I never taste soap or bath & body works. Of course, it is up to the lady to rinse thoroughly, so you never taste soap. I just like the smell of fresh and clean myself.
I guess I misread the thread...I thought it was about the smell...now taste is different story, and different from person to person in my experience.
As far as smell, I like the fresh scent of cleanliness, it helps me get in the mood better. I prefer a fresh clean smell as I indicated earlier, and with thorought rinsing I never taste soap, also stated earlier.
Running around on the beach playing volleyball then smell, or fresh out of bath or shower?????????????
Since we are talking SMELL, I say I prefer the after shower routine, but if you prefer sweat and natural odors more power to you.
