ManyNormalsOutThere: Well, my many many many years of experience in this area might be of some help to you!! Vaginas are like flowers, so many acceptable odors--as long as it doesn't smell like a Skunk Flower (Titan arum), Eastern Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) or the Dead Horse Arum (Helicodiceros muscivorus), you'll be fine.

Better see doctor: You don't provide enough information. If you had vigorous sex and are now a bit sore, probably nothing is wrong and the discomfort will clear up in a couple of days.

If older (e.g. post menopausal), maybe low estrogen. Best see a doctor about this.
