One possible reason why Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina might be perfume scented: Paltrow recommends [steam-cleaning your vagina](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jan/30/sorry-gwyneth-paltrow-but-steaming-your-vagina-is-a-bad-idea). On the other hand, you may _need_ to steam-clean your vagina after using Gwyneth Paltrow’s vaginal jade eggs, which are porous and can [house bacteria](https://drjengunter.com/2017/01/17/dear-gwyneth-paltrow-im-a-gyn-and-your-vaginal-jade-eggs-are-a-bad-idea/). If you are not sufficiently ‘woke’ for Gwyneth Paltrow’s products, you could try something else she recommends: Dr. Junger’s Implant O-Rama At-Home Coffee Enemas (quart-size). ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > Ah the sent of stale smoke and dead tuna… Please be advised that I have struggled with the wording of the following post because I fear there is a large possibility that I could get into trouble by posting this. Several times I decided it would be best just to forget about posting this as the possible uproar would just not be worth the risk. Specifically, I fear it could offend people - especially women - and I really do not want to do that - honest and for true. However this thread alludes to one issue that has bothered me for a long time and I feel a strong urge to finally ask for some help in the understanding. I’m having a great deal of difficulty trying to find a way to present this issue in a sensitive way and warn people they may find it offensive. So, please be advised that if you are uncomfortable discussing sensitive issues regarding sexual activity or the function or problems with human body parts involved in sexual activity, please bypass this spoiler box and please do not read this post. I’m making this post because it concerns an issue that has plagued me for many years and although I have tried to discuss this issue in other places (not on this message board), I have always regretted trying to discuss this because it seems so likely to result in a whole lot of grief. I once knew a lady intimately and every time we engaged in sexual intercourse the room seemed to fill with a terrible smell that was like fish but much worse - maybe like rotten tuna. So when I saw someone had made a poste in this thread about “rotting tuna”, it brought back these unpleasant memories. Then I heard a song. I’m not exactly positive of the name of the song or the name of the group that sang it. But I believe one of those names may have been “Hot Tuna”. One of the lines of the song (I think it may have been the first line) went like this, “Now what’s that smell like fish now baby? I really would like to know.” I once started a thread on another board using a different ID and asked about this reference to fish. The result was a howl of protest and many indignant protests by people claiming I had intentionally tried to offend them (trolling). I swear that was not true. I was just looking for some kind of explanation. Someone once told me that smell is the result of a yeast infection and is quite common and that was the reason for the line in that song. They also said that is the reason why so many people joke about this but are very careful to remain secretive about it. However, my opinion is that if this is a medical issue, it would be best to let people know so they can go see a doctor and get help to solve this problem. Is that not the reasonable thing to do? Does anyone here know the truth about this issue and yeast infections? I somehow suspect that Gwenneth Paltrow may just be interested in making a fast buck by selling her Goop to people - possible with the knowledge - but maybe without the knowledge whether a scented candle would help anything other than Gwenneth’s bank balance. ---

Further to my above post, I found some links to the music groug, “Hot Tuna” and the lyrics to that song. Here are the links: > **[Hot Tuna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Tuna)** > > Hot Tuna is an American blues rock band formed in 1969 by former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen (guitarist/vocals) and Jack Casady (bassist). Although it has always been a fluid aggregation, with musicians coming and going over the years, the band's center has always been Kaukonen and Casady's ongoing collaboration. > Hot Tuna began as a side project to Jefferson Airplane, intended to mark time while Grace Slick recovered from vocal cord nodule surgery that had left her unable to per... > **[Hot Tuna (album)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Tuna_(album))** > > Hot Tuna is the debut album by the American blues rock band Hot Tuna, released in 1970 as RCA Victor LSP-4353.

Although there are dozens of articles about the candle by now I cannot find an actual review. Does the aroma even remotely suggest the warm and pleasant confines of her Holiest of Holys?

I’ve never used the poll feature, but this question probably isn’t worth it anyway. Would people consider $75 for this candle to be a bigger ripoff if it doesn’t actually smell like Paltrow’s vagina, or… if it does? :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/paltrow-introduces-vagina-scented-candle/846314.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/paltrow-introduces-vagina-scented-candle/846314.md?page=4)
