Today, I went over to my crush's house for the first time. Everything was going great until his dog came up to me, smelled my crotch, and immediately began making horrible coughing sounds and backing away in terror. Thanks, bud. FML.

Everybody is saying "take a shower!" but OP's name is "JustShowered" so I believe that base has been covered. So either the scent cannot be helped by an ordinary shower, the OP does not shower well, or the dog was just putting on a show and the scent didn't cause them to cough.

Laundry detergent scents can be very mild and pleasant for humans, but an overpowering slap in the face for dogs (with their sensitive noses). Ever since I switched to Gain, my parents' dogs will always sneeze once or twice after they sniff the knees of my jeans.

Dogs traditionally don't like pussy, don't take it too personally

Maybe the dog is sensitive to synthetic odors, like laundry detergent or your shower gel.

We tend to forget that our pets don't necessarily smell/see/hear the same as we do. As people have said, it was probably your detergent or soap as well as how it reacted with your body (ever notice how the same perfume smells different on other people?) maybe it was just too strong or smelled a bit funky to the dog.

If you're on your period, that could be part of the reason...

As far as I've noticed (and heard from others), dogs seem to actually LOVE that smell.

I feel bad for laughing. I bet your crotch...smells great? no. no. please forget i said that. i should think of something else.
