TMI: my armpits

In my teens, they didn’t smell like much. From around the time I was 18, they started to have a rice vinegar smell. Maybe puberty? Maybe from touching people more?

As of recently, they have sometimes have a more typical stinky-armpit smell, which the internet tells me is caused by a corynebacterium infestation. Many Asian people including myself are blessed not to have this naturally.

This seems to go away pretty quickly when it occurred. I got it for the first time from sex, I think, and now it seems to have stuck to one of my articles of clothing (that I’ve since washed on a sanitize cycle, so hopefully ends.) Armpit STDs.
