Can sex cause your vagina to have a different smell, like the day after? I was curious, maybe there is some leftover sperm or something. Any thoughts?

If you're having unprotected sex....then the semen (not sperm) goes into your vagina. I don't know what you mean by "left over" semen, but once he ejaculates in you, it has nowhere to go but out. Even when you're laying down, much of it will come out, and sometimes there's still some left hours later when you get up. That, mixed with your own lubrication, and then the bacteria on your skin will produce an odor.

What a man ejaculates is called semen. The sperm are just a tiny bit of the semen. The sperm are what fertilizes your ova to make you pregnant.

Yes, the mixture of your bodily fluids with his will cause a different and stronger scent.

Yes. Semen temporarily changes the PH level in the vagina and can result in a strong, sometimes, unpleasant odor. If you bathe within a few hours of intercourse, you should notice an improvement. I would recommend a bath as opposed to a shower though. Sitting in water more efficiently rinses semen from the vaginal entrance. Douching is NOT recommended though.

during sex, people's bodies release pherimones which are scents to attract your mate. also yes, semen that is retained within the vagina can cause an odor as it gets mixed with your own bodily fluids. i would say it is normal as long as it isn't foul smelling.

The OP was talking about when he ejaculates inside of you.
