind about your body. If you're not out to your doctor, open up. If you think you can't, find a gay-friendly doc.
Chlorophyll tablets and/or activated Charcoal Tablets...
The problem is obviously what you eat
This two products neutralize that smell...
These will make your shit appear darker... but Hey !
Another trick is to swallow therapeutic Peppermint Capsules. They will actual make you butt smell like a peppermint patty . Even your farts will smell like they should be served with grilled meats.
o Lay off the curry and avoid asparagus which well scent your semen something awful
Your diet has a ton to do with it. Google it, generally the more chemicals in your food the worse off you are : / I just did my first enema and it is definitely a step you might want to consider. I was freaked out at first but it was fine.
Give yourself a break here. If we were meant to smell like antiseptic Ken dolls, we'd have been built with plastic bodies. Still, it's no wonder we're appalled by what nature gave us...after all, the mass media have convinced men and women alike that our natural attributes are automatically bad, and should be flushed away by any extreme means necessary. Is it any wonder that many women feel compelled to douche until they smell more like Pine Sol than women?
Don't underestimate Mother Nature's wisdom: the musky aroma exuded by a clean, healthy body during sex is a powerful aphrodisiac. Eliminating it is, in a sense, neutering ourselves. Rather ironic that we do it in an attempt to make ourselves more attractive sexually.
So my advice is to skip the enemas, the douches, and the deodorant. Make a sudsy shower part of your foreplay, and be sure to tend to your nether areas with a little Irish Spring. Then, forget about smells from that point forward, and enjoy the body you were given.
And let your man do the same.
"generally the more chemicals in your food the worse off you are"
Chemicals are just things formed of atoms and molecules, are you saying that we should avoid food with mass?
You can certainly try chlorophyll tablets (and before chemical guy freaks out: It is the stuff that makes plants green) they are commonly used by people with colostomies for odor control. You could also eat lots of raw parsley and cilantro, but the tabs are more portable. Enteric-coated oil of peppermint capsules may help; they are commonly used by people with IBS. You might want to avoid them or take them with food if you have reflux problems. Even Breath Assure capsules can help a little, though they are meant to deal with odors at the other end of the GI tract. A short round of probiotics can help to establish normal GI flora. And throttle back on the onions, garlic, and asparagus; if it can make your breath or piss stink, then assume the odor can diffuse from other areas.
Here's something quite effective. After washing your butt/anus, spray baking soda on your anus and wait a few seconds, then rinse. It seems to neutralize odor very well. I just put alot of baking soda in water in a spray bottle. Along with the diet tips, this ought to make your mighty rimmable and munched on in no time!!
Part of this is just the way your particular body is built and functions. I've lived with a guy who did nothing in particular to address this issue and he smelled clean as a meadow at all times. Another guy was fastidious, yet smelled. Since I know what their grooming habits were and what they ate I could conclude that it's not necessarily grooming habits or what you ingest that makes all the difference, different anatomys (down there) and digestive processes will have different outcomes.
So, what to do? Any cleaning product that can positively eliminate smell will be pretty caustic and leave its own distinct, and probably unpleasant, odor. 'Deodorant' foods and supplements are digested before they are eliminated so I have doubts about their effectiveness by the time they reach your anus. Out of all the suggestions given, I'd be inclined to give Nikko's a try: A rinse with a baking soda solution. Maybe there's a gentle cleaner out there that includes baking soda as an ingredient? I'd also recommend wet wipes (found in the toilet paper aisle) to help ensure you're not leaving anything ... err ... behind.
If i know im going to bottom i douche, nothing kills the mood like a crappy surprise. You should try it to see if its just some of that chalupa you ate earlier getting plunged out when your effin.
Here's something that's really easy, non-toxic, and it actually works. Go to your local health food store, and pick up a stick of natural rock salt deodorant; it kills bacteria.
After showering, or washing, simply wet the stick and glide it back and forth a few times. Works wonders so long as you use it regularly. Give it a few weeks if at first you don't find immediate relief.
I use it twice a day, on my underarms too. Haven't used aluminum based anti-perspirants in over four years. Remember, regular use is the key.
Try this wedbsite ... they market the product called Sphincterine:

Have not used it yet but I heard good things
some good advice already
A: try to maintain regular bowel function, same time daily if possible, so that you know when you'll be cleanest for butt sex - make sure you're eating enough fruits and veggies for fibre for healthy intestinal flora to thrive on, and eat a good yogourt regularly (your stool is probably not firm and de-watered enough from moving through large intestine too fast from poor diet, or from too many stimulants, or from anxiety, or IBS...)
B: get your clean finger better acquainted with your rectum when showering (too much soap will hurt though)...be very gentle, see if you can find your prostate, feel for any bumps (warts) or sore spots (fissures, hemorrhoids) and get treated if necessary!
C: douche if possible before sex (not totally necessary though if BM's are regular - rectum should stay relatively clean most of the day)
D: be kind to your love tunnel - rough sex can damage tissues of rectum, causing body fluids to leak, allowing more bacteria to flourish, possibly meaning more odour
E: read book called "Anal Pleasure and Health"
IMHO, cut back on the cologne and deodorant "on every part of your body"! Light scents from decent soaps or shampoos are enough for most people, and your natural body pheromones won't be given a chance to work and attract a bedmate if masked so heavily. Most cologne has a very short shelf-life anyway and thus a waste of money.
The only thing you need is a good psychologist....
Lots of fibre rich food!
