This is a strange topic and I feel really weird replying but...
I feel the need to call this out:

It's sweat. After sex I smell almost exactly like I do after a handball game.
There is a faint smell of precum too, semen itself has almost no smell.You sure about that?
I am. Semen has almost no smell.
edit: I just read the most perfect description to it's smell, sodium hypochlorite.
And no, from what you said you never did it, but believe me, the "men's scent" we are talking here don't smell like bleach
if your semen doesn't smell like that, what does it taste like?

Your edit is a grammatical mess. What do you mean? What are you referring with "And no"? You just stated that your perfect description for the odour is bleach yet proceed to say it "don't" smell like bleach... what are you trying to say?
Back to the OP: Various endogenous chemical determine the smell of an individual's semen. These chemicals vary depending on diet and other environmental factors.

I said semen smells like bleach(faint smell), but the scent you smell after sex can't possibly be semen since it doesn't smell like bleach.

I'm studying in the health sciences and from what I remember of my organic chemistry class with some anecdotes from physiology and biochemistry, I have to disagree.
There are some basic amines in semen to overcome the acidic environment in the vagina which could damage/kill sperm cells (the vagina is acidic as a physical barrier to microbial infection). I don't remember most of the compounds but the two that stick out were Spermidine ('cause the name comes from sperm) and Cadaverine. Cadaverine is particularly interesting because it is also found in rotting carcases (cadaver, corpse, etc.) produced from the tissue decomposition. 😮
That's probably the smell you're thinking about 🤢
Quote from Pediatricia
Most girls' odors are not -that- strong unless there's a problem like a vaginal infection...or if they're not keeping it clean 'down there'.
You are correct. I learned that it's generally odourless except for what you've just mentioned... If it smells weird, I'm supposed to refer to a physician (if this is the patient's 1st infection or it occurs very frequently).
It's probably a pyschological thing too, since I'm sure a lot of our sensory input is subjected to human interpretation which is usually defined by previous experiences and conceptions. If it is a smell that no one else seems to have the same identification with I'm assuming the individual is more basing the scent on the intimate experience they just had with their partner than the smell that their sexual intercourse created. You never know what the human mind is capable of creating... I really hope I don't sound like Freud right now lol because I have quite the distaste for that man :/

the smell most people smell after sex is a combination of both people's sweat and bodily fluids lol..its mostly sweat, it smells stronger because normally it's done in a enclosed space (like a bedroom =D),
