Hmmmm I agree with other comments that this is disappointing advice in one respect - a desire for freshening up before sex is entirely reasonable. Not all of us are Napoleon! As long as the desire is expressed politely and as non-judgementally as possible, it’s fine. Naturally such a message would still be hard to receive but good delivery makes a world of difference. Unless there’s a trauma-related reason for the GF not freshening up, following what sounds like an acceptable request, I’m fully onboard with the OP. I respectfully suggest you disregard this aspect of the advice.
